Palace fan took it in the face. Brighton fan would have turned round and asked Cantona to shove his boot up his

By far the best thing Cantona ever did in football.

That and calling Didier Deschamps a water carrier.

cantonas best moment was when he toold that story about the fishing boat and the sea gulls to the reporter.. Best interview ever!!!

by Hibbz Thu Jan 24, 2013 8:06 pm

Yeah that was good. I've never understood why people claim it made no sense though. Made perfect sense to me.

by mystiroakey Thu Jan 24, 2013 8:09 pm

I think most people just didnt get it first time around..

cantona is my fav ever footballer. His style, his quality, his arrogance, his intellegence, his artiness..

And thats coming from a a palace fan.

The guy is beyond cool!

by Hibbz Thu Jan 24, 2013 8:23 pm

I didn't think he was that great myself. Good player surrounded by some great ones and some pretty weak opposition.

Far too high an opinion of himself as well.

As I said Kung Fu kick was the best thing he ever did.

by mystiroakey Thu Jan 24, 2013 8:54 pm

well you must forget some of his kung fu kicking goals then..

Coolest football ever. well IMNO

a decent view on the incident IMO (surprisingly considering it's the guardian whose coverage of Chelsea usually sees them painted as the devil incarnate). I particularly agree with the sentiment that it's a shame the incident is overshawdowing what was a mightily fine performance by Swansea over the two legs (though I find the press pointing that out somewhat ironic, given the circumstances).

I would therefore like to take this occasion to extent my heartfelt congratulations to Swansea, who thoroughly deserve their place in the final, and wish them well in it.

Apparently the police are now involved. Give me strength. If must break the law everytime I bump in to someone if this is a crime.

What a complete and utter joke.

by Stella Fri Jan 25, 2013 8:42 am

The do gooders have complained.

Officially confirmed that Zaha is having a medical at Manchester United today, then he'll be loaned back to Palace for the rest of the season. Great deal for all parties that.

I believe the police are involved because he has received death threats. While nothing will probably come from them they are right to investigate these threats.

The Welsh police said the complaints came from SURREY AND KENT which meant they 'had' to investigate. Beyond ridiculous.

And as if football couldn't sink any lower into the gutter, Nile Ranger of Newcastle has been arrested on suspicion of r***.

And?

4 footballers are currently in court on similar charges and the accuser has just admitted telling a pack of lies and being full of sh!t.

Maybe true, maybe not. However precedent doesn't favour the girl well.....

by The Special Juan Sat Jan 26, 2013 5:14 pm

I think Giroud gets unfair criticism at times. He's not as bad as a lot of people are saying he is - he's better than Gervinho!!

On another note, good to see QPR getting a hiding. #ArryOut

by GSC Sat Jan 26, 2013 5:15 pm

Girouds a donkey. Andre Santos is beyond useless

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Jan 26, 2013 5:16 pm

I've always said he does TSJ, and I will maintain that he is a good player. His movement is very good.

However how Andre Santos ended up in an Arsenal shirt is beyond me

At least someone agrees with me!! I think he'd get more goals in a team that played more to his strengths.

I can't even say they don't deserve it. They do, and hats off to them.

Just one of those days

there is nothing you can do about cup upsets Olly. It happens to everyone eventually.

Get in Luton.

First non-league side to knock out a top flight side since Sutton - Coventry in 1989.

haha congrats to your boys shah. Been some rough years for you so you deserve today. well done

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Jan 26, 2013 6:54 pm

Fair play Shah you deserved it!

I'm gonna stick my neck out on the line and say we will beat Spurs on Wednesday...

by **ShahenshahG** Sat Jan 26, 2013 7:29 pm

Thanks mate, hard luck on your end. hopefully a sign of things to come!

by The Special Juan Sat Jan 26, 2013 8:02 pm

How can Fulham be so bad (and play so different) away from home? It's ingrained in the club, no matter which manager they have they're always poor away.

by The Special Juan Sun Jan 27, 2013 8:22 pm

Nightmare scenario:

You are 5-1 down at the Nou Camp with 30 minutes left, you are down to 10 men and Messi has 4.

by The Special Juan Sun Jan 27, 2013 8:22 pm

P.S: Puyol is fat.

by The Special Juan Sun Jan 27, 2013 9:38 pm

Huh.

1) I don't remember posting either of the above comments.
2) They don't belong in the PL thread anyway.

Headscratch

by **hampo17** Mon Jan 28, 2013 2:15 pm

Anyone see the Glenn Whelan tackle on Saturday? Should have been a straight red card, however he got away without a yellow, and because Howard Webb has said he saw it the FA can't do anything either.

This type of thing makes the FA look a joke.

by The Special Juan Tue Jan 29, 2013 1:09 pm

Poor Scholes!!

He didnt get a yellow.

Whilst occassionally these things happen it is important the referees aren't undermined, first step to having every decision reviewed and results adjusted etc.

Not even a yellow? Still a poor piece of reffing.

by The Special Juan Tue Jan 29, 2013 2:25 pm

I know it's a typo but it's a funny typo.

"7 goals Fernando Torres scored in this Premier league campaign so far. Not bad. Not nearly good enough though to justify the market value of £31 he still nurtured from the exorbitant transfer fee Chelsea paid for the Spanish striker 2 years ago."

and thats probally to much an all

by JamesLincs Tue Jan 29, 2013 8:42 pm

what game are people watching tonight? im going for villa v newcastle. who would of thought this would be a relegation 6 pointer!

got a feeling itll be another terrible night for villa, but we will see

by Guest Tue Jan 29, 2013 8:52 pm

Sissoko is an absolute unit. Him & Tiote in midfield would be scary. Gutierrez must perform tonight, absolute must win. Still 0-0....nervy.

Further news is that it looks like Trabzonspor forward Paulo Henrique is on his way to Sporting Lisbon, where he could be a replacement for Ricky van Wolfswinkel who could be on his way to Newcastle......interesting.

goal of the month there by cabaye. bye bye villa

by The Special Juan Tue Jan 29, 2013 9:16 pm

I thought Ricky was going to Norwich? He's a strange one; he was linked with Man Utd not that long ago but his career seems to have stagnated. Someone with more interest in the Portugese League than myself will be able to say more about him.

by Guest Tue Jan 29, 2013 9:21 pm

Going to be tough keeping Cabaye this summer in my opinion. Would be perfect for Sir Alex and a perfect replacement for Paul Scholes.

by The Special Juan Tue Jan 29, 2013 9:36 pm

Cabaye's goal was good.

by Ent Tue Jan 29, 2013 9:38 pm

Villa are going down, don't think cabaye fits any top clubs system (in England anyway) so maybe you can hold onto him?
