           <description><![CDATA[
  GIVEN that it came 24 hours after Millwall supporters disgraced themselves by fighting each other at Wembley, it was inevitable that the disorder that followed Sunday's Tyne-Wear derby would be lumped into a general debate about the return of football hooliganism.

           <title>Why Paolo Di Canio might be just the man to turn Sunderland around</title>

           <description><![CDATA[
  AMID all the furore that has surrounded Paolo Di Canio's appointment as Sunderland manager, one issue has been somewhat overlooked.
