cheers scholesy!
WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED
PAUL FUCKING SCHOLES
LEGEND
Congratulations Scholesy, I’m pleased you’ve got your tonne!
nice
whys the commentator saying it was 100% gift to united when the guy just cleared a cross in and Scholes latched onto it, with great composure to slot it through.
…He scores goals! No chance he won’t sign contract extention.

Congrats are in order to the Ginger Ninja. Best united player in the premier league era. Not sure about Berba upfront alone though. He is brilliant with his back to goal but not as a spearhead. That needs pace to unnerve a defense. Hope macheda is nearly ready. Why aren’t we starting Diouf? Anyway top of the pile is good enough for now
Scholesy !! The rest should watch and learn how he sold the dummy to the opponents in the box..!
Don’t have to shoot ,volley instantly … faint one!..faint two..low volley.. hit the net! 1-0 to united!!
Well done… Scholes! 100th goal..? I would say league title goal!!
JD
It was the lovely delay in Scholes’ shot which led to the defender going to ground, pretty much every other player would have shot first time but Scholesy knew to dummy it and then finish!

Paul Scholes > Fat Frank
@willierednut
Usually, I say Scholes > Lampard with both in their prime. But I think that he is currently better than him! Scholes is our team’s heartbeat on that pitch.
So relieved that the chance fell to Scholes, who would not miss from there.
We should have really killed the match after that, and we nearly paid for that at the end.
Scholes>Lampard? No contest at all.
Bring on AC Milan.
@Jish inc
Why aren’t we starting Diouf? Did you see his performance today? I reckon the fact he’s clearly not ready for the Premier League may have something to do with it. Bloody hell how I hate the Wembley turf robbing us of Rooney and Owen when we need at least one of them fit now.
Scott taught I might help you out so you can go for a beer of victory

Review of Wolves vs Manchester United
,
Who gives a fuck we are top of the league
Nice review GHTT. Pretty much summed it up!
Has anyone heard what the deal is with Wes Brown? I hope he and Evans will be back this week.
Costa mate thank you as you know i have studied english
I think its his knee Costas, dont know about jonny but the real concern is rooney.
Ahh, where would we be without Scholesy this season? He has scored the opening goal for us a few times this season; namely against City in the semis, Milan away. We thrive on our first goal and improve performance wise. Paul Fucking Scholes; what a legend.
We should acknowledge that some of our players were involved in internationals at the weekend. This is the second time (?) that Berbatov has played as a lone striker, it was clear he was not used to that role; although he was everywhere and was involved in pretty much all of our attacks. MOTM. I remember the days when Rooney’s frustration got to the point where his performance suffered massively as a reult of playing as a lone striker and the lack of support; it took quite a long time for him to adjust to playing alone and when he did, his prolificness grew. I thought today Berbatov handled it quite well considering he has played in that role a few times. Had Ando been available/Fletch started or had Nani performed better on the left, I believe he would have recieved better support. We clearly lacked grit and ball winners in the middle.
Any news on Brown? Is he injured? I thought he performed well up until coming off and I hope he’s available for Milan. More reliable than Neville, better defensively than Rafael so I would give him the RB slot on Wednesday. Defence looked a bit rattled sometimes; that was expected anyway as they haven’t played together in donkey’s years.
3 golden points secured. Now we can focus on Milan, and lets all pray for Rooney and Giggs availability for the big game coming up!
@willierednut
Don’t want to sound complacent, but I am hopeful that we can handle the next 2 games without Rooney, if we have to. We don’t have to score on Wednesday and Fulham should be a straight forward game. But I think he will be ok for Milan.
Well Costas i hope we dont sit back on wednesday against this Milan team, i want to see us try and kill it of early. Watching this Roma, Milan game, Ronaldinho looks back to his best and i dont know how we’re gonna deal with him, kidnap him maybe lol.
Why aren’t we playing Diouf? The less said about Diouf the better. He was hideous.
