Tell us what you really think, Keano.: Roy Keane, captain of Manchester Utd, goes on TV and calls out all his teammates who really don't make the cut. His rant gets banned from the team clubhouse. (Man Utd are going through a bit of a rough spot right now.) The Guardian follows up with Top 10 Keane Rants. Altho the stories are colorful, I can't say I blame the guy (well, except for the rant where he breaks a player's ligaments.)

The funny thing is, I haven't come across a single person who disagrees with what Keane had to say. If anything, people are saying he didn't go far enough with his criticism. With Arsenal also looking a tad out of sorts, this is a fantastic opportunity for the next tier of clubs, led by Spurs to grab second place in the league. Charlton will never get a better opportunity to make the Champions League.

Who said people mellow with age? I'm waiting for him to move into management.

Jeez, it's only been weeks since Keane was talked up as the next Ireland manager, maybe even player/manager, or the sure bet to succeed Sir Alex after next season. Odd how these rants are forgotten, until the next one.

I have Keane's message to Halaand on a t-shirt. Roy's the player you hate when you're up against but wish he was on your team. He's right in calling out these guys, I just wished he would have included van Nistelrooy and Scholes in his rant.
