Happy St Eric's Day

Having been charged with assault, Cantona told Croydon crown court that, as he walked along the touchline, he had heard Simmons insulting his mother in the crudest way. Simmons is adamant that Cantona lied. 'For God's sake you can't say a worse thing about anyone [than what he alleges I said], can you? What he did in saying that was totally unjustified. The man is filth. How can he accuse me of saying such a thing? Where has this allegation against me come from? From him. It ruined my life. And that is why it is inexcusable.'


Poor little poppet.

Simmons's lawyer maintained at the hearing that he'd shouted "off, off Cantona, it's an early bath for you"

Can understand why the smelly French bastard @#%&!ted him

Imagine it happened now 15 different camera angles, lip reading of Simmons to tell us exactly what was said and super-high def slow mo of Eric justifiably @#%&!ting him

Love him

Disgusted with Eric after that incident. Totally let down his fans and himself.

Didn't take the opportunity to kick the cockney @#%&!'s head clean off his shoulders. Disgrace.

still the worst sending off i've ever seen. it came a few days after he got sent off/or returned from the stamp at swindon, and the ref totally got caught up in all the hype.

Yeah, Mortal Kombat II was in its pomp then; Eric's lack of fatality was somewhat underwhelming.

Forgot about that incident and the subsequent red card against Arsenal.

John Moncur acting as if Eric has jjsu stabbed him ffs. Man up and get up.

yep. off you go for a shower. that's clearly what got Nursey from Black Adder so amused.
