I can confirm that Keane is an absolute furburger.

My one criticism of PV4 during his time with us, was that he didn't chin Kane in the highbury tunnel on that infamous night He was considerably taller and stronger than the c*nt but he came out of that incident looking like he was afraid of keane and that is something that the manure fans around here never tire of telling me
Augie again confusing height with strength and ability!
As much as I hate Keane, and I fucking hate him (Culchie that played for Manure = pure hatred from me ) he had Vieira in his hand like a bitch that night. Acting the hard man on a pitch where there is a ref and other players to "hold" you back is one thing. Actually fronting it up to a proper hard bastard like Keane is something else entirely. And believe me Keane was proper hard. Keane would have put Vieira's lights out with one slap. Hate admitting it, but it is fact. I was embarrassed by Vieira acting the man with Spiv Neville and then cowering like a fucking bitch when Keane fronted up.
Wrong!!
Keane comfirming what I always knew:
”If it had come to a fight, Patrick could probably have killed me.”
He made Petit, Gilberto, Grimandi, Edu etc look great because they were beside him. Best midfielder to grace the premiership by a million miles. When Chelsea played with their 3 - HE still bossed the middle with the likes of the average Grimandi beside him. When Gerrard was pushed out wide so he didn't have to meet the V-MAN. Always had tinker Keane in his pocket (95%) of time. Fuck me someone was talking about legends but for me without him what would we have won? What have we won since he left?

Exactly.
Agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments, Vieira is one of the all time great midfielders, let alone the Premier League's.

The whole flicking the ball over his head and just turning and ALWAYS getting it. Who the fuck does that like
LEGEND
Remember watching his debut (on TV) against Sheffield Wednesday and thinking he is raw but shit hot.
Loved his song They don't write them like they used to. (Fred the Reds song was a topper too. Can't take my eyes off u was on radio today)
Vieira is one of the top three midfielders in the Premier League era..him, Keane and Yaya Toure are head and shoulders above the rest.
This week in Ireland we are getting Keano for breakfast, dinner and tea.. It is nauseating at this point. The man is an egomaniac , control freak and an utter .... Yes having high standards is admirable but believing you and only you can match your own standards brings arrogance to a new level.
Everything about him is about him , the beard , now gone (and that made the News), is about him. Self promotion all the time I'm sure more qualified people could read his mind and come up with a Heatcliffe type persona from Wuthering Heights or such things. To me he is another Bono , love me or hate me but please don't ignore me, I thrive on publicity.
Vieira is an Arsenal legend. Hate to see him involved with City. One of our greatest ever.

Disappointing he shaved the beard off though....not enough of them in football these days
Yes, personally, I've grown to quite like Keane the character (don't judge me, ), and as a player you can only respect his ability and will to win - although he did have that pernicious streak in him...

But yet he loved ferguscum in all but the last few months there He admitted that ferguscum wanted him to opt out of international games when he was at his peak playing for manure.....why didnt he admit that at the time or at least why didnt he stand up to ferguscum over it ? There is a lot made of his treachery to his country (and rightly so) but it ignores the amount of games he withdrew from playing even before that
Secondly if he was from iraq or iran, and had of walked out on them like he did in saipan, then he would have been brown bread dead long ago.....seems an apt punishment to me
Keane is a scumbag and a coward - his second book, just like his first, is being used as a way of getting cheap shots at those that dared to oppose the judas c.unt to this point in his life. I'm not a big fan of international football but he should never have been let back into the country, much less be allowed to play and now be assistant manager
