Cantona was good, the best ? almost certainly not
Carragher is a good defender, the best ? probably not
I would imagine few neutrals would agree fully with your opinions

Barton and Carragher types? WTF is that meant to mean? Carragher's nothing like Barton.
Give it a rest
Throwing a coin back into a section of fans back in 2002, so you would think he would learn to ignore fans.
Wha a load of dribble, if you seriously think Cantona is the best player to grace the Prem, you need to get the blinkers off.

Even so, to compare him to Barton with the track record he has? I think that's extremely harsh.
The Sun hates everything to do with Liverpool. If it was a player from any other club I very much doubt it would've made front page news.

good on him. Fans need to learn their actions are not without repurcussions and players are human as well. If you give it then you should be prepared to take it.
Granted it is not the best role model to put across to young players but in that situation I reckon most players would have reacted in a similar manner.

There is an article in the Times where there are quotes from Luton fans defending Carra, saying how they had to go over to the box with the yobs in and confront them.

Even as a Man Utd fan I can say Carragher is a good player who's passionate about his club and wants them to win every game. It's no wonder he was aggreviated by the Luton fans - It was their cup final and created a tense atmosphere for every Liverpool player.
Can't believe that some people would ignore that type of thing, must be the same types that would go and tell a teacher when at school rather than stand up for themselves. Anyway, he never over stepped the mark as he never actually struck anyone, he just gave a piece of his mind so to speak.
I may have misinterpreted but i am under the impression that 1 or 2 earlier posts were questioning the difference between this incident and the infamous Cantona one? I feel that my previous remark distinguishes that. For what it is worth, my opinion is that Cantona was the best player ever to play in the premiership and i was damn jealous that he played for UTD.

He was reacting to abuse from the crowd not inciting the crowd.
Like Youstolemyname says footballers are human too and i'd bet that 99% of people here would have reacted in atleast the same way to having beer thrown at them and being spat at regardless of the verbal abuse he was getting.
