Sven-Goran Eriksson, Steve McClaren and now Fabio Capello have all asked Paul Scholes to reconsider his decision to retire from International football and all managers have been told the same thing.
Scholes has been on the pitch when the Wembley crowd sung chants of “stand up if you hate Man U”, and he has been played out of position on the left to accommodate two inferior player in Lampard and Gerrard, so it should come as no surprise that he packed it in well before necessary, however, the reason it all keeps coming back to is his desire to stay at home with his wife and kids.
“I like being at home. There was an awful lot of time away from home and my family and for me there’s nowhere better than Manchester.”
Capello has today confirmed that he asked Scholes to be a part of the squad but our midfielder declined.
“He said no, he preferred to stay with the family. But I tried, yes.”
UNITED > England
Man Utd News 24/7

UNITED > INGERLUUND
Good on ya Scholesy rest up and enjoy your holiday– it’s well deserved.
Am i the only one who thinks players like stevie me and terry are made for england and england does not deserve players like rio and rooney?
Delighted with scholesys decision.hope he gets some rest and comes back fresh next season.still a class act
Cemented his status as a legend. Enjoy your summer Scholesy.
Legend! He’ll be fresh for next season, hopefully a few more goals from him!!
Fuck England.
Just kidding.
Happy Holidays, Scholesy!
united v england who always win united do scholes is the the man i hate england i am going for portgual viva roanldo come on nani
Well played, Son! Good on ya. MAke sure your 100% ready for number 19.
SB
It’s a no brainer really, of course he would want Scholesy, especially now the thugs form has dipped big time.
the most underrated world class midfielder: Paul Scholes.
He knows only SAF rates him highly enough, so those who don’t, do not deserve his one drop of sweat.
All I can say is, thanks Sven you stupid cunt, playing the ginger genius out of position to accommodate those pair of useless pricks who are not fit to lace his boots. It means that he can continue to dedicate his time to the two things that really matter to him and us, playing for United and spending time with his family – two invaluable moments in life. Let’s hope Stevie Me attacks opposing players in the same way he did to that Hull supporter on the last day of the season. With the exception of the United players, that England team is littered with total cunts who I have absolutely no time for. United > England.
Scholsey
You Sir are a gentleman -
The man has his priorities firmly in place
United
Family
England
: )
You can only bow down to him and his idealism – if only we had more like him : )
Next year will be one mother of a year never to forget
Trust me reds : )
Scholes’ wife + kids> england
Scholesy one of the best midfield players in a generation said f off
Red nev the best right back for england in the last 20 years overlooked
Hargo the best england player for 4 consecutive years and the best england player in the 06 world cup by a mil overlooked too
Brown overlooked too
England can jump.
Maybe some personal dissapointment, but great news for us, the players can now relax, keep up with recovery work at carrington and be fully prepared come august…..less players in the squad the better.
And i thought capello was going to pick players on form and fitness and having played games? wallmart, j cole, upson, carragher???
hmmmmm
f em
@kings
my sentiments exactly…….nice 1 Sven. did us a favour with Scholesy…….i feel sorry for Wazza havin to carry some of the tw@ts in that squad let alone spend nearly a month with them……..come on Wazza do a Keano & piss of early…Ingerlund dont deserve you. i’l watch the games but in all honesty without Wayne we are SHITE.
Did someone not tell him he`d be only gone a week…….
Regarding World Cup choices
Ronaldinho doesn’t make Brazil’s squad
But a once upon a time United player Klerberson does : )
WTF : )
Mind that Ronaldinho isn’t the same anymore so the less said about that the better : )
Scott please confirm this…England fans chanted “stand up if you hate Man U”?
if so im no longer an england fan…United first for me.
Ah well at least micky carrick is going.The sleep walker.lol
United
Wife
Kids
Retire
England
In that order…
Macheda is God – Yeah mate, they have always sung that.
Good on you Paul lad, fuck them. Adrian Durham the shithouse was slagging Paul this aft saying why would he go anyway , is he good enough? Is that some sort of sick joke you no nowt mug? The Fat cunt , Barry and thug ain’t fit to lace his fucking Nikes. Its Pauls decision and fook all to do with you you Peterboro supporting Little Ingerlunder.
United > Ingerlund all day long.
Kings – Alright pal, hows it going? Yeah I saw Stevie Me push what looked like a 10 year old kid the other day at the KC. What the fuck was that all about.?
@Macheda IS GOD
Here you are mate. Here is an example.
http://www.thefreelibrary.com/WHY+DO+OUR%3B+FANS+HATE+US%3F%3B+England+0+Saudi+Arabia+0:+Neville+hits+out…-a060679551
Fcuk Ingurland mate.
