Tensions seem to be running high.
Crystal Palace supporters are outraged about plans by visiting Manchester United fans to wear Eric Cantona masks at Selhurst Park on Saturday, claiming it mocks the death of one of their own.http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/early-doors/palace-fans-outraged-united-fans-plan-wear-eric-142627815.html
United supporters plan a tribute to Cantona at the ground where he assaulted Palace fan Matthew Simmons with a kung-fu kick in January 1995.
It is not the Cantona kick in isolation that has offended some Palaces diehards, rather the murder of Palace supporter Paul Nixon, who was killed during a fight between both groups of fans outside a Walsall pub when the clubs met in the FA Cup semi-finals at Villa Park three months later.

Don't really agree with the idea of celebrating an assault. I guess as long as you're good at football it's perfectly acceptable.7

Christ it was an assault that ended in no injuries and the supposed aggressor was punished, I think this is very funny.2

I can't stand Cantona but that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
I can't see any connection between the masks and the unfortunate death of the fan though.3 -
Hahaha yeah I know exactly who you mean...it's the teeth and barnet.Absurdistan said:I can see a young jim carey
My personal fav is the bloke next to JC, directly above Cantonas higher hand....a look of indignation if ever there was one.

This has made the "like" button inadequate.
We need a "absolutely love it" button.0 -
