Scholes: We Might Have To Win Every Game

After scoring his second goal since making his shock return from retirement, Paul Scholes has claimed that Manchester United may have to win every one of the remaining twelve games if they are to retain the title.

“There is no point drawing games so we were throwing everyone forward going for that goal, and I am sure we will do the same thing again,” Scholes told MUTV. “Of course, three points instead of one is a big difference. That is what we are here to do. We realise we may have to win every game to win the league, but we are ready and prepared to do that. Hopefully, we can do it.”

    that just may be true and I don’t see how we couldn’t considering the easy run of games we have left besides Spurs and City away from home. Spurs should be rather an injured opponent for next weeks game considering what happened yesterday and Parker’s red card is also a plus for us. City of course will be a title decider but hopefully we’ll manage to pull off another brilliant game against them like the one we did during the FA Cup and this time hopefully without getting our foot off the pedal.

    On another note, still buzzing from yesterday’s gamee! Gett in giggsy !!!!

  2. Balls of Steel says:

    With you on the pitch, my idol, this is damn near impossible to not achieve.

  3. James21 says:

    Go on Scholsey thats fighting talk. This seasons Championship win would be the sweetest ever and probably the hardest fought having played so many games with so many injuries, its like trying to win with your arms tied behind your back. But we do keep winning and drawing games at grounds where last season we lost.
    1-0 wins from now till the end of the season will do although might be a little tense on the heart.

    COME ON REDS.

  4. BedaSh says:

    @James21, can only recall just a handful of games after our 3-0 thumping of Leeds that weren’t a ‘little’ tense on the heart :L

  5. Jonny says:

    No I don’t think tis ill be our year……Liverpool are just too good now.

    They have already won an important trophy and they are unbeaten in Europe this season.

    This season will turn out to be one great nail-biting finish

    Atkinson the ref for game vs Spurs!! Will have to be extra careful now.

  10. LoneStarRed says:

    Winning every game is a very real scenario if we are to get 20 this year. We must not stumble before City does. And we must take advantage when they do ! But it has come down to this.

  11. Costas says:

    That’s actually correct. Can it be done though? United haven’t done it in the Pr.League (the closest was 11 out of 11 in 99-00).

    Lets see how City start coping following this weekend. They will have the tougher schedule with games against Arsenal and Chelsea (albeit at home) coming up.

  12. Alom says:

    winning everygame might be the case now..
    its very doable! but I just see us and city losing points here and there..

    but still confident we’ll win the league!!

    Come On United!

  13. King Eric says:

    Nah. The bitters WILL drop points. After Bolton at home which is nailed on they have Swansea and Stoke away. Rentboys at home. Still to go to Emirates and Sports direct arena ™. Without sounding arrogant Spurs doesnt concern me. We will perform down there like we always do. Plus its a 4pm kick off Sunday which I feel is when we are at our best. Norwich yesterday concerned me more.

  14. King Eric says:

    Without a doubt there will be plenty more twists and turns yet, there always is.

  15. King Eric says:

    Jonny – Ha. Nice one. Talking of the scousers I notice that racist cunt didnt have the balls to step up and take a pen yesterday despite being a striker. Fucking bottlejob.

  16. WillieRedNut says:

    With the bitters home form being perfect so far, it might take something like winning all our remaining games to win it. It is however, unlikely we will win all our remaining games. City will have to drop points at home, at some stage. They don’t even have to lose at home. A couple of draws would do nicely. It set up for a enthralling finish. City will feel they should be well clear of us by now. Given our constant injury problems. United don’t go away. Lets take it to that city game in April. I’d back us to win there, if we need too.

  17. kanchelskis says:

    The Scotty Parker suspension is huge. He’s just the kind of midfielder who’d expose our midfield with his tireless running. While I believe Carrick, these days, can pick up the likes of Modric, having that kind of energy to contend with too might have been too much.

  18. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Scholes’ points are correct enough, but still wish he didn’t make them. Sounds a bit desperate to be honest. Don’t want opposition managers planning for the counter ;)

    Off topic: Full credit to former youth teams keeper Tom Heaton who was sensational in goal for Cardiff. Even stopping a StevieMe spot kick at the end. To bad the Gerrard clan had a back up plan with the nephew? in the Cardiff ranks to toss a spanner in the game. Football….. bloody hell!

