Pundits line up to slate Cantona

Pundits have slammed Eric Cantona's "blatant theatrics" after his appearance in Paris this week.

Alan Hansen said: "It was unbelievable. He was throwing himself around everywhere as if he was on a stage, In fact, I think he might actually have been on one!

Colleague Lee Dixon chimed: "It was absolutely ridiculous. Ten out ten for artistic impression if you know what I mean.But really I have seen better acting in a theatre. In fact, I think I might be in one."

Meanwhile Andy Townsend: "This is a new low for football. Conning the audience into believing that Eric Cantona is an actor is unacceptable."

And Alan Shearer added: "I like onions."