He cud be talked out of walking away from united, but has had three mgrs come knocking n he told them to do one!!
One of the best midfielders ever! So says zidane, lippi, viera n me!!
Need to get a statue of nev, giggsy n scholesy, the one club boys
they’ve showered my life with so many bits of brilliance n determination.
I had the pleasure of bumping into Paul Scholes after Utd Played Oldham at Boundry Park. He was a true Gent and had no problem in signing my programme. Talk about star stuck. Legend. With him was a very fresh faced David Beckham who also duly obliged. I’ll certainly miss him when he decides Enough is Enough.
Copello had to try because he knows a great player just like SAF Does.
I was Born Red I will live a Red and will die a Red. But I’m English so will be Cheering on the Team in the World Cup and beyond. You all are welcome to your opinions and I respect them fully but they’re not mine. C’mon England.
UNITED > England !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Capello was right to at least ask him. He knows of Scholesy’s class.
We all agree Scholesy is better than ingerrrrrrrrland!
Scholesy has another year or two at United, fuck playing for England. I don’t know how any United fan could support England…..can you imagine cheering John
Nice
Terry or Ashley Cole? Only to hate them when
they play United next season??!! It just doesn’t feel right, hope Portugal win it
to hear renditions of Viva Ronaldo at OT on Sunday
@ King Eric
Adrian Durham is a wind up merchant mate I wouldn’t worry about him, Terry Christian should get back on that station!!!
Ah well patriotism aside
The general consensus is very clear in this election
United win a clear majority : )
That didn’t take long did it?
Maybe we should run the country instead : )
@ Rai
Its not all about Utd Players though. Any English player has the right to Represent his country and in doing so gets my support. Granted Cashley Cole is a horrible Bastard and Gareth Barry is a Mercinary Shitty Bastard but they are not representing the Clubs I hate. I hate the Clubs not the Players, I dislike Cashley, Barry, Gerrard, Terry and Carregher etc as I did Alan Shearer but they are the England team and I’ll support them. If Evra and Vidic were English and replaced Cashley and JT nobody would be more happier than me.
Like I said Everybody is entitled to their opinion and I respect it but it isn’t mine so understand why I support my country even if you don’t agree with it mate.
@ James21
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect yours mate, but the majority of England fans deteste United and by the end of the world cup, after England are knocked out…they’ll find a way to blame it on a United player…..
Beckham
Neville
Ronaldo
??????
On the world cup selection again
Karim Benzema who had a wankfest for Real Madrid turning his back on the greatest manager and team in the world -
Does not go to the world cup
Serves the fucker right and be it a lesson to them all – Real Madrid will never be the Real Madrid that people think they are – the obscenity that they show is ridiculous and players should be taught so accordingly
Oh and no Patrick Viera
Just gets better this : )
Ronaldinho missed out for Brazil, Ruuds not going either.
Classic! I love you Paul Scholes.
Another thing about don Fabio’s squad, how did upson make the 30, ahead of Neville and Brown, two players that have a wealth of experience for club and country.
Benzema would have been awesome for us, prick deserves a summer of reflection watching the World Cup from his TV …wouldn’t mind him
still though, we can get him for a cut price….also if we bought him last summer and if he became a success, stories would be surfacing about Real coming in for him!!! At least if we get him now we might actually keep him for a while!!!
@Rai
Totally agree.
Wouldn’t be the same without that happening though but I’ll love the gloating when the said player has a blinding season and Utd win the Treble
I must admit I don’t care what supporters of lesser teams think. Not all England fans are like that though its just the Milwall/ Leeds type emptyheaded thug fans.
Scouse and Shitty fans will always find faults with Utds England Players but I’m not in that category, if they wear the England shirt they get my support.
F***K EM!
Well well, there is a surprise lmao.As you will gather Reds on Rom, I am Scottish and as proud as fuck of my nation and our history and our miserable national team.
This news I saw earlier, and just laughed like a fukin coot and thought to maself good on you Paul, why the fuck would you want to put yourself through that shite in Austria and to likely be rejected for the final squad for South Africa.You can look forward to sunning yourself on the beaches and fabulous esplanades and scenic sights of Oldham and recharge your Duracells for next term.Well done Paul, a sensible and sane selection.
As for the rest of the squad, fuck me pink, do England want to get to the semi’s even.I have said and I stand bye it Cornetto always said he would select players on form…….Gerrard, Carragher, Joe Cole, how the mighty fail to remember there opening gambits! He is having a Bubble.
