They could do that to anyone .

Not if they were ‘outstanding’ they couldn’t.

I have to agree with Bill on this one, Scholes was quality in his era. By the time we came along and 'ruined' football he was way past his best.

Knew a staff member had been taken to hospital but where has the drugs overdose come from?

The Mail for one is reporting it as a suspected overdose - nothing on whether it's prescription or illegal.

He got frustrated in the 2011 FA Cup Semi Final and made a hurrendous tackle on Zaba because he wasnt involved in the game.

It wasn't a tackle, it was a pre meditated assault

Baconface said in a press conference that "Paul just can't tackle " when he could.
He was nasty twat and after rasher chops had declared as a poor tackler and it was accepted, the ginger pig was given carte blanche to go studs up on any opponent

It was carte rouge for the attack on Zabba!

Dirty premeditated tackle by the nasty rag twat. Good job Zabba is hard as nails.

At least it was on a consistent loop on sky highlighting it.

Say what you like, Scholes was a top top player. Outstanding for many years.

One of my go to method for winding up rags is to opine that Scholes was on a par with Gareth Barry. Absolutely guaranteed to get them frothing at the mouth. The conversation usually goes something like this:

Me: "Never used to see him much in highlights packages"
Rag(s): "Ah that's because you had to be at the game - his positional sense, movement blah blah blah"
Me: "Oh, that's a bit like Gareth Barry"
Rag(s): "Scholes used to run the game from the base of the diamond - a bit like a quarterback"
Me: "Yeah, so did Gareth Barry"
Rag(s): "WTF. Zidane says Scholes is one of the best players he's ever seen"
Me: "David Silva says Gareth Barry was the player of the season in 2011-2012"
etc etc.

For what it's worth, Scholes was obviously a much better player than Gaz Baz but he was not at the level that rags seem to think. Nowhere near the world class player he was/is made out to be. IMHO

If the rags didn’t get the help from the Fa no one would be creaming their kecks over them. Good players nothing more.

Biggus Dickus he isn't, though.
