This is somewhat more coherent than when I heard 'goats kill us for sport'
Cantina accepting an award as only he would

I genuinely couldn't love the man any more. What a fecking hero!
A speech so good, he's left Ronaldo looking like his statue.

Zero fecks given by Cantona. He turns up like hes walked off the farm.
I always felt that statue was a dead ringer for him.
Funny how the meaning of cantina in portuguese is cantina
The man could literally walk up there, take a shit on the stage, use messi's tie to wipe his arse and walk off... and we'd all still applaud him...
What a guy!
What a guy!
I fecking love that man. That guys face at the end says it all. “I love football”.The Earl of Gloucester is it? In King Lear. I have a feeling that it’s not coincidental, and that like with the higly meaningful Seagulls, Cantona may well say afterwards that it’s just some spontaneous playfulness.
Gloucester, like his King, is betrayed by the next generation catering to appearances rather than to what’s real. Too late they understand that they’ve been blindly arrogant, and that the one’s who tried to be true to their values, rather than popular amongst the wielders of power, was right.
So why does he quote The Earl in front of the Football Court?

Easily my favourite united player I've ever had the pleasure to watch live.

Some of those people in the crowd looked on in bemusement but I really liked what he said and found it very relevant. Obviously, it doesn't exactly take a genius to understand what he means, but I suppose it makes sense the audience might not appreciate it so much.
Cantona is a very wise man. He is one of my all-time heroes, and he's so right. Science will soon turn humans into immortal beings. I don't know if it will occur in my lifetime tough, or whether I could possibly be one of those who has the option of becoming eternal but with regard to how it would affect football, of course it would affect it tremendously. Imagine Messi or Ronaldo never getting old and staying at the top for decades at a time.
Crazy to think about. I Love Cantona.

What the hell is genius about that. Quoting Shakespeare?
You weren't alone, I heard the same thing.
He is risen.
Everyone relieved when he'd finished. Ronaldo looked like he was watching a YouTube video of a giant cockroach crawling up the leg of an unsuspecting sunbathing pensioner.
Heresy on here to say it because he was the talisman for the club's revival, but the Cantona as dark artsy sports warrior persona makes me cringe. He was an important figure at the biggest club in England at a domestic level but nothing internationally or in European club competition, so some of that audience may see it like I do.
If she's in the mood, probably.
They asked him what was going through his mind, he told them the truth.
Just because you didn't understand him.
Cantina means cellar in Italian
That's what you get for asking him what's on his mind. He's above petty things such as feeling excited over receiving an award - of course his mind wanders. They should have just gone "Don't you love football?"
I love Stir Wars
Reaction of the person sitting next to Nedved was priceless. Also, CR7 would have been thinking what Eric was talking about
The awe
What the fuuk..?
I knew it, I always missplace i and o too.
Plebs sitting and listening. As they should.
Is exactly right.
Ronnie looked to me like he just had a top up to his botox
Bless him.The media response to this.... the seagulls still chasing the trawler
Nothing incoherent about that. Goats will kill us for sport if given half a chance, the little feckers...
That was beautiful by Eric, multitalent
Massively unpopular opinion I know but does anybody else find it a little uneasy that he quit us, and playing football, because he was disillusioned with the commercialisation of the game, and then proceeded to become a brand ambassador for Nike - starring in advert after advert for their products?
Yes he's quoting Shakespeare, theres a good breakdown of the context of his speech, either on the first page on here or on reddit. I didn't understand what he was saying at first but when I read the breakdown, the speech from Cantina couldn't have been better.
Makes a change from the standard "ah wanna fank ma tim m8s, ma famlee an de fans..." bollocks that 99% of players vomit out.