Anyways Englands achilles heal is always going to be the goal keeper, all the best goal keepers in the EPL are from foreign shores.
Have a nice summer break Paul, much deserved, and clearly knows were his bread is buttered.
just watched the dammed united………………….oh how I fucking hate leeds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well done scholes, who wants to play with that twat terry & co
james21 – Will you jump up if Stevie me scores for England in the world cup?
Benzema didn’t get selected? LMAO! Even Thierry Henry got the nod over him!
“for me there’s nowhere better than Manchester.” LOVE IT.
Scholes=LEGEND
King Eric – Hello mate, I’m good thanks. Hope you are well. The guy is a cunt, no matter what misdemeanours he gets involved with, he will always be absorbed of any criticism. Can you imagine the furore if Wazza did that? Gerrard is one of a hundred plus reasons why I fucking hate England. Yet again, with the World Cup around the corner, one of our players is key to their chances of success – Rooney for the second World Cup running, but if all goes tits, you can bet your bottom dollar it will be his fault. Just hope Carragher plays and takes his shit form into the World Cup and gives away a penalty which eliminates England.
Well done Scholesy, got his priorities right!
willierednut
thats easy to say since we arent from ingurland
Good one Scholesy!
I laughed out loud at Benzema when I saw the news – serves him right that prick.
I don’t want him at United – not another dreaming of Real player please. No matter how great he is.
Having said that if Fergie does go for him – then I trust the wizard and would support him.
But seriouly, I dont think us United fans deserve another player who dreams of Real – never again please. We have suffered enough with Ronnie.
Ulster Red – True mate, my moneys on the Argies, even though Maradona is a fooking nut lol.
@Willie
I’d hit the roof without spilling a drop.
My inlaw is Scottish and hates Rangers players none more than Kenny Miller (horrible bastard)
He follows Scotland home and away on occaisions and would definately cheer if Miller put one in the net.
Isn’t there a saying in the military YOU RESPECT THE RANK NOT THE PERSON.
My money is on the Wags and which one gets outta there, without having had Terrys prick in there box or a wee slip in the back passage! Away to check Bet fred for odds.
Scholes deserves a holiday. It’s understandable that he wants to stay at home with his family and focus on the football he plays with Manchester United. I love his attitude, on and off the pitch. Very down to earth…
willierednut
but if i was english, no chance id support the likes of john terry and gerrard, not one hope in hell…the argies are a good shout, just depends how messi performs in my opinion, unfortunatly for ronnie he is a on a different level to anyone in his portugal side, id really like him to lift it..
@ James21
Mate it’s just hard to cheer on people you hate…this isn’t a world war it’s a football tournament, no one owes the national team anything in terms of support. Support and respect should be earned not just given, and John Terry and his crew have done nothing to deserve that.
I like to think Scholes loves United and in a way I think he does but a bigger part of me thinks he is just the perfect professional. He reminds me of a normal businessmen with an abnormal job. He goes to work and then home without much too much changing. He works hard at his profession and sticks to his word. He doesn’t allow himself to get over stretched. He is focusing on his pay check and working his socks off to earn his wage.
I think he is very happy to be playing for United but I truly believe he would have been as fantastic no matter where he played. I don’t think United brought something special out of him. I think he had that something special inside him. He is by far my favorite United player and has been for sometime. I remember 1 or two years ago it seemed he was done but he has rewritten his style and changed his game. He uses his experience and knowledge to put himself in the right spots and play the right ball.
Paul Scholes…He Scores Goals!
Well said Kevin Mate, i Just read elsewhere, Scholes rejects Fabio’s advances, I thought are we all at Old Trafford gay .Have some decency Fabio, ohhh yes your are single, you can choose your own destination. Mind might be Rafael, lol…… no its that stupid pratt of an Italian courting our Star* and failed
Be carefull of what you see, is the moral.
Who would’ve thought he’d actually be playing just in front of te defence eh? He’s been fantastic this season, can’t believe he’s never won the PFA award when so many of his peers sing his praises. His one touch passing and vision is second to none, he pisses on Lampard and Gerrard.
@Rai
Its an example of a saying. It kind of like saying respect the badge and what it stands for and not necessarily the person wearing it.
I’m starting to feel like a rival fan, and Im certainly in a minority on this post which is no problem whatsoever as I don’t expect any other Nationality to support mine.
I can see all the points given why not to support England during the world Cup, but i’m also very Patriotic and feel I do owe the England team my support , respect and loyalty.
