Paul Scholes Retires

[Microdot]

steven gerrard is more of a complete footballer to scholes,but you cant deny his quality.loved the ginge in an England shirt was gutted he quit early an had a good laugh through the years at scholes tacklin ability if you can call it that

Everyone's entitled to their opinion but, seriously, that is complete and utter bollocks of the highest order mate. I'm actually shocked that anyone, aside from the most deluded scousers, would even suggest it.

Gerrard's biggest fault is his attempts at being "the complete footballer".
Trying defence splitting passes that have little chance of reaching their target (and usually don't) when he should be keeping possession......
Trying to burst the back of the net instead of finding a team mate in a good position etc

What you mean is, Gerrard can tackle a bit better than Scholes.
Well, maybe so, but Scholes is better than Gerrard in every other department.
Passing, shooting, running with the ball, keeping possession, staying on his feet.......

Gerrard's a good player, but not in the same league as Scholes.
Never has been. Never will be.

Paul Scholes is/was the best English footballer of his generation, and one of the best of all time.

Scholes wasn't bas for a ginger cunt, but I'd hardly sat he was in a different league to Gerrard, and his tackling was attrocious.

I wonder what he'll put in his biography...

Coming from someone who reckoned Ronaldo's been "shit since he left United", in a season where he's scored 54 goals, I think we can take anything you say with a big fcuking truckful of salt pal.

Or we could take the opinion of someone who's only just decided what team he supports over that of the best footballers in the world, who all say Scholes is the best they've ever played against.

It's great that you enjoy the game and like to have an opinion son, but I'd leave the real football talk to those that know a bit about it.

Gerrard isn't good enough to lace Scholes' boots.

scared of getting your ass whipped on a weekly basis?

Both players are quality, but you have to look at the comments from some of the other players in the world with regards to scholes. Everyone loved him.

As for gerrard, how well did liverpool do when he got injured?A lot better. The lad does try to overdo it.

[blistanbul]

this guy microbrains have been sniffing too much glue.

undoubtedly scholes is a half-decent player, but one of the best ever?

fock off lad.

gerrard just a bit better tackler than him?

lol.

scholes never proved himself as an international player, he copped out early because he was just another overrated red scum midfielder and he knew there were plenty of those at the time just not good enough to compete with the big boys on the international stage.:)

You smoke too much crack son.
The only league I need to win is the "getting ****ed up whenever I like and not ever getting a job" league.
Season runs non stop Jan 1st to December 31st every year, and I've won it 22 years on the bounce.

zidane has also said the same about gerrard not so long ago, and even ferguson described him as the most influencial player,bar non.

gerrard can/ does do everthing scholes can do,whilst also being a better athlete,a better tackler and faster.

[ritaheed]

Scholes over Gerrard any day of the week!

[blistanbul]

Scholes over Gerrard any day of the week!

who cares what you think halfwit.

they both failed england so i can care less.

gerard is a more accomplished player though.

the guy who has tendency to show up big or threaten to unlike ginger mut on big occasions.

Istanbul versus Milan ring a bell?

His passing is not even close to Scholes'
