Cantona is a legend. I find it more annoying that they sponsor players like Cronaldo tbh.

haha you really got a hate-on for C.Ronaldo, don't ya!? Well, regardless of what you think of him on the field, Ronaldo does a huge amout of charity contributions for children in poor countries, and uses his fame for raising funds for those types of organizations. He's not the evil prick you seem to beleive he is..

Talk about beating a dead horse. How much people has complained about this now? That might of been a dark period in Cantona's career, but his best moments far outweigh that one moment, therefore you have no case.

And ShearerM4, I dont see your problem with Ronaldo. Sure he whines alot when he's fouled in matches, but he's eliminated the diving comepletely, he only goes down when he's genuinely fouled, and he's improved his game immensely, cut him some slack man.

... okay, talk about red tinted specks.

I will say that about VanNiss though. He, for one has cleabed up his acted imensily since he first arrived in the EPL. I have a lot of respect for him now, a brilliant striker. WOuld be good to see others follow suit. *coughRobbenDrogbaCronaldo....cough*

Ok then, show me one situation where Ronaldo went down without either being tripped, shoved, barged, and generally brought down by any means necessary...in the past few games.

I'm not the one blinded by 'glasses' buddy, it's you and the English public in general that are blinded. Because of his reputation when he first came to England, he's now a scapegoat, so whether he's fouled or not, the fans target him anyway. Who cares though, if you want to waste your energy hating on players, go right ahead.

I fail to see what cantonas super kick makes him a hypocrite for talking about playing beautiful football? He is saying stop diving, playacting, time wasting, none of which he did, and to play real football and beautiful entertaining football. So whats wrong with him saying it? I think that his acts were entertaining, to say the least (H)

I wouldn't say that Ronaldo has completely it completely from his game, he still goes down easily on occasion, but he doesn't do it any more or more notably than most wingers and strikers do in the Premiership. As of late, he has been in excellent form, so he hasn't really had the need to dive or go down because he is finishing his chances and cleanly beating his men at will. It will be interesting to see how his behavior is when he comes down off this hot streak, because sadly, it won't last forever.


And I don't believe that Cantona is hypocritical for doing this. He entertained on the field, he was a brilliant player regardless of what team you supported.

I didn't say anything about his acts not being entertaining :p that part where he goes "look at this cheaters!" and they show a dirty tackle straight off the bat... meh, I just thought it was funny, some of you need to lighten up with your "it was just one kick! stop using it against him!" :rolleyes:

What the hell's going on here? ShearerM4 says he doesn't like C.Ronaldo and all of a sudden you all jump on his case? I thought this was a forum where people could voice their opinions. There are always going to be people who don't like certain players, it's just how it is. Geez.

Eh, you're talking as if the EPL was some sort of purification shrine for divers or a rehab clinic. It ******* ain't. Last wednesday I saw one dude diving blatantly, and it was Peter Crouch. I also see it a lot on EPL games, from both english and foreign players.

Players like Ronaldo, Drogba, Robben, etc. have a more speed/dribbling/1-on-1 style so they are bound to get more harsh contacts and fouled more often than, lets say, Lampard. I don't like it, but doesn't surprise me to see them trying to take advantage of a defender who usually resorts to crushing bones to stop them...

Stop diving, playacting, time wasting... Aren't all those things generally a part of what we call 'FAIR PLAY'? Doesn't Cantona talk about the beauty of the game? That pic rony31 posted is one of the worse moments of the past decade in what fair-play and beauty of the game is concerned.


Having said that, I think the tv spots are a good idea, but they should consider getting someone else to cast their lead roles.

diving and faking injuries is fair play? and f*ck you guys, cantona is king.
 

Help?

What's the big deal about this picture? The guy is a racist and got what he deserved, i believe that he is even banned from all stadiums now at all after another bad incident. If any of us were in Cantona's shoes at that moment, we would have probably done the same.

Eric had a justified reason for his action.

I like Cantona too, but you guys are just biased. Justified reason!? Give me a break. And I believe the FA gave him a medal for it, didn't they?
So what if the guy Cantona hit was a moron? You're getting paid big time, so just ignore him and behave decently. It's not a bar you're at, it's a football match.
Besides, if we hit all morons that go to football matches Newcastle would always play to empty crowds...

Sorry about the joke, just wanted to piss ShearerM4. :(