Berbatov was 80% brilliant today and 20% clearly lacking knowledge of how to lead the line. He was good today though and the most noticable thing was he was running much more.
Zinedine Zidane was asked who his toughest opponent was. He replied “Scholes, he is the best midfielder of his generation”. That’s fuckin Zidane saying that. You don’t get bigger compliments. He is the perfect player and the best player England never really had. The most humble modest player you will ever see. Scholesy could have easily been in the limelight whenever he wanted but chose to keep his head down and avoid any publicity. Looking back at his career and his abilty and achievements it sometimes brings a slight tear to my eye when I think about him retiring shortly. Manchester United will never replace Paul Scholes. LEGEND.
You can always count on the Ginger Prince!
Also, has anyone else noticed how every time Scholes scores he first smiles and is very happy but when his teammates hugs him he looks extremely uncomfortable and almost sad. I noticed it in both this clip and the goal he scored against Barcelona. Look in this clip from 01:04 where he first is very happy and then the rest of the team comes… Wonder what that’s about.
Anyway, matchwinner again. Here’s to a century of goals from Rooney and hope he may return soon!
Ronaldinho! Big game bottler. That was clear when we played them
And I’m very happy that we win even when we’re not playing well.
@willierednut
Lol, Ronaldinho’s form is exactly why I was asking about Wes. I think he is the most suitable of our 3 RBs to handle him.
It’s a good thing we have a couple of fresh faces to bring in on Wednesday. Rafael could be one if Brown doesn’t make it. Fletcher and Park are two more. I know Park played for 20 minutes today, but that isn’t even a warm up for him!
“Wayne is very doubtful for Wednesday,” said Ferguson, who has publicly aired his disappointment at seeing the 24-year-old play 86 minutes for England against Egypt in midweek.
“The Wembley pitch has killed him.”
LEGEND!!
Whats the odds Pato and Rooney start on Wednesday.
I don’t know the Pato situation, but given the magnitude of the game, I give him a 80% chance of playing. And I give Wazza a 60% chance.
yes agreed cool finish, and jeez it was needed, we huffed and puffed but couldna blow the Wolf down.I expected 2.0 so I lost a Tenner, BUT as other poster’s rightly point out we are in Pole postion.I cant remember EVDS having a save to make, says bucket loads.
It was not a question of Wolve’s parking the Bus and all credit to them for that.Ist half i thought we were of the pace, they were getting nearly all 50/50s and doing a Everton on us, harrying and hunting us down.As SAF said this is the First time in 18 month’s that defence has started and it felt good.As an earlier poster said, I also hope Wes is ok.FFS what is with our Team and injuries we just sometimes look jinxed.However on a positive point bringing on RED Nev added the impetus as he clearly was going forward more and delivery more clinical , and his passes to Antonio(MOM) were better.
I think also we stumped them so to speak with so many Yellow card’s in the first half, they had to be extra carefull.
2nd half wayyyyyyy much better, although often I thought ffs we dont half miss Wayne. Dimitar dropping almost to the half way line to collect the ball, FFS.I think everyone could see the Man’s class though, some sublime touches, sheilding of the ball, flick’s you cant write too many superlatives about him, but not one serious threat on Hahnemann, but it will happen.Nani in my humble opinion had a poor game and was rightly hooked.3lungs did his normal and added a threat pressed more of there defence back.Mama Biram when i saw him added I thought done deal, but he simply was trying too hard and sadly fluffed his line’s Twice but as a lot of lad’s think he will learn from Micheal and Wayne.
So overall I think we played okay given the circumstances it was a tough nut to crack, but we cracked it.All praise to the Lad’s. And in particular to Antonio and of course our NEW 100 EPL goal scorer, and our defence midfield, and limited potency strike force.
Off to the Boozer to have a few Wets on the strength of that victory and get well Jaked, and fall into a drunken stupor dreaming Chelsrent get humped tommorow.
4 in a row BELIEVE On On On
Nani was poor because he was on the left. On the right he is awesome but we simply cannot drop Tony V in his current form.
