It’s the Paolo Di Canio celebration that’s been sweeping the nation! Has the newly installed Sunderland manager’s celebratory knee slide during the 3-0 win at Newcastle United made amends for the fact that he’s a total fascist, even though he was forced into saying he isn’t?

Football Burp saw what footballers on Twitter had to say about it, as we do with every breaking event from around the globe, football-related or otherwise, twenty-four hours a day – and they seemed to be into it…

Great finish. Di Canio’s celebration was better than the goal scorers. Great to see a manager with that passion even if it is 5under1and one

Script was written for Di Canio. How can a a manager with that passion not inspire his players. Newcastle’s season unraveling…

Di Canio what a man, not enough Characters like him in the game. Sunderland deserved that should have had a pen. Good game so far.
