Hi all. Just want to 1st point out that i'm a Liverpool supporter and a passionate 1 at that.
But i guess you could say passion is what's best about the football game. Not to mention above all the passion Paolo Di Canio has for Swindon.
To be honest with you I had hardly heard of Swindon (I'm from Australia by the way so it's understandable soapy tit wank) up until Paolo Di Canio got the job. Paolo Di Canio was 1 of my favourite players alongside Robbie Fowler for me. All from the days he was in Scotland up until he went back 2 Italy. I really enjoyed his career at west ham. As much as i love my reds i couldn't wait till the next West Ham game would be shown on TV purely because of Di Canio, watching his talent, leadership, tenacity and passion not 2 mention the sublime skill he had. It was a joy 2 behold.
Anyway this is a Swindon forum so it's all about Swindon.
I was absolutely over the moon 2 hear Di Canio get the Swindon job because i always wanted him 2 get in2 management. Although I was always hopeful he would get the West Ham job and he still might but obviously not yet. And that's the reason i'm thrilled now. Watching your team from their scratchy start last season 2 progress in2 the best team in league 2 was a absolutely fantastic. I was so happy Paolo could get his relationship on an excellent level with the club, players and fans.
As he got on and on during the season you could see the passion he would express, either during interviews or that fantastic celebration when he ran on against Northampton, It literally had the hair on the back of neck raised because that shit doesn't happen anymore or so often and to see Paolo do it was bloody brilliant.
I heard that Paolo got the job because he was happy what Swindon offered him as well that it is a real club with real people and a real community. By this i mean down to earth nothing fake about this place. And that just typifies Di canio he's so down to earth and he's real. That's y i love him he expresses his opinion with passion because he wants 2 make his point heard because he loves his team.
I did always want Paolo to come back and manage West Ham but as time goes on I really hope he stays at Swindon for a very very long time and helps eventually promote you guys to the higher leagues. Never know maybe 1 day it'll be a Swindon Liverpool fixture rather sooner than later. That'll be fantastic.
Anyway all, I've taken up too much time. I just want to commend all the swindon supporters for being such a REAL club and I wish you guys all the best in League 1 this season. Congratulations on your promotion, good luck to you all, Swindon, Paolo and all the fans. Wish you all the best.
Hopefully a cup tie against my mob would be great this season
