Paolo Di Canio has emerged from the wilderness to launch one of those "scathing" attacks on his former players at Sunderland. Di Canio took aim at the likes of Lee Cattermole and Phil Bardsley for their part in his dismissal at the club and also donned a metaphorical pot in which to stir s*** between Ireland international John O'Shea and Ireland boss Martin O'Neill:
"I don't like people who, when they speak to you, don't look into your eyes," said the 45-year-old Italian who now believes it is his "destiny" to manage West Ham. "He [O'Shea] should say sorry to some of his team-mates for the many times he came into my office to say something unfavourable about them. This is the same person that also came to me when I first took over and said things about [Martin] O'Neill."
Good lord Paolo, do you think he ever said that Roy Keane was a tiny bit intense to play with?