  19. WillieRedNut says:

    A question for everyone? Would you all take the 2 points difference now, going into the city game in April?

  20. Sparkz says:

    Main thing is to get through the Spurs game with three points. If we can do that, it’ll have a big psychological effect on both us and City.

    Go back to late January, everyone was talking about the next 6 games being massive. We’ve had tough fixtures – Arsenal, Chelsea and Norwich away, Liverpool and Stoke at home. If we can beat Spurs…that means we’ll have got 16/18 points over this period. That would be bloody brilliant IMO, to only drop 2 points from that set of fixtures (and that was an immense comeback at a ground where we haven’t won in the League for a decade!).

    What makes it even better is that City have unexpectedly dropped THREE points during that period (the loss to Everton). If you’d told Fergie before this run of fixtures that we’d actually GAIN a point on City, he’d have bitten your hand off. Likewise, I’m sure City would have been expecting the gap to increase by at least a couple of points….so to come out of it with a reduced lead will surprise them a bit.

    Plus, look at how we’ve got some of these results….late winners against Arsenal and Norwich, coming from 3 goals down against Chelsea….City must be wondering what they’ve gotta do to get clear of us.

  21. Ash says:

    Willie

    I would fancy us to win the game at wasteland if that is the must win game for us. Anyways I expect city to drop some points at stoke or swansea. But first we have to get 3 points at North london.

  22. kanchelskis says:

    @WRN

    Yes. Why? 1. Our away form is the best in the league. 2. We beat them last time we went there.

    With Spurs still to play, I’d definitely take the status quo going into that game.

  23. King Eric says:

    Oh it’s our pal the bitter old Tring again:

    “Same old, same old, Evans and Evra are jokes. Both are totally out of any form, Evans doesn’t have any skills to have a form anyway. Why SAF plays Welbeck is a mystery. He missed chances that even Torres or Bent would have scored! Hernandez is so poor this season it’s pathetic. Yes, we got 3 points but that’s only papering over huge cracks. Benfica, Basel, New Castle, Blackburn, Ajax and of course most painfully, Man City exposed the cracks so cruelly. What has SAF done? Bought an average winger we didn’t actually need! May be a defeat yesterday would have been a blessing in disguise. The pretension of title defence would be over and there could be some changes for next season. Now we try to hang on to the coattails of Man City and gradually slip further behind.

  24. Ash says:

    You know its very funny to know that last season we were almost awful away from home but this seaspn we have been great away from home. Only lost once in the league.
    Its the home form that has been a bit disappointing. Even last week against ajax we lost at home.

    If we go by the record of this season then I am happy to face Spurs and city away.

    I would take it as well lads. Not just our away from being really good, but the feeling they should be home and hosed could play into our favour. I think all the pressure will be on city.

  29. ClaytonBlackmoresTan says:

    I’d like to Tring his neck…. fnar….

    Seriously though, some of the fucking comments on here yesterday were fucking appalling-one numpty who has probably been supporting us since 2008- stated categorically that Nani & young were shite. Let’s forget that they crossed for both goals. Fucks sake- this is a privilege supporting United, win or fucking lose- not a God given right to any cunt with Sky Sports.

  30. Ash says:

    Willie

    I agree with you. It will be city who will be feeling the heat. Great climax to the season.

  31. Kamshyaa says:

  32. kanchelskis says:

    @ClaytonBlackmoresTan

    The joke of it is – and I’ve been saying this all season – is that we’re well on course for a points total that would win us the title in the vast majority of PL seasons since its inception. It is the oil-funded takeover of City – ALONE – which is skewing peoples’ perspective and making people think we’re somehow in crisis. It’s a load of fucking bollocks. The only abberation of a result so far was losing at home to Blackburn. In terms of the league, we’ve had a very very good season. People shouldn’t let the fact that City have, thus far, had a better one, get in the way of realising that.

  33. WillieRedNut says:

    Charlie Adam’s penalty has just flew past my window lads! :)

  34. Costas says:

    Hmm, thanks to King Eric for correcting me. City actually are playing Arsenal away. Won’t be easy. I think they will win at St James’ though. Newcastle won’t play as well as they did against us. Not expecting any heroics from Danny Simpson there.

  35. edcunited1878 says:

    Still many matches to be played and we’re only looking at the beginning of March. This season is coming to look a lot like 09/10 when United lost to Chelsea by one point.

