Scholes, ITV disgrace

[Bluep*ss]

My issue was he had his intro all worked out before a ball had even be kicked.

He mentioned our fans in a piece with the Independent the other week. He's since allowed that to percolate in his tiny-red infested mind.

I'm sure it sounded quite clever in his head, he had it all worked out, also dovetailed quite nicely with the empty seats backdrop 15 minutes before kick-off.

Show me a ground outside of Turkey or Greece where this supposed stadium is full and bouncing in anticipation.

He cited the shit hole, Arsenal Liverpool and Chelsea.

Do me a fucking favour.

75,000 empty fucking seats at one particular ground last night, eh?[/quote]

Best comment I have seen for ages. Must remember to mention it to any rags I see.

Just a thought - I am not on twitter or facebook - but someone should "Tweet" the above fact to Camelgob. How is it that O/T was so empty
last night?.....oh wait - I'm sorry , forgot you are not in Europe. Chuckle

It's very interesting to note just how little Scholes and Ferdinand know about the glorious history of their illustrious club. I bet they've never pointed out to anyone that the scum were in their fourth season of the CL before they actually got within a thousand fans of OT's capacity. I bet they've never pointed out that their match at OT in 1994 against Barcelona got only 40000 fans, that their highest attendance was against Sheffield Wednesday that season and the Barcelona gate didn't find its way into United's top ten that season, all of which were PL matches. And they were increasing the capacity of OT -"what for?" to quote a phrase. Then, even when they were defending holders in 2000 the crowd were so silent until their team was so far behind at 0-3 that it was asked if anyone was actually there - until we heard a pathetic, submissive whimper of "United". Even when your team used to be in the CL fans only went to watch when UEFA gave you such easy groups that even your team could qualify - and then the could only be heard when the game was won, as Basel showed. After all, Paul and Wio, "prawn sandwich brigade" was coined to describe your fans, not ours.

Brilliant.

Is this the level we've come too?

Blame everyone apart from ourselves? Fuck the excuses for not being there tonight, I'm sick of hearing the shit spouted on here to justify their decision not to go and support the lads. Everyone who normally goes but didn't bother tonight is the reason Scholes had us on toast tonight. its your fault not his.

For all you conspiracy theorists who think we are being stitched up let me draw you another scenario. Scholes and ITV turn up tonight to find a packed stadium with a hostile atmosphere that drives the team on to a glorious victory. How much fun would Scholes have had then?

I had 8 rows of empty seats in front of me as I watched from my season ticket in tier 3 of the East stand. Disgrace. "We've not taken to it", "the ticket prices", "I can't afford it", PATHETIC. Are our fans really the poorest people in football? Really?, the scoucers who have fuck all will sell out every CL match. It was the crowd who dragged them over the line in their last game in the CL.

Tonight we had no crowd, hence no atmosphere and no passion. Sheikh Mansour must wonder why he bothered.

Either support City or don't. Get to the game, forget the excuses, find a way, and make yourself heard. Period.

This is a good post and hard to disagree with. However the original point is about Scholes and his obvious loyalties and dislike of City. No one's blaming him on the defeat but it's worth the point about his clear bias against City ( I thought the ginger twat was ready to burst out laughing!)and why, and how ITV saw fit to bring the tramp in as a pundit for this game??? He has no wish to give any praise or plaudits to City as a team or club, and Lee Dixon who is a blue is much to professional to tell him to 'just fuck up!!' Never mind the fact Scholes is an ex dyed in the wool red (Oldham.......never) and as a pundit is absolutely awful.Should never have been on that show for that match. He enjoyed that result just slightly less than a defeat. He really is a hateful fucker.

o

But we wasn't defeated!

Now had chance to play back the recording. After Chiles brings the conversation back to football it’s as follows:

Chiles: "When does a group of not mercanaries exactly but greatly talented and much travelled individuals become a team with a capital T"

Scholes: "I think in England this is a team innit. It is the best team in England without a shadow of doubt. I think (they are) the best team of players but they have just not produced on European nights and sometimes you do need a little bit of help. You are right, the players do need to spark it, they need to produce goals and they need to produce good performances but sometimes you do need that little bit of help from the fans as well"

In isolation what he says there is spot on.

When ITV showed the picture Vinny which quotes him as saying this team has great team spirit, Scholes was asked did he think we had great team spirit, he smirked and said no he didn't. How the fuck does he have the credentials to answer this and why was he asked.

Despite some stiff completion Scholes must be the worst pundit there is. My one solace was that ITV were losing CL football at the end of the season. I was gutted to read, this morning, that they may be negotiating with BT to show some of the matches.

I haven't watched my recording of the game yet but if that's an accurate reflection of Scholes's comments I'm not sure what the fuss is about.

Chiles is just a clueless arsehole.
