I almost feel sorry for Wenger. He really doesn’t have other players on that squad that can take a stand and lead the team, when an idiot like gallas is making a mess of things in the locker room. Is anyone surprised by gallas’s actions ? It was only a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if.’
Keane had other natural leader that could step in and handle things (and take his harsh criticism). There is no comparing Keano’s Manchester United to today s arsenal. Similarly, there is no comparing Keane to ga(y)llas. Could you imagine Keane marching to the half way line in the middle of a penalty kick ?
Then again who knows whats going on at Arsenal. Maybe, gallas is confronting the players-and doing it wrong (making little girly fabregas feel bad), when maybe it should be Wenger.

Its what great captains are made of. Keano separates the men from the boys. A cult hero. ROY FUCKIN’ KEANE.

THIS_IS_MANCHESTER you are spot on.

Fergie doesn’t take any bullshit, but if Keano woulda said that a couple of years earlier, would we have gotten rid of him then?

Fergie probably took on Keano’s criticisms quietly, and it got us to where we are today. Just hope he sort Ronaldo and Nani out and we will be even better.

Keano was without duobt one of the most inspirational skippers we have ever had …. could tackle like a fucking lion and hated the fucking gooner gayboys with a fucking vehemence…. to compare Keano with the sulky crybaby gobshite cunt just sacked is a bordering on in-fucking-sanity.
Eh up Failsworth, drop some pain killers and get on with ranting…..lol

Please don’t compare Gallas to Keane. Gallas may be a spectacular twat but at the very least he never attempts to end another fellow professional’s career over a fucking playground argument.

it could just be me but i dont see keanes departure as him leaving under a cloud but rather helping united realise some facts that SAF may have turned a blind eye too. SAF has said he felt the hardest time in his career was when he realised he had to start looking to replace his golden generation of “kids”, while our exit from the UCL group stages may be seen as our major turning point i believe keanes comments had been echoing in SAF ear and it was only after that disappointment he said “i really have to start building a new team” (the main pieces were there rio, rooney and ronaldo), the following transfer window we got evra and vidic, that following summer we got carrick and offloaded some of the troble makers and “lesser” players. well after that the rest is history.

i think thats the difference between gallas and keane, keane said those comments to spur the club on, gallas said his comments to divert any blame that was coming his way due to poor performances. keane had to go after those comments because he was lauching a attack on SAF, and thats not right but i do think SAF had listened to him and well look at us now
