I didn't say that nolhman, I said Lampard is better than Scholes and the stats back me up. What backs you up? Zidane & Xavi haven't played in the premiership so you can't use that.

Haha Lampard better then scholes, come on man what planet are you living on. Lampard is a very good player but scholes is just a class above.
 
About time the Ginger tosser.

In all fairness, been a great loyal player to you guys.
 
Scholes is easily the most technically gifted player England have ever produced, and the best striker of a football I've ever seen, he strikes a football in the same way Tiger Woods strikes a golf ball, to perfection every time. I'd like to wish him a happy retirement and thank him for all the years of service!

Ignore this Ginger fool, I recall all the drivle he used to write on 606. Il explain to him just why Scholes is better than Lampard. Scholes throughout his career has had to play in a 4 man midfield were he has had to defend and attack, he has had to be disciplined and play as an allround midfield player, Lampard for most of his career has played in a 5 man midfield were he has been allowed to get forward whenever he has wanted, with no defensive responsibilities, effectively he was playing as a 2nd striker for many years, and penalty taker, Lampard is a 1 trick pony, plain and simple!

We've all seen how crap Lampard has been for England when he has had to play in a 4 man midfield, he's useless as he doesn't have the ability to run a midfield with great passing and technical ability, Lampard was effective in the position he played for Chelsea in the 451 formation, but take him out of his comfort zone ie England, and he was exposed as a very average footballer! :biggrin:

<ok>
 
Don't feed the troll Valencia. Scholes and Lampard are completely different players, he's just trying to wum you. Based on "the stats" Darron Gibson is better than Mikel <ok>

No wum intended just facts but it was just a passing observation and they aren't as different as you say when you consider Lampard replaced Scholes for England when he said he was passed it. But his entitled to his opinion as I am mine and mine is with the man who has scored more and made more assists and made more appearances for club & country.

Looks like everybody's happy :)

One trick pony <laugh> that my friend describes you very aptly at least I haven't changed my name like you because you were considered a complete twat <ok>

Drivel backed with proof as opposed to blinkered love of anything red. Just look at Lampards goal tally for England as opposed to Scholes? So by your criteria if Lampard is bad what does that make Scholes? <2cents>

Well fair enough, you are of course entitled to your opinion. Tho' I doubt you'll find many to agree with you, given the number of commentators, players and managers who believe Scholes is the best England midfielder of the last twenty years. I may be wrong, but I can't remember any unbiased observers saying that about Lampard?

And talking about how Lampard replaced Scholes in the England midfield is probably not the wisest way to support your argument when you think how badly the England midfield has performed since Scholesy hung up his boots. If I was being harsh, I might even say he's been a second rate replacement at best. If I was being harsh that is... :)
 
Why are you even on our board, you are just a Wum, coming on the United board on the day of Paul Scholes retirement to tell us Lampard is a better, a ridiculous comment only made to provoke a reaction, how sad must your life be :biggrin:
 
Absolutely gutted I wont be seeing Scholes play again :( quite simply a Legend. Along with Giggs my fav players of all time. Wish him all the best and thank him for all the wonderful memories. We shoudl have him ,Giggs and Sir Alex cloned!!

Its called debate you plank, its what makes it work! **** me you lot are worse than the Borg, collective cock suckers.
 
As a gooner ( someone has to be) and as much as this stings i would just like to add that Paul Scholes is a Man UTD great, one of only a few man u players i respected, played his football with total commitment, kept his head down and is worthy of the the title of legend , theres a good deal of footballers out there who could learn a thing or two from him. Sad to hear of his retirement, if you can keep him in a coaching role, your youngsters will be set!

Tackled like a combine harvester on an ice rink though! only bad point
