Watch this, god I'll miss him....and most of this video was recorded when he was 33-34. Just imagine him at 26-29....he was majestic.
Christ, when you see those names....Maradonna, Xavi, Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Guardiola, Bobby Charlton, Messi, Davids, Henry, Mourinho, Pele, Zidane, Keane
Aye. I think he just didn't whore himself out to the media, he didn't have any advertising deals from what I can recall...in fact he didn't even have an agent. God I'll miss him, watching Scholes dominate teams was one of the greatest sights I've seen in football.
Pep was a huge admirer he...
Because the football media is populated by morons mostly, who think cracking in a 30 yarder is more important an asset than a footballing brain, controlling the tempo and creativity. The latter is something Gerrard and Lampard lack and they were the players whose hype forced Scholes to play on...
I originally came on here to say this....
I have the upmost and thorough respect for this Barca team and they are worthy of their accocolades. I can't put in words what it feels like to lose two consecutive finals... prior to 2009 I didn't know the feeling of it, and I've followed United since...
I know it's a Barcelona but there is still room for some dignity and humility. I'm not going to deny Barcelona were the better team they are a phenomenal side. But this "Oh I hope we tonk them" is hardly respectful.
I know this forum is full of bandwagoning yanks and rival fans but you should still show respect to the opposition team. I read this forum prior to this match and the bollocks that was touted of "5-0" "5-1" doesn't do you or your team any favours what so ever. Barcelona are greatest team I've...
Spain: F.C. Barcelona, Admiration for Real Madrid's history, despise their current set up.
Ireland: Cork City FORAS
Scotland: Celtic
England: Manchester United F.C.
Italy: Palermo
Serbia: Partizan Belgrade
France: Lyon
I think the more worrying aspect was how off form the 3 central midfielders were. When Scholes can't dictate the play United usually had a problem. And Park is back to his usual "fall over and give away the ball" trick like he did against you guys in Rome. Had it not been for Van Der Sar and a...
Yes because potentially serious injuries are hillarious. I don't think there would be much laughter on here if Lionel Messi broke his leg. Not that I care particularly, if you guys are truly the best in Europe then Rooney and United shouldn't be an issue.
