Neither delivered on the truly big stage; the real mark of a great player.Silva_Spell said:I didn't like Cantona the person etc but as a footballer he was the player I tried to emulate the most as a kid. Rag or not, the way he played the game was class
Le Tiss was the other
M18CTID said:How they're 4th in the table having played consistently badly throughout the whole season is beyond me. Every team gets a lucky win from time to time but United seem to have turned it into an art form. Not only that, they don't appear to have a discernible style of play whereas every other team in the top 7 does. Even the more rational United fans are scratching their heads in disbelief at how poor they're playing. Maybe the Tactical Turtle will get it right over time but if they don't get top 4 this season you'd have to say his position is under threat given the amount of money they spent in the summer.
I had to laugh at the thread on Rag Cafe about the games this weekend with United fans paying us backhanded compliments by saying "why can't we play football like City?". I don't think any of us could've envisaged it going so badly awry for them in such a short space of time but when you look back, the signs were clearly there that Baconface was papering over the cracks over the last few years of his reign. I doubt they'll disappear off our radar for too long but it's amusing watching all the same.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but should we be looking at him in the summer?
If not, maybe Kenwyne Jones or Andy Carroll
