    I thought this thread would be about Nicky Bailey.

    haha not quite oggy. Scholes is on another level when it comes to controlling games. His vision is outrageous...can spot a pass before us watching it on tv at home!

    The model pro?
  • scholes is a great role model for the young kids of today

    you never see him drunk in papers

    he only shags his wife or girlfriend

    he doesnt urinate in the street

    he doesnt get caught smoking


    i think that if every english footballer took their football as serious as scholsey then we would have a national team to be proud of

    for footballer in the dictionary look up paul scholes

    If every footballer took their game as seriously as Scholes, the Engalnd manager would stick him on the left in 4-4-2 where he'd get fuck all decent ball become so bored he'd have to retire. Thirteen bloody years since Hoddle gave him his head and played him in the middle of midfield 3, and he hit the most sublime ball to Shearer for a goal. Sorry rant over let's just play our centrally minded players all over and keep Lampard.

    But not in the same bed at the same time! He is a gentleman after all.

    he is quality and last night he was superb......he's not quite Ryan Giggs though, now scored in every one of the 19 premiership seasons!

    Scholesy is frightening, his passing ability is ridiculous. Love the way the commentators laugh off a late Scholes challenge as a "mistake", there is no way they're all a mistake. He knows what he's doing and it all adds to how good he is. Amazing player.
  • Brilliant midfielder, great passer, terrible tackler.
  • Hard to believe that he suffers from asthma as well.

    Top professional and quality player and, as other have said, the perfect role model and for a young footballer.

    He's not a terrible tackler, he a cynical little swine, but my gawd he was at his best last night, the ball to Giggs for the third was stunning

    Massive Oldham fan aswell, gave the club some money when they were struggling a few years ago and still gets to boundary park whenever he can. Stuart Balmer late of this parish is one of his favorite ever Oldham players!

    Top pro, was class last night, can't tackle and can't run anymore but my god can he hit a pass.

    the finish was stunning, the ball to him was pretty good but not that difficult under no pressure.

    Scholes is exactly what the England team have been missing. Another 2 or 3 like him and a couple of centre forwards and we might stand a chance. Both him and Joe Cole, like Gerrard have been marginalised to the donkey work positions (left/right midfield) over the last ten years so that workhorses can be accomodated in the centre. We don't have enough ball players in this country and when we get them we stick them on the wing!