What seperates the good goalscorers from the great ones are the importance of the goals that they score.
Without hesitating for even a secong, I would put Scholesy in the latter category
LEGEND
nuff said.
Fasists – Sevilla: 0-2
I remember a goal from Scholesy a few years ago that was very similar. I think it might have been the 06-07 season, our first in the run of 3, and it was towards the end of the season, aka squeaky ass time. It was home to Blackburn, I think they took a shock lead in the first half and we were awful. Then in the second half, going towards the Stretty end, we played with an intensity and fire that must have been terrifying for the defenders. Blackburn never saw the ball the whole half. And after we tied it up (I think) and kept pilling on the pressure, a ball fell to Scholesy at the top of a crowded box. He faked once, faked twice with the same move, and then blasted it low past Friedel. Glorious. The roof came off. Game over and marching towards the title. I think we scored 2 more after that though but that goal was f’ing marvelous.
haha costas
2-2.. ronaldo, ramos
I have no idea how we won that today … Scholesy LEGEND
@Drew Vader
Yeah, good memory man. It was a similar goal against Blackburn. He equalised Derbyshire’s opening goal and we won 4-1. Blackburn didn’t make it past the half way line for quite a while. Amazing how someone who is so red blooded in his tackling can be such a cool customer in front of goal.
@obertanthenewstar
Damn, spoke too soon. I always jinx results when I do that!
3-2 van der vaart.. gone top haha
Drew Vader
Yes. similar to that but he passed three players and scored against an excellent friedle. the score was 4-1 carric scored the second, ole scored the fourth and someone scored inbtwn. That day earlier Arsenal lost 4-1 to liverpool and i remember i had a go at my arse friends.
Good job Ronnie for bringing the Fascist back into the game!
Ronaldo has instilled a bit of that Man United fighting spirit in the Fascists. I still hope Lyon dump them out.
Sir Alex hasn’t given a timetable on Brown and Evans’ returns. Just that they have knee problems. Amazing. Two weeks ago, they were the fit centre back duo and Rio and Vidic were injured…
I hope Lyon knock the over – rated Madrid out of the champions league.
Costas — I dont. I hope the pleasure of knocking them out falls to Wayne Rooney and his mates
we dont need rooney for wednesday we need a keeper and 10 defenders and bore the frick out of the game
I wouldn’t call Real Madrid over-rated at all, but I really wish I could, I’d love to see them knocked out, they’ve been less than amazing this season but thats only because they’ve been slow to hit form. I watched them tonight against Seville come back from 2-0 down to win 3-2, all three goals coming in the second half. From the first whistle they created enough chances to win by 8-9 goals. Ronaldo is undeniably carrying the team, playing like a demon, but Kaka has been absolute Kak all season. He missed at least one sitter and was subbed off. Madrid looked better for it. That ex Liverpool fella Arbaloa is pure Kak too Christ Almighty. But Higuian, Ronaldo, Ramos, Manceio, Van Der Vaart, the entire team all looked good today, and even tho the Keeper had a nightmare Madrid AAAALWAYS looked like they could score however many they needed. I can’t lie they’ve hit form tonight. If Lyon don’t concede in Madrid I’ll be amazed, but having said all that I still hope to see the Facists chased out of Europe this week.
i think we can all agree… Paul Scholes is the best ginger footballer in the world. He is considered a leader, messiah and role-model for all the red haired population of the world… he is the only person with red hair that has a soul… hail Paul Scholes! king of the gingers!
so is it written in the books that he shall lead the ginger population to a new world order!
WELL DONE SCHOLESY!!!
TOP OF THE TABLE WITH YOUR 100TH PREM GOAL !!!!
Interesting:
http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/162013/Joe-Cole-set-to-join-United
Paul Scholes, he scores goals.
Legend.
