Now that Spitting Image is back I’d love them to have a Roy Keane puppet. Just let him really lay into someone every week.

‘Greta Thunberg, what has she ever won? Crying like a little girl, needs a kick up the arse, haven’t heard so much moaning since Diego Forlan lost his hairbrush. Hasn’t even won the Premiership. Come back to me when you have something to show for all your moaning, the pocket money these kids are on now is ridiculous, they haven’t earned it at all’

‘Boris Johnson, Prime Minister? Are you having me on, like? What’s he ever won? Leadership race for the Tories? Every dog has his day, like. Even David Moyes got a top job before they put him out on his arse. Hasn’t won a vote in Parliament. Gary Neville got at least one win in Spain and he was absolute dog shite!’

‘The Yanks elected Donald Trump for heavens sake. The state of him. I haven’t seen that much orange Stateside since we played the Dutch in the World Cup in 94’

Dougal :ROFLMAO: , you've found your vocation in life, to be a writer on spitting image (as long as they buy your Roy Keane idea) I think you should get in touch with them, the snippets you've shared are comedy gold

Spoke really well about his time at Man U at the end of the programme last night.

He said he was lucky to get where he did in the game. Said he had a ridiculous amount of luck. But I think he meant being in the right place at the right time. Said he could only do three things and he made a career out of it. Control the ball, pass and run. Then went on to say you’d be surprised at the amount of professional footballers who can’t do those things!

Imagine if we’d of signed someone like him in the 90s.

Had no idea about this. I absolutely loved that show.

He’s clearly a bit of an arsehole, but what a leader. Just demands the highest standards from all his teammates and let’s them know on and off the pitch.

We could certainly do with someone like that in the team. Rather than just shrugging our collective shoulders as we make another brainless error or lazy five minutes to let the other team back in the match.

He said he'd like to get back in the game and have another go at managing but that he'd be well down on the list for a number of jobs. I guess it's for this reason. I cant imagine him not rubbing people up the wrong way if things weren't going as he wanted.

I'd love him to go down to S****horpe and give that lot a good boot up the backside. Not the first time one of Clough's boys had slummed it in North Lincolnshire and succeeded.

Strong personality but a total thug and thick. He ends a guys career out of revenge for hurting himself tackling the same guy a while before and then has the stupidity to publish in his book that he intended to hurt him badly. Of course the law suit starts and Keane backtracks and swears it was an accident.

Guy is a joke and a thug.

There's absolutely revisionism over Keane, mostly because he's good value in the studio. But he was the biggest **** of big ****s in football.

Maybe he gets some leeway with Spurs fans for the number of times he got tore into Viera.

I remember him stamping on Dean Marney's head on purpose too. Absolute **** of a player and man.

He was probably one of the last real hard nuts in football and the rule changes and interpretations made that side of the game redundant anyway. Every team had to have a hard bastard (apart from Leeds Utd who had 11 of them in the 70s).

He was a thug but he didn't end Haalands career. In fact he played the week after and it was his other knee that packed up