I always fly my St George Flag on St Georges day but my country hasn’t always had my best interests at heart. I have more to gripe about against my country than I do about my countries sports teams but it doesn’t make me hate my country.
I will be supporting England regardless of any comment.
@Kevin
Top Post mate. Love Scholsey.
@ James 21
This isn’t a debate about your alliance to your nationality, it’s just I don’t understand how anyone can support some of the players who they hate. Your in-law can’t hate Rangers that much if he’s supporting those same players a few games later in a friendly against Estonia!! I respect your opinion but a lot of United fans won’t be cheering on Ashley Cole this summer, we’ll
instead be patiently waiting for the circus to come to
an end with the usual story. Shit football, not good enough.
I’ve said for years United players should tell England where to go, ever since the Neville’s and Beckham were being abused by their own “fans” at Wembley.
The horrible pack of wankers who follow England and take great delight in slaughtering United players then cheer and chant Rooney”s name when he scores, fuck off!
See how well England do without him, or Rio and Carrick, let them get a good summer’s break and come back fit and fresh for us, the fans who adore them every week, not just once in a blue moon, the rest of the time they enjoy singing about them being a drug cheat, or a fat granny shagger, fucking cunts.
@ Dazjoe
Exactly my point mate, they hate us, so why support them?
Good for him to spend the summer with his family.
But I would love to see him at the WC. More United players there, the better.
@Rai
I know it isn’t a debate about my alliance but its why I’ll be supporting England in the World cup my National pride. I don’t hate anybody, strongly Dislike maybe but not hate.
My Scottish Inlaw However hates Rangers players with passion but his National pride more than likely outwieghs his hatred.
I’m sure its the same in Spain, with Real and Barca fans.
But then its got to be the same everywhere not just England. All countries have rival teams who’s fans hate each others players weather or not they don’t support their National teams I wouldn’t know.
I can’t remember which blog/thread it was on but some guys on here were saying they hate Harbajan Singh But love and support the Indian Cricket team. Bet they cheer when he takes wickets.
We’ll have to agree to disagree here coz I need to get my head down.
Enjoyed the Debate and Stick to your guns mate. I will. Thanx for your time.
good for scholes.. i want the least amount of United players to play for Ingurland!! at the end of the day they’ll always blame a united player for their failures!!
United > Ingurland
@James21
Take it easy bud
Mexico v France on june 17, so we will see Evra defending against Chicharito….hopefully evra takes it a bit easy on his new team mate…
First off Scholes is a legend
Secondly, i love united more than life itself but for once in my lifetime i would like to see england win a major tournament. As man united fans, we don’t have to deal with shit such as the WAGS or the egos so supporting united is a hell of a lot better than supporting england. But i think when international tournaments come around we must support England like hell. Yes that even may mean cheering, as much as I hate to say it, the likes of John Terry.
Guys, the bit you are missing is that the Ginger Prince is not not prepared to let down American Kids (and, more importantly, my English born step-son who has the scary zeal of the convert since I shipped up 3 yrs ago) at his Academy in Orlando that starts 2 days after the Ingurland V ‘Merica match.
http://www.midwestsoccer.net/home/default.asp?menu_category=Paul%20Scholes%20Academy
Can’t believe the crap advertising means that not sold out but wtf. I now live over here and even the nice guys and soccer moms just don’t get it. It is making me mad just typing this. Hoping he’s in the same hotel so I can have a few bevvies and test the whole “Attend Every Session” stuff.
Therefore, to be strictly accurate….
Kids/Wife
United
Edward and some other kids
England
true legend can keep his own words, salute to you, Scholes!
ထာဝရမန္ယူ
Scholesy is a man of principal unlike some other scouser who accepted the offer. Just think about it, if you did not play in the qualifying, it is ‘cheating’ the other players if you accept South Africa. We know our players are principaled, that’s why I support ManUtd!
For ‘principal’ – should be ‘principle’
I would love to see england lift the cup.Imagine rooney to be a star and ferdinand lifting the cup.its simple because i dont want spain to dominate.i would love to see a united player winning the world cup and who better than rooney and ferdinand.
Surprising some of u guys want argentiena to win ,would u people like to see that ugly cunt tevez lifting the trophy ,i cant.
UNTED>ENGLAND.But i want rooney to lift the cup.
he is the best………man u rocks there is no team in the world who can compete with us…….
and for other epl club fans MAN U is the only club who have won fifa club world cup…sp shut ur mouth………
PROUD TO B UNITED FAN
THANKS SCHOLES………!!!!!!!!!
