Man Utd legend Cantona: I would have clobbered Henry!

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona would have clobbered Thierry Henry if he had been on the Republic of Ireland side on Wednesday night.

The former France and Manchester United star told The Sun: "What shocks me the most quite frankly, is not the hand-ball.

"What shocks me the most is that this player, at the end of the game, in front of the TV cameras, went to sit down next to an Ireland player to comfort him - when he had just screwed him."

Cantona could not believe Henry chose to sit and chat with Republic of Ireland defender Richard Dunne after his handball set up William Gallas for the goal which ended Ireland's World Cup dream in Paris.

Cantona, infamous for his kung-***** kick at a fan, added: "If I had been an Irishman, he wouldn't have lasted three seconds."

Agger if you leave - I know this dude. He was molested by his father, his mother is known to work the red light district, his brother has been in the slammer a few times. Agger is quite a loser.
