Anderson is top and will only get better, but to give him a nod over Scholesy is fucking stupid. Afterall Paul Scholes is the most intelligent player i've ever seen in the English game. If you disagree with me just ask Sir Bobby Charlton, which is the ONLY player in the current squad who epitomises what Manchester United is all about... And if you still tend to disagree with me, then just ask who really is Paul Scholes to people like Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Peter Schmeichel, Roy Keane, Laurent Blanc, Raul, Edgar Davids, Marcelo Lippi, Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas, Luis Garcia, Xabi Alonso, and you lot already forgot what our captain Rio Ferdinand said when asked who is the BEST player at Manchester United, and he's answer was " For me there's no one better than Scholes, he's the BEST " I guess all you muppets were on a high when Rio, our captain claimed that. Some cats just dont understand... Jeez. I love you Paul Scholes, YOU GINGER LEGEND Whoever is giving preference to Anderson over Scholesy, is a fucking punk, dont really know much about footy.

Giggs is clearly only a shadow of his former self and, in my opinion, SAF should reconsider playing Scholes as a midfield anchor. Paul Scholes has lots to offer as the "last twenty minute substitute with a nose for goal" - kinda like SuperPippo Inzaghi for ACMilan. Agreed – time waits for no one.

Plus, playing him in as the midfield anchor role reduces his great qualities (run-timing, heding, volleying, and overall attacking nous) at the expense of slowing down the game and bringing in his own particular kind of defensive vulnerability. He's slowed down as age and injuries have taken a toll so Scholes is simply not the player he was earlier in the decade when he WAS a genius. He's not at that level now. That's been said by a number of others and while we are all entitled to an opinion on this matter, it does nothing to your credit to call these others "bloody idiots". One of the great joys of this message-board has been the high level of discussion and the lack of name-calling, so, let's try to maintain a level of respect for each other.

Thu, 28 Feb 2008 14:51:29 +0000 http://therepublikofmancunia.com/anderson-is-no-paul-scholes/#comment-3517 After speaking to many reds it seems to be a case of the king is dead long live the king. Anderson has personally been my player of the season - not to ignore Ronnie, Wayne, Paddy, Rio and Vida and recently Carrick who i'm sure reds will agree has been outstanding lately- and i have to admit i'm delighted when i find he's starting in any game in any competition. However, i feel the way some reds have wrote of the ginger ninger to be a little distasteful. I'm regularly infromed by the guy who sits in front of me that scholes is "finished" and although i agree that there is no room for sentiment in football, i find this opinion a bit harsh on many levels. Yes his performances on coming back from injury have been sporadic. But surely this is more to do with a lack of match sharpness, rather than any real deterioration in his ability or physical attributes. I'm a bit more concerned about Hargreaves who i defended on this site a month a go. His performance in lyon and at spurs were pretty pure and seemed to highlight inadequacies in technical ability. Obviously this cannot be explained by his recurrent injury problems. This is a player as one-footed as Giggsy. Granted he breaks up play but is distribution and first touch are, on the evidence of the previous month, average at best.
