[mixer]

everybody knows the answer, so best bet is to close it

 

[catalan force]

yeah he's really stupid... don't know a thing

I stick around at Half time just to hear him give his punditry. 15 minutes of full stupidity.. makes you laugh as hell though.

From Xavi vs Scholes to virginity, thats why I love barcaforum.

Fowler was better than Shearer...

bullshit

 

[mateopol]

Time to split it with this http://www.barcaforum.com/showthread.php/6859-Scholes-Vs-Xavi-(Not-a-direct-comparison-thread) thread.

 

[AnfieldEd]

bullshit

It's true.

 

[Raed]

I saw him on the telly in Africa doing punditry. What the hell? Who the hell would listen to a word he says about football?

Isn't he the same guy who works for BBC I think and he goes to matches but on more than one occasion has missed what happened on the field because he wasn't paying attention?

 

[Jenks]

Far cry from concluding that he truly believes he's inferior...

I don't believe anyone suggested that was the case.

 

[Guardian]

this is definitely the case.

I don't know what made things change, maybe it was his near-retirement with an eye problem, or how bad England's midfield got in his absence, I dunno. whatever it was, they have overcompensated BIG TIME since then. I mean he's a fucking rolls royce of a midfielder, but my man jamrock sums it up:

England midfield with Scholes was total shite as well, even with profilic strikers like Owen and Shearer they never achieved anything. Euro 2000 proves my point.

Of course Xavi will praise player who is as tall as him (more precisely as short as him), I don't see any surprise here.

Zidane have said multiple times that Enzo Francescoli is his idol and favourite player. And what?

Gerrard and Lampard have scored more goals for England, even though their generation was inferior. Gerrard has been way more crucial for Liverpool than Scholes for United. They also score more than Xavi, the thing is that no one can control the tempo of the game as Xavi does, they haven't got even 20% of Xavi's talent and vision. Xavi was the brain of Spain's success and behind the amazing Barcelona run. Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard can't do that.

As mush as the United fans whine and cry, no, Xavi has changed the game, and I can put him next to Zidane, Libarski, Gullit and the rest, as for Scholes - he's is as good as Lampard and Gerrard. Nothing more.

-0-0- < they look anything like your Barca spectacles...or are yours more rose tinted?

Just awful comments...you clearly know nothing about football.

If I don't know much about a particular player...I don't comment on him...I wish some of you guys would do the same. But wait, you get your information from Wiki...that must mean you know what you're talking about.

 

[Ode to Django]

I agree with him completely, i don't think "Barca spectacles" has anything to do with it

anyway there's two threads of this going on at the same time

 

[IrvDizzle]

I don't see what the issue is here. obviously Scholes is a better midfielder because Xavi is not a simple midfielder ... He is a system ... a way of life. Barça will have to change the way they play when Xavi decides to replace Pep as Barça's manager.

realtalks though ... I despise this "comparisons" ... and despite what the OP posted when they created this thread, this is a comparison. and it's stupid. Scholes played for a different manager who has a different style in a different league with different rules. how the *bleep* can you compare them?