I couldna gee a flying fuck as Bon jovi said ( sung) We are Manchester United, giving up or giving in ? let me hear you say yeah yeah Not born to follow. Let me hear you all say yeah yeah On On On, at Milan game get yer Ass off yer seat up for what YOU believe.JUST and it’s easy simples get behind the Lad’s, mind now shout like crazy. It’s gonna be a tricky game, this is why i cant post on anything to do with Glazer as one poster on this site wrote it’s very devisive.
Our Club in turmoil BUT come on dont let that destroy our season. Mind now lad’s if you are there On On On
Paul Scholes scores goals – but he did so much more today.
His play in mopping up behind the midfield, linking the defence with the midfield, and pinging the ball all over the field was truly spectacular. Remember that it was his 50-yard arrow that sent Berbs in alone on the keeper – until Dimmy flubbed it.
I haven’t seen a more complete, more dominating performance from the GingerNinja since 2006/7 when he was paired with John O’Shea and managed to hold together the team to win the EPL.
After watching today’s performance – really, it was a masterclass – it is apparent that he simply can’t be replaced. SAF will have to find another guy to play another way when #18 finally hangs up his boots and quietly shuffles off to his mansion, to sit in front of the fire with his little kiddies on the edge of the Pennines.
Absolute crap performance tonight but great to get the 3 points.
What does concern me a lot is the injuries we are picking up again. All season its been defenders now Evans and Brown (who were playing shite anyways but still like to have them as back up )
A bigger concern are the strikers.
Berba playing with a injury all season and its showing.
Owen out for the rest of the season
Rooney now with a niggling Knee injury – those things need rest which ehe won’t get until next summer with this years WC looming.
Who have we got left? Diouf has looked good in the reserves but thats the reserves. Macheda just coming back from injury.
Christ I hope we dont have to rely on Diouf and macheda in the big games coming up.
This is now why I think Fergie should have got someone else (with all the Ronnie money, but I think we all know why he didn’t, cheers ypu glazer bastards)
Anyone see the Aaron Ramsey hoopla at the Emirates? Not one, not two, but THREE different giant “win it for Aaron” banners; the Arsenal squad came out for the match wearing “get well soon Aaron” t-shirts and if I’m not mistaken, there was a minute’s applause for Ramsey before the match!
I think the term is “grief junkies.”
One other thing, during the match a Burnley player executed a perfect sliding tackle to steal the ball from Walcott. What followed was even more embarrassing than the pre-match Ramsey-themed festivities. Walcott squared up to the Burnley defender, accusing him of a dangerous challenge, while the incensed Emirates faithful bayed for the poor guy’s blood. Meanwhile, captain Fabregas hounded the referee, imploring him to take action against the Burnley player. Let me reiterate: it was a perfectly-timed tackle, as clean as you’ll ever see!
These guys are unbelievable.
That Wenger is a smart old bastard. What the injury means to him is that he can put pressure on every ref in every game to ‘protect his players’, and he’ll do it. All the good managers do it, they complain about this and that and it’s a monkey on the ref’s back. Wenger is all kinds of a bastard but he is above all else a worthy adversary and he will use everything he can to get an edge, even his injured players.
As for today’s game I think United were pretty good, we were certainly not as bad as Wolves made us look. What Wolves did is what any side needs to do against United, they got at us all over the pitch and made everything difficult. It turned the game into a real battle and I think the lads did well to match Wolves in a scrap front of a crowd who were really up for it. End of the day we didn’t take all of our chances and neither did they, but it was a fair result and just the kind of win we won the title with last season.
Man of the match for me was Berbatov. Lone striker is the hardest job in the game and he did it, he held the ball up and he created plenty. He barely got a shot away and lost the ball a few times, but looking at what he was up against, hell he was getting closed down by four or more defenders at once sometimes. He kept his cool, kept plugging away, and every so often he’d squirt the ball out through the mob of players surrounding him and something would happen. He put in a real shift. Second would be the Scholes, he was a true midfield general today and he had to be. Broke up opposing play, launched our own attacks, scored the goal and never looked like he was losing his cool or his focus. What a pro.
