  2. Can't believe that Dalglish is there ahead of Redknapp!
    <doh>

    What the hell has Dalglish done, compared with Redknapp?*

    All 50 should be United players or staff.

    Nobody else has influenced anything.

    The only thing Fergie the facking whisky nosed kant influenced was the referees. He should have stayed north of the facking border where the facking kant belongs.

    There you go Chavs, I saved you the time and effort!

    Top voted comment at the moment:
    How the **** is Gerrard below Karren Brady and Scholes omitted entirely?
    Howard Webb will be furious that he's not on there, too.

    Can't be any argument re the no.1. The very best these isles have ever seen and I doubt he'll ever be bettered.

    As a young kid I grew up with greats such as Shanks, Clough and Paisley but AF took it to levels way above any of them.

    Like him or loathe him the man deserves the utmost respect and he has mine in abundance.

    Omitting Scholes sums up English football entitely. Elsewhere in Europe, players of Scholes quality and worshipped.

    In England we rate hit and hopers like Gerrard.

    If Lee Cattermole tackled like Scholes, then he'd spend more time out suspended than Luis Suarez with rabies.

  10. I reckon the reason why old copper-nut went diving into tackles (usually from behind) was because psycho Keane had threatened to deck any one who didn't pull his weight, and I bet he had it in especially for Scholes.

    Scholes never mis-timed a single tackle. The other player moved. <ok>

    Apparently Scholes used to bully Keane. According to someone, Scholes bettered keane 2-1 in am arm wrestling match amd since then, Keanes been Scholes bitch.

    Ask yourself, have you ever heard Keane slate Scholes?

    Indeed, shocking sportsmanship, trying to avoid being crippled by a psychotic carrot top!

  14. Also, what influence has Whinger had on the Prem, other than staying around far too long, like the remnants of an eggy fart? What has been his influence, other than to "not see" every foul committed by your own team but "see" every imagined foul by the opposition?

    Oh, and showing us why wearing a duvet will never catch on as a fashion statement?

    He's not even been good for Arsenal. Perhaps at the start, when he was living off the hard work of the bloke he replaced, but he soon got found out.

    Again, Redknapp has done more for English football than garlic boy!*

  15. That says more about how soft Keane must be, than it does about how hard Scholes is!

    Scholes runs 17 street gangs in Oldham. Hes also a small village just outside of Leeds.

    Players should be honoured to be tackled by a Vastly superior player and man.

    Well, being tackled by Scholesy was certainly vastly different for most players, whether they'd agree it was vastly superior, I'm not so sure.

    Redknapp has been good at overspending and offering silly wages t

    Every player who played V UTD wished to be tackled by Lord Scholes, just ask them, go on ask them
