Well I think this settles the "Did Yeo wrote it?" debate.

Totally agree. I'm getting a bit fucked off by these people who obviously think they're a better person than me because they give a shit and I really couldn't.

Barry Scott fucking likes this. Smug sanctimony is annoying.

I think it's great that Paolo is staying away for a while. He's so clever. He's giving us all time to get to know each other better and do some bonding.

Group hug, anyone?

I read WSC and this article has all the hallmarks of the standard premise to get something published by them.

Usual funny WSC opener with link

It wouldn't be mistaken for a Roman salute, would it? Be a pity to undo all the good work being done on here.

Interesting article for the 00.01% of fans - (c) Nick Watkins - who aren't di Canio sympathisers.
http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/7335/38/

If only 1 in 10000 are anti-di Canio, by latest reckoning our fan-base is threatening Man United's.

Thank you Red Frog for sharing that: my kids have snaffled away this month's copy of WSC, and as another of the 00.01%, I'm always up for a good read which I otherwise might have missed.

I also look forward to seeing the well reasoned responses next month.

I'd like to argue against the statement that the article is well written in so far as it uses some decent punctuation and a healthy dose of intelligent words, but other than that, it would appear to be a rather over simplification of the issue by someone with some issues when it comes to the use those words.

Let us take the section about "cannot possibly compensate for the irreversible damage done to the club's reputation".  In order for such a statement to be used in a way that suggests it is an irrefutable fact it would require some supporting evidence.  As far as I can tell, other than upsetting some people for valid reasons, it has not, thus far, caused anywhere near a level of damage (if any) to the clubs reputation.  Infact, if anything, it has raised or improved the clubs reputation.  Now, some may argue that just suggests the country is full of poorly educated layabouts, but shit happens you know.  If more people like it than dislike it, reputation improved.

I used to like WSC, but it's a pale imitation of what it once was.

I thought the article was bollox - very shallow and with bugger all to back it up in the way of facts.

Or perhaps because you don't rate it makes it a decent footy mag?

WSC is an opinion piece and a number of articles contain mistakes and minority opinions - many of which are challenged in the letters pages. I've subscribed for a number of years and am happy to do so even though I don't agree with all the content. Just like I'm not going to give up my Town End season ticket just because I don't like fascism. I still think it is good that WSC continues to be a voice for certain campaigns - such as remaining anti-Franchise and pro-terracing. All publications have an editorial slant - the key is to understand this and not be blinkered into thinking that everything published is gospel.

There's not much too that article tbf. I like the way the prose reads though, and the fact they hardly cover "the big 4".

A few pages back someone mentioned The Game Podcast on PDC. I've just listened to it and it's moderately interesting. It's Gab Marcotti, who wrote PDC's bio, presenting and mainly talking. Obviously he's a bit bias, and a fucking shit presenter, but he points out a few new things and has spoken to him recently.

One is that PDC twice came top of his group on his coaching badges in Italy. But he does admit that he is a rampant egotist, very intense and very um... arrogant. He goes over the old ground about giving advice to young pros and being a good trainer.

He is earning less now than when he was a pundit. Also Capello really doesn't like him, nutjob is the word used.

He does talk about politics but I'm not re-opening that can of worms because everyone has their own opinions - and if anyone disagrees they get shouted down.

He seems to think that PDC will make a good manager but hints that everything will have to revolve around him - which could sound a bit McMahon. The same with the bit about being very straightfoward.

It is worth a listen but tolerating Marcotti makes it tricky.
