Paul Scholes Retires

Paul Scholes has decided it is time for him to hang up his boots and retire from playing football.

Paul was part of the new wave of talent that came through to United's first team during the mid-90's. He scored twice on his debut in the League Cup at Port Vale in the 1994/95 season and since then has enjoyed a long a successful career, making an incredible 676 appearances for the Reds.

Fantastic player but should have retired a while ago, he was a passenger this season and shouldn't be remembered for that. He should be remembered for his performances when they were needed, he was always one of those players for United that would get important goals.

great passing ability shame he didn't learn how to tackle in all those years of playing

He knows how to tackle better than most players. Late challenges are part of the plan methinks, just sometimes ends up too late ^_^.

Not my kind of player, never enjoyed watching him nor saw him doing anything special (apart from harsh tackles and lucky 30m shots)

QuoteNot my kind of player


vila = Barcelona supporter

Barcelona = Xavi & Iniesta:
Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass and both can shoot from range

scholes and xavi got (or had) the same play style

Don't agree with Scholes having the same playing style as Xavi, Xavi is pure elegance and creativity whilst Scholes is more of a work & run-a-lot midfielder

QuoteAndrés Iniesta was nowhere to be seen as Barcelona’s celebrations began at Wembley on Saturday evening. United had spent much of the previous 90 minutes looking for the little Spaniard, and now even his team-mates were unable to locate him.

But as the new European champions were embracing and cavorting, their unassuming little midfielder was once again deep in United territory, this time locked in conversation with Paul Scholes. The 27-year-old had two priorities before Saturday’s game: win the match; then get Scholes’ shirt.

LOL ? ur serious ?

omg this guy never saw paul scholes doing smthing special ? Dude, it 's just impossible u never saw his passes from 40m and his vision of game.

But ur certainly a footix who like xavi and iniesta and their 5m passes. cant u remember the scholes goal against ur barça in 2008 ?

'deflected ball'? I'm sure you meant:

"throughout Zambrotta's career at Barcelona he never got many assists but at least he had one he can be truly proud of."

Scholes has a similar mentality to Spanish players when he's on the ball (plays with his head up, always looking to move the ball, etc.)

His tackling has always been awful, though part of me thinks he knew he wouldn't get the ball 95% of the time but was happy to take a booking in exchange for going in hard on the other teams playmaker.
