FSW is not that bad of a manager....

Nobody is saying the Unions were perfect, but they were hell of a lot better than MacGregor's shit.

I am very sorry to hear that Kojo. I directly blame Thatcher for the sackings. She put in a guy who came from a very feudalistic approach and he totally changed the environment at work. The lads who kept their job were worked into the ground because they were understaffed, and if they wanted to complain they were threatened with termination. The union busting of NUM practically ended any power the workers had. They were slaves at this point. Not only that, but Thatcher's government also had power in shaming people who could not find work. They actually tried to vilify the unemployed former mine workers. They had us believing they were lazy and wanted handouts, and when that stopped working they tried to get us to turn our animosity on immigrants getting services.The people who took your job, and were trying to take your benefits, were trying to turn the blame on the most vulnerable of societies just because they couldnt take the heat. I HATED her.......God knows I did. A lot of people got hurt by class and ethnic tensions she whipped up to serve her own interests. I saw some terrible things as kids, and looking back I know her government was complicit in a lot of it. A kid going to school beating up Asians because the government has fed him lies that its their fault why Thatcher wants to get rid of his parents benefits. Generations upon generations of hatred a kid wouldnt have to suffer if the government had just told the truth. Be honest Maggie! It wasnt the immigrants fault you cared more about the big business than the working class. It wasnt the homosexuals fault the country was moving away from your morals at school. She didnt even want us to fucking read Jenny lives with Eric and Martin! Do you know how benign that book was? Do you know what good could have came about if this false outrage wasnt created to take peoples mind off the fact that everything their parents had set up to create for them in a society was being undermined by a woman with personal vendettas against people? How did a woman with everything have such hatred for people? I'll never understand it. I really do hope they try and do a minute of silence at the Sunderland-toon match I hope they scream so loud during it that it shakes even her very soul in Hell.

A patriot supports and loves their country. A person who loves their country does not put the lives of thousands of their compatriots in the hands of a sack merchant. A person who loves their country does not set out to destroy unions which seek to get the best for their compatriots. They do not send the police on them, they do not patronize them with speeches and half-hearted public appearances. Thatcher never gave a damn about this country outside of her posh little circle. The only people she truly cared about was old maggie and what big businesses and her little Boyfriend Ronnie could do for her.

The truth of the matter is, never in society has there been a lady with such hatred of the Working class than Thatcher. She HATED them, no lie at all. Even before the Mines, and even before the milk. I dont know what happened in her past. Maybe a working class lad broke the old witch's heart, but something had to have happened. She wanted them to suffer, and she definitely wanted to kill NUM. She wanted to crush their communities, and silence their voices. She took great pleasure in this. Make no mistake about it she was a hateful old woman, but the working class had a special part of the hate in her heart. With old Maggie you had to acknowledge levels of her hatred. Sure, she disliked democracy, blacks, immigrants,Asians, and refugees but then you had her hatreds. She hated Homosexuals,modern civilization,and working class people.

It was typical Thatcherism. She put that slimeball Macgregor in charge of the mines when he was terrible at management. All he did, to save money, was cut tons of job and work the scared remaining people to death under fear of termination. Slave labor and fear. Thatchers Utopian society.

Hateful vile woman who made the 80s just a tad bit worse than it already was. From section 28 to us apartheid protesters in London being in "koo koo land" by thinking Mandela and the ANC would ever defeat hate all the way to her support of that despot Pinochet. History has shown her to be the sick disgrace even us kids knew back then....and that is good enough. I am pleased to say dear friends; This lady's not returning

The fuck this torres come from. Welcome back lad

Oh fuck!

They send every foreigner in sao paulo there to get ripped off on their inflated prices

Jesus! Knowing Brazil prices I'm sure that has cost you a small fortune. You buy from Santa Ifigenia?

Is that a stereo under it?

We really needed him to finish that chance against arsenal.....its forgiven since he has a lot on his mind right now though with his dad's problems. Should have probably started.

It is true, and I would never support a government which would tell a citizen what they can or cannot believe. Sunderland, as a business and organization, should know better though.

ummmm wut?

Ramires has made some terrible passes.

Basel 2 up!!

Moses parted the red sea!!

TORRESSSSSS

Mata brilliance

Benayoun seeing plenty of the ball early.....

One of the basic tenants of Italian Fascism is the taking away of rights. What you basically stated in this post was that: "Nothing is wrong with what Di Canio believes, as long as it doesnt happen." It is simply a sickening ideology.

Not believing in multiculturalism, or even being a conservative, is a much bigger difference than supporting Italian Fascism I do see your point though.

Saying a guy who has tattoos honoring a racist, and who has racially abused a player before, isnt fit to manage a club isnt the same as saying he isnt fit for employment at all. Its the same as stopping a blind man from being a chauffeur. Di Canio is obviously a person who shouldnt be managing a bunch of individuals from diverse backgrounds given his beliefs. No one would complain if he was picking up rubbish, or working in an office somewhere in a homogeneous environment.

He racially abused one of his players at Swindon, of which he apologized again for just this week. http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/di-canio-apologised-to-ex-swindon-town-star-after-racist-comment-complaint-1-5548744 This guy is such a bellend he even has a tattoo in honor of one of the savages who passed some of the most racist laws in Italian history under the "manifesto della razza". He isnt fit to manage a club.
