Has lost the fucking plot. ssn just announced cardif have accepted a five million bid from sunderland

He is shit

Erm, who for?

Michael Chopra

Roy keane's class, he's gonna be a managerial legend.

an inflated price no doubt.but keane was a great player and i think he will be a successful manager

Ah reet. He's shit!!

Keane is a legend of modern football.  Any man who can make Alan Shearer shit himself in front of 50,000 Gerodies is alright by my reckoning.

Conversely Alan Shearer is a legend - any man who can wind up Roy Keane so much he swings for him bang in front of the ref is good with me.  CHopra had better be good, an ex-mag goign to Sunderland for a big fee, if he struggles they'll soon jump on him.

At what point does shearer look scared

How many trophies did the geordie legend win?

How many did the nutter that is Keane win??

Keane was great, the football world needs more players like him and less fairies that kick people in the face then black mail the FA into not banning him (Shearer/Lennon incident).

Lets ignore the fact that keane actually ended a players carear though shall we.

Which player would that be? If you mean Haaland, he has since acknowledged (on his own website) that tackle did not bring his career to a premature end. It was the other knee!

ok im going of what keane said in his own biography.keane and shearer were both cunts to be fair but shearer was no near as dirty as keane

We all make mistakes, I'll agree that was an unfortunate episode.

Keane was IMHO the on field personification of Fergie - and as such despisable, and he played for Man Yoo.  How many world cups and Euros did Keane play in? One at most, he walked out on his nation before the World Cup cos the hotel wasn't posh enough/ he thought he knew best.

Trophies mean so much but Shearer made the decision to repeatedly turn Man Utd down and play for his boyhood club - IMHO that desrves great credit - he was living the dream.

Shearer = Ace
Keane = Cunt

FACT

What a load of fucking shit!  Keane did not walk out on his country, imagine turning up to a competition, a competition you're there to win, and there's no training kit, no football's to train with.  You have a players meeting where you all agree to raise your concerns, then at the meeting with your manager none of the players back you up.  What else was he meant to do back down and put up with the third rate preparation.

Mick McCathy and the FAI should hang their heads in shame over that.  Fucking joke.  

Also I think if you see footage of the events of 2002 it was Mick McCarthy who sent Keane home (not 198% certain of this though).

yes, he was sent home. or at least that was the official line.

"you're a shit manager, and you were a shit player. and you've got a big nose". i think that's what he said to mccarthy.

All perfectly valid points

Well done Roy, he only said what most people in Britain and Ireland thought.

Can't take anything away from RK's start to management either.

anyone read keanes book?
i got it for 50p in hard back the other week 8) ,i read it in two days and liked what he had to say.
macarthy was a cock with ireland from what he said,and haaland deffo had it coming to him.the incident with shearer gets mentioned too.
keane had his flaws as a player,but fuck me what a grafter and his standards are high

Definitely my kind of player.  I'd love to see a player like him play for town a total 100% player, who gives a shit about his team.  How anyone can just label him a merely a "cunt" is beyond me.  Each to their own I suppose but Roy keane is one of my favourite top flight players of the last 20 years.

and mine jan.he just has high standards and a temper.thats what makes him unpopular with some people though.

Not for me, I'm sure if he played for my team I'd like him, but he doesn't and I don't - there's plenty of players like him - not as good but with his attitude and demanour - mostly despised except by their own fans.

Roy Keane = SMB Cunt

Alan Shearer could have joined any club in the world and won countless trophies, but he gave it all up to play for his home team the one he supported as a bairn

Alan Shearer is a Newcastle United legend, Roy Keane is an all hype big mouth

hang on,i bet shearer has regrets about his lack of silverware.keane has loads to his name.
like him or not he's won the lot in domestic and euro footy

Anyway.....

I think Chopra is a good player, but certainly not £5m worth and definately not Premiership class. Thoughts?

also, let's not forget that shearer chose to join blackburn instead of manchester united. no hometown romance there, just the lure of lots and lots of money.

deffo a gamble village.but aint every player?

Would that be the year he won the league with blackburn

good championship player, most transfer fees have been over-hyped so the price is not too much of a surprise.

Chop's only NUFC goal was at the Stadium of Shite which prompted wide levels of celebrations from him. Quality

well chopra scored more goals than david nugent did last season, so £5million is a bargain in comparison.

and what did he win after that?

and what did man united win after that?

google might help if you're struggling.

i dont see why this is a shearer vs keane thing.shearer was a top pro in my opinion too.

very good penalty taker. when he hit it, it stayed hit.

Bit more to his game than that!

I can understand Jans lack of affection for the ultimate pro that was Alan Shearer.

He's a jock and therefore bitter and twisted :D

Actually Hertha I never had a problem with Shearer v Scotland to be fair, think he only played against us twice.  

it was more of a personal thing, I do think he's a smarmy thug, who for some reason managed to get away with being a dirty bastard whilst others, like Keane, were villified by all and sundry.

I do agree with the penalty point though, he could take a mean penalty.

Not the question though mate, that season he proved he made the right decision.After that he will be remembered fondly as a legend by all newcastle fans.. If he had joined utd he would of been remembered as that cunt who utd had