A game like that is never going to look pretty and a team like that is never going to let you play the sort of football that makes it into the best bits of the season montage but I think the lads really dug deep. It’s an even better result for the fact that it was achieved with a depleted side, and every win when you’re team is on the mend is a big plus.
Lastly regarding Diouf, I think he looked great right up until his final touch today. He should have bagged two and fair play to him his positioning was great, but he needs to get goals before the Forlan effect sets in.
Doghouse – great post.
Fred – ha nice one mate, those Gooners really are pathetic. I notice they don’t actually have pictures of the trophies on that tacky Ramsey banner a la the Eduardo one. I see Wenger is saying that Ramsey will “be psycologically damaged by the tackle and will never be the same again”. Hull will get points of those cunt’s next week.
Thats another away game chalked off with a win for United.
I also fancy Stoke against the Chav’ today.
He scores goals. He is Scholes..
Guess who’s back?

Costa
that is fantastic news about jonny
also
thers one chelsea player id want at united and thats joe cole
just down to attitude
himself and SWP seem to have been out for a piss when the special one brainwashed the rent boys to think they are the dogsbollox
@GHTT
It sure is great news. I like Sheasy a lot. Evra will finally have a chance to rest!
I think Joe Cole could be a good option for us as Giggsy will be 37 next year. On current form he will struggle to get picked over Park, Nani or Valencia, but he cna bring something different to our attacks.
costa
next year hey will still be here but we have to “gary neville” giggs and scholes i think at Come thursday it could be the start of a Joe Cole Hargreaves rescue plan.
I think myself the fact that ir Alex has always liked Cole and Joe Cole is trying to get 100 grand a week in contract talks this could well be a plant of a story in the papers by joes agent to get chelsea to act fast because he wants to stay there
John Oshea is excellent news with Cover needed for players to rest or mend in the run in and noone can do it better than jonny
@GHTT
At this moment, this is just a poker game between Cole and Chelsea. But it looks like United will be his first option if their talks break down for good. You mentioned Hargo. We could potentially be talking about two new free transfers fo the 10-11 season.
I think this game summed up United to a T. It took composure and true proffesionalism from one of the greats of the game. The game was for the most part played at a relaxed pace and the fringe/young players looked just that BUT thats the great thing about United. Whereas Chelsea are playing week in week out their best squad and trying their bleeding hardest and Liverpool can only play with their top squad (whatever the fuck that could be) we’re at the top of the league. The games we’ve played this year haven’t really filled me with confidence of great things (dreaming of years past) but we’re winning the league and leading the leg against Milan in the Championsleague whilst spreading play amongst the youth/fringe players and the seniors. That is a measure of a truely great team. Next year all our young/fringe players will have yet one more year of experience under their belts and the team even without additions will be better than this year. The same cannot be said of our rivals. Sir Alex is a GOD.
Costas – Hello mate. That is great news. All those idiots that say O’Shea is not a United player can now see how foolish they look. We have missed John. Hargo and O’Shea in the same weekend. Fantastic news.
goatinaunitedshirt – Hello mate. Spot on.
@King Eric
A great player to have back, no doubt. Can play all across the back four and has a terrific attitude.
Villa are on the way out… Reading have scored well worked goals.
Can’t see Villa pulling back 2 goals in the second half…
COME ON STOKE !!!!!
Spoke to soon Paul Parker lol.
King Eric @7:17: ” I also fancy Stoke against the Chav’ today.”
I hope not ! I want to see them playing all the time, playing the same first-eleven all the time so that they break down at EasterTime in the EPL.
I’d like to see them beat Jose at Stamford Bridge, too – for the same reason, NOT because I want to see Jose gloat (errrr, I’d really like to see Jose stick it to them, just not this time).
denton – Yeah good point mate. I want the Chav’s to win for that reason but just fancy Stoke somehow.
Paul Scholes he scores goals.
COME ON YOU MIGHTY REDS UNITED UNITED UNITED
LUHG
what a Goal!!! to control that ball coming at that pace and with such short notice – and then to finish like that. One of the best goals of the seaon.