    Still remember Paul Robinson making a remarkable save from Tony V 1 v 1 that would have pipped United over Blackburn. United won every PL match except versus Chelsea and Blackburn.

  36. kanchelskis says:

    @edcunited1878

    Erm … we drew 7 and lost 4 that season.

  37. Costas says:

    I think he meant the last 12 games of the 09-10 season. But we also lost at Everton in that run.

    I have to agree that it will be just as close though.

  38. col says:

    In Uruguay, a striker not taking a penalty is a sign of bravery ….

  40. kanchelskis says:

    @Costas

    Ah – I see.

    Yes, it will be tight. Very tight. i’d be surprised if it didn’t come down to the last two rounds of fixtures, if not the last one. Earlier in the season I’d harboured hopes of going to the Shittyhad and winning the title there. How sweet would that be? But I think that would take a major collapse on their part.

  41. col says:

    :lol:

    fuck knows what the 35 million pound donkey’s excuse was though …

  42. edcunited1878 says:

    @kanchelskis – From March on, same stage beginning this weekend against Spurs

    Still much to play for, still much time for form to dip and come up.

  43. Costas says:

    *Ducks while a ball just flew over his head*

    Where did that one come from? :P

    @Kanchelskis

    That would have been really sweet, but with the form both clubs are currently on, I doubt we will get the upper hand in such a manner by then. I am just hoping for 2 things re the Etihad game: a) That we will be in touching distance before it and b) That we will be ahead afterwards. Don’t want us to leave our fate in other hands like we did 2 years ago, when Gerrard handed his opponents the trophy on a silver platter.

    Wait. That last sentence looks familiar…

  44. parryheid says:

    This weekend is Cities final nailed on points game and they will face teams playing like they play against United every week, as they will all be playing for something.United cope with the intensity every game and I don’t think City are capable and will drop points all over the shop.We win this week and the shit will be running out of City players.

  45. James21 says:

    col
    :D Nice one, I love sarcastic humour. :D

    Well I see the Bilbao Away tickets are £77.50. Fuck that ,robbing bastards, If it was Real or Barca then maybe but I certainly aint paying that sort of money to go watch Utd in the Basque country. We should charge them Double for the privilage of coming to Old Trafford but we’ll probably charge them the same as Utd fans pay in East 2 £31 for Europa.

  46. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    I am sure City and the league are sick and tired of us by now. And I love it. Come on, we weren’t even supposed to be anywhere near City at the moment. They “literally” should’ve been running away with it since they have rarely been threatened in any way, shape or form. Us, on the other hand, have had one obstacle after another thrown in our way. And if you look at it realistically, we should’ve beaten Blackburn at home and the refereeing in the OT Newcastle game was horrendous. So, City should consider themselves lucky to even be ahead of us at this point.

    The one game I do regret though is the Chelsea one. I was egging us on to get the 3 points in that one. Even a draw from 3-3 back would’ve been demoralizing to our rivals but had we won that game and stayed level with City, they would’ve felt suffocated. Oh well, I guess it is just the romantic in me talking.

    I agree with what NRD posted at the beginning of February. If we are just two points off City after the Spurs game, and I see no reason we can’t be, then City will really feel the heat. That means we’ve played all our tricky fixtures and are on the home-stretch with players coming back from injury. And we’ll be expected to deliver the kind of March-May run that only we can. City on the other hand will really feel the pressure for the first time with important games coming in thick and fast. IF they can get through that and still win the title, I’d be the first to applaud them. Until then, I would think we are in as much of the hot seat as City at the moment.

  47. dannysoya says:

    if that’s what we have to do then do it WE WILL.

  48. FletchTHEMAN says:

    James21 Fully agree. DeGea was outstanding. MOTD commentary on the game was all about Giggs and De Dea with particular praise for our keeper. One still has to wonder about our defense. I don’t think there has been a United keeper in years how has had to deal with as many shots as Davide. I find it hard to believe that it is down to improved competition. I also don’t think it is simply down to a lack of quality in our defense. I think it is down to a change in style. As with the Norwich match were Rio was up in their 20meter box on several occasions.

  49. Jeet says:

    Just take one game at a time lads. Let shitty worry about us, and let shitty worry about whatever else they choose to. We dont worry, just get in a hermit like zone, and focus on each game as it comes. The rest, as the great man said, “god only knows”.

