eric cantona ... superhero

[joggerjayne]

Okay, let's try a new thread.

Eric Cantona ... on the "terraces" at Brighton, we sing rude, and jolly, songs about Crystal Palace fans.

Eg ... to the tune of "Nick Nack Paddywack" ...

P - A - L - A - C - E
Stevie Coppell's got VD
With a nick nack paddywack, give a dog a bone
Crystal Palace fcuk off home.

Aaah, the peotic majesty of the football chant

(and obviously a bit out of date, since Steve Coppell went to Reading)

But I digress ...

As I was saying, we sing rude songs about Palace fans.

But Eric Cantona ...

A Palace fan gives him a bit of lip ... and

WHACK !!!

Over the railings ... Kung Fu kicks him !!!!!!!

Now that's stylish

(and, obviously, a good way to deal with Palace fans).

So ... Eric Cantona is my nomination for

Superhero !!!!!!!

[urban-legend]

[TROUTEATER]

Prudentia you only gave Eric 4 stars Eric should always be given 5 *****

[No,Knowledge]

[dot.haukes]

[urban-legend]

worse thahn that noknow

ever heard his sh�t p�ems?��

[devilspawn]

JJ - dot may have meant "have you missed a link in the evolutionary chain?"

But hey - a bit on Cantona..... if he manages to put a sentence together in French... va va vooom!

PS boys - us women REALLY DONT CARE ABOUT FOOTBALL... and we do know what the offside rule is, but we pretend we dont so you can feel superior on a sat afternoon!

[Barmaid]

Hate to disagree Jayne, but I thought it was shocking behaviour irrespective of the provocation.

[joggerjayne]

Oh, no, Dot ... it was a while back.

Ooh, look ... the BBC article says that Eric

"aimed both feet" at the Palace fan's chest.

Looking at the still picture ... I don't think so !!!

But, well, that's Palace fans for you ... bunch of riffs.

[TROUTEATER]

No,Knowledge you think it is ok for football scum to shout racial abuse to football players then

[joggerjayne]

But, Barmaid ... it was a Crystal Palace fan !!!



Love,

[zig.zag]

he wouldn't have been able to jump the railings if he didn't have frogs legs

wot a wozzak

[Barmaid]

lol Jayne, OK, I see the humour.

Trouteater, I agree with NoKnow, so that question could just so easily be aimed at me. My view is that racial abuse anywhere is unacceptable, but the answer is not violence.

[No,Knowledge]

no i don't

why would you think that?
