I agree with your overall point, although we are better off this season in the champions league and that’s largely down to Ronaldo. He seems to thrive in those games in particular.No I’m not. You’ve got it all backwards lad. I’m not saying we would have won those games. I’m saying those two games in particular are terrible examples to suggest, as many have done, that we needed him…given the simple fact that we were winning without him and went on to lose so worse with him. And I don’t think he improved us when he came on, while obviously you do so we’ll just have to disagree there.
I don’t know where you stand but some people seem to think we need to start him in every game. I don’t. As I said before, we’re no better off than we were this time last year for having him here. His numbers are ok, while other players are worse. And our results and are at best as good as this time last year.
It means that Keane was a great player, and as a pundit constantly pushes out of touch, ‘hardline Dad’ opinions that mainly are just guff and bare no relevance over the current reality of football - often contradicting himself in the process.What the feck does that even mean?
he said the same about Cantona in fairness in the past. Like any rule there are exceptions. When you have truly special players you sometimes have to make those exceptions, he did when he captained teams with both players in it, as did Fergie who picked the teams. Keane has many faults but I wouldn't be too hard on him on this one.It means that Keane was a great player, and as a pundit constantly pushes out of touch, ‘hardline Dad’ opinions that mainly are just guff and bare no relevance over the current reality of football - often contradicting himself in the process.
Ole’s United lose - ‘Football’s a team game, everyone must work hard’.
New Utd draw against top of league Chelsea - ‘It doesn’t matter if Ronaldo doesn’t work hard, you play him’.
And so on.
Was he the Captain when Cantona was here? I thought Eric was the Captain and Keane took over after Eric left?he said the same about Cantona in fairness in the past.

yes your right, but point remains, Keane still played in a team that accomodated Eric's lack of workrateWas he the Captain when Cantona was here? I thought Eric was the Captain and Keane took over after Eric left?
Football’s changed since then, a lot.yes your right, but point remains, Keane still played in a team that accomodated Eric's lack of workrate
He's gone soft.
"She's a wonderful woman but sure that's her job."I love his Instagram.
The idea that Eric didn’t work is nonsense. He tackled. He bullied centre halves. He ran channels. He defended corners.yes your right, but point remains, Keane still played in a team that accomodated Eric's lack of workrate
the one thing he wasn't, was a luxury, the amount of goals in big games he scored, automatically dispells that nonsense. Eric wasn't a workhorse, didn't need to be, he was their for his goals and creativity and the team accomodated his lack of workrate. Did he tackle, of course he did, be hard not to at any time on the pitch, but he wasn't a workhorse in the mold of a Tevez or Rooney. I'm not knocking him, massive Cantona fan, but like Ronaldo in his first spell, we factored in their lack of tracking back etc to benefit from their skill.The idea that Eric didn’t work is nonsense. He tackled. He bullied centre halves. He ran channels. He defended corners.
He had a demeanour that suggested he was a luxury but he didn’t swan around. He was indulged for his eccentricity. But he trained hard. He played hard. People conflate lots of things with him.
GeniusI love his Instagram.

First of all the guy is no kid. He's taller, he seems heavier and he's younger then Roy is. Secondly you don't know what type of upbringing and training that guy has and if he's surrounded by his mates. Finally Roy Keane is 50 years old. He was a professional player and had trained boxing which is a plus however he had his fair share of injuries as well. Evander Holyfield was probably the best boxer of his generation and he got toyed with lately in a professional exhibition.He's gone soft.
Old Roy Keane would have booted that little kid in the face and then punched everyone on his way through the crowd
Fecking hell. Sharpe, Kanchelskis. In an era where we dont have wingers or the ones we have are shite
that laugh!
If he gets the job, what are the odds on him kung fu kicking the tactics board at half time in his first game?Tweet