  50. Humanoid says:

    @ Balaji:

    Exactly. All the pessimistic comments coming from United fans these days is fucking ridiculous. We’ve done amazing this season, especially considering our squad is not as weak as the one we had the year Chelsea ran away with their first title with Jose. And as one of the other posters here states, our points tally so far would be good enough to win the title in the previous seasons. If Manchester Arabia didn’t have the fucking oil money this would have gone down as one of our best ever seasons, doing well and getting the results despite the massive odds. GGMU!!

    Me and my crew, we rep red for true
    An army of devils comin’ after you
    Best make way cuz we bring the ruckus
    United on the rise ain’t no one to stop us!

    Interview with Arry

    Well then Harry that wasn’t much of a performance yesterday was it?

    Well Jeff you see that’s where you are wrong you know? – My team did that to weaken my position you know, they want to be relegated so they can keep me as their manager triffic.

    Huh?

    Well Jeff they love me and don’t want me to go?

    So Harry you are saying Spurs did it on purpose?

    Of course they did Jeff that’s why it was a triffic performance, the lads’ were brilliant you know, trific energy to lose like that, they were heroes all of them.

    So you don’t want the England job then?

    I do, but my boys at Spurs don’t want me to take it and I must say Jeff they were fantastic yesterday, couldn’t have asked for more from them you know?

    (Jeff shaking his head)

    Well then Harry, what can I say?

    Say you love me Jeff gissa kiss and tell that Suarez that he reminds me of fangface and he needs to go back to his own country.

    Fletch
    Don’t actually know what Rio was doing for their goal, maybe he was thinking about what to Tweet later, to be fair though it was a good turn by Holt. You’re right about the shots that DDG has to deal with I saw somewhere a few weeks back (Maybe posted by Costas) That he had at the time made the most saves, not sure if that still stands. When he plucked that cross out of the air instead of punching it impressed me. I think also alot of opposition players are trying their luck from distance due to his mistakes during the season. Lets hope he’s exercised his Demons.

    Won’t really know until Thursday/Friday about Spurs away.

    I had a chuckle at Giggs’ comment and replied.

  66. CedarsDevil says:

    On a serious note just how good a footballer is Scholes? I know his praises have been sung over the years but watching him play is pure joy. The way he controlls the tempo of the game, everything seems to go through him. Quick short passes, inch perfect 60 yarders and the bugger still makes his trade mark late runs into the box to score goals….

    Without a shadow of a doubt the best English midfield player the PL has ever seen

  67. James21 says:

    Should have bagged one against the scouse shite but unfortunately it went straight the Reina. Saw the look on his face as well ,he was pissed with himself. How can a player like Scholes choose to retire he’s still got another season if not more.

  68. Mikekelly12 says:

    Cedars
    The ginger prince…. He’s alright!!! Was out with my city mate in Chorlton on Saturday. He tried to compare their new Roma player (dont remember his name) to scholes.. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaharrrgghhhh cough splutter!!

  69. CedarsDevil says:

    James

    You only need to see how both Scholes and Giggs celebrated yesterday….. To still have that hunger and desire after having won everything there is to win is fucking amazing to say the least. Must be a Fergie affect, or simply they are both just living LEGENDS

    I also love the way Rio celebrates dramatic winners, seems to go bonkers as does Evra… Well I think they all went bonkers yesterday after that late winner. They want this title more than anything and they will get it

  70. James21 says:

    Cedars
    And its absolutely amazing to see Duncan Edwards Jr Phil Jones go bonkers as well. I love the desire to win we have in our team at the moment and think it will see us 1st past the post come May.

    ;)

    I have to agree that it’s not easy on the ticker when United do that to us, but I knew in my heart that United just kept on missing too many chances and that Norwich would score.

    What I also felt was on Friday I think it was that it would come at the end.

    Of course these are feelings that are born through whatever means necessary that this team is prepared to go to.

    I know that it it’s been hard this year but when they go that crazy from keeper to striker to management and bench and not forgetting the fans, then it’s a sincere privilege

    There is a lot that isn’t right, but for all the things that aren’t their are many things that are better.

    This team has one more trick up it’s sleeve before the gaffer bows out – let’s hope it can fulfil it’s dreams.

    I think we can safely say that it was never easy supporting United – and long may that continue, far beyond when all of us have closed the lights and left this place…

    Never die United, for 58.

