As did Eric all those years ago.
And I was there to witness it.
I believe that Wigan fan last night said something similar to what Matthew Simmons reckoned he said to Eric..
"That's an early exit for you from the English Football Association Cup Mr Aguero"....

Ah yes, “It’s an early bath for you, Mister Cantona!”
I was shouting something similar at old Eric.
It was funny, because I was sitting in my usual seat with my Palace mates, and my United-supporting mates were directly opposite the incident.
After the game we all met up in a pub near the ground, and as we walked in the TV was on, and Des Lynham looked as if the Queen Mother had been murdered.
We genuinely didn’t realise that he was talking about Cantona, because everyone at the ground just thought it was very funny, and we Palace fans admired him for it.

We thought it was funny too, especially when we saw the reaction of the media...
Until of course it dawned on us slowly but surely as the weeks went by that we were going to blow the league that year without him...
Still, just over 12 months later he volleyed a shot through the Spice Boys at Wembley delivering another double against our biggest rivals and all was well with the world again...

Nice one! Would love to do the south and west, and the south-east, basically everywhere on the island.
My dad's pal is from Cork and even after 40 years in Scotland, his accent is still incomprehensible when he's had a few
Haha, agree about the language. Always think Gaelige looks like drunk Gaelic to me e.g na h-Alba looks prettier than na hAlban in my eyes.
Good to hear you are well though.

I thought the whole incident was fucking brilliant, Reg.
Loved Cantona as a player & when I saw the incident, my reaction was 'fair play to you, Eric'
Reg - are you able to shed any light on what was REALLY said to him that made him fly off the handle?

Unofficial merchandise selling on Yorkshire Street in Rochdale Town Centre, an absolute bargain at only £5!
Well it would be a bargain if the ‘Wembley Invasion’ was on 27-2-18 and not 28-2-18!

Will Jose start Pogba today or is he worried about accusations of fielding a weakened team?

Easy win for everyone's 2nd team.
Two home games (hopefully) coming up. Would LOVE to humiliate Leicester in the final.