    They Have the Cheek to call Us Hypocrites. HA HA HA. Bitter Posnan Prick. They have plenty of Plastic fans, about 20,000 blue empty ones.

    James

    Fuck me side ways, my memory is well fucked then! Always used to chukcle when we stopped at Chapel En Le Frith…. Just sounded way too fancy as a name for that area at the time!

    This is for anyone still questioning De Gea’s ability

    Remember, he’s only 21….and barely speaks English. The kid can only get better.

    A tribute to the King:

    “Zola, Bergkamp, Ronaldo, Henry and Patrick Vieira might all have made a huge impact on the game, but none proved as influential as Cantona.

    English football in 2012 would be a different place had Cantona not arrived to help change it in 1992.”

    MG. Derbyshire Under 21s :D
    Actually the last 2 are in Cheshire.

  97. MG says:

    James

    :lol:

    Fletch:

    We already know that being United fans, wouldn’t everyone agree?

    :D

  98. CedarsDevil says:

    MG

    What James has done is, he has taken my on a trip to memory lane…..

  99. MG says:

    Forgot Brolin and Yeboah, Viduka and Kewell from Premiership hottie list

    Just for Cedars

    :lol:

  100. MG says:

    Cedars

    You big softie you

    :lol:

    Wait better watch this tone of language or RedScot will fly through the ROM declaring that this is no longer a football blog and that only he does cutting and knowledgeable talk whilst actively trying to tell us he doesn’t like this kind of talk.

    Spinning around in circles!

    :lol:

    The mere fact this little bitter felt compelled to write that article tells us everything we need to know. Top of the league and still obsessed with us! If they were to win the league I’m convinced they’d fail to enjoy it thinking about what we might say!

  102. James21 says:

    Fletch
    Good article. Still wish he was playing.

    Who’s that friend we have in Jesus, He’s our saviour from afar,
    Who’s that friend we have in Jesus, And his name is Cantona,
    Oooh ahhh Cantona, Oooh ahhh Cantona,
    Oooh ahhh, oooh ahhh, oooh ahhh Cantona,
    Oooh ahhh Cantona

  103. MG says:

    Love Cantona’s new advertising

    Can’t remember the name – Pooches or something – whatever

    The brand not maketh the man the man maketh the brand

    :lol:

  104. CedarsDevil says:

    Tricky question, think carefully…..

    Would you rather Leeds stay where they are or even better go down another division or gain promotion just for one season so we can smash them twice?

    Asked King Eric this question and he chose the latter…….

    Personally I hope they go into adminstration and just piss off from the planet

  105. WillieRedNut says:

    Mike – I wonder if he noticed the irony in his own article? They call us arrogant, but in the same breath, they ain’t worried about us in the title race! I hope city’s players have the same mentality as that deluded fool.

  106. FletchTHEMAN says:

    MG Cheers mate.

    Get a look at this then

    Eric Cantona….Peter, Phil and Gary rate as extras in high art. Manager up with the angels ofcourse!

    Appropriately Divine.

  109. James21 says:

    I remember that painting in the paper. Might still have it somewhere.

  110. CedarsDevil says:

    MG

    Hahaha….. What a fool and in all honesty I no longer have time for fools

  111. JC says:

    Just got done watching last year’s Arsenal v United match from Emirates again, I’m still burning with rage over that pussy ass Foy not awarding the penalty/red card for us when Owen was blatantly stamped on just inside the box near the end of the match… fuck I can’t stand watching these replays when we lose… :D

  112. samuel - united WE stand says:

    Why do these muppets still hold out on carroll blossoming into a brilliant player?. Yes he isn’t the finished article but he is more of a paper bag of dog Shit than any article.

    big hairy lump, a spinning 50 pence coin has more dynamism than he ever will possess, runs after a ball like a kangaroo on marijuana, horrific first touch that even an oak tree would feel embarrassed about, terrible awareness of space and movement. a clamped garbage truck has more mobility, he flicks his unwashed hair more times than a chihuahua with flees.

    Yet we get idiots who claim he will come good, yeah of course he’ll come good when russia becomes an exotic sunny paradise. The hopeless fucking twat.

  113. mara says:

    i hope those cunts wont win the league. But we missed some good chances to get them behind. I hope we will win all games like Scholes said…
    Maybe some players get back from injurie
