Scholes The Pundit
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/f...-10183496.html
Few gems " I have high hopes that my friend Ryan Giggs will be handed the reins at Manchester United at some point having served an apprenticeship under Louis van Gaal." Oh God "As for Young, I imagine he has benefited from Ryan Giggs’ belief in wide players." Erm.....No "Amidst all this revival spirit I should point one thing out. United are putting the results together now with the pressure off" What???? |

The pressure is very much off ffs - in case people hadn't noticed United have virtually no chance of winning a title. Last time we played with a chance of winning a title we lost - at home.
Is it really a coincidence that only after that did United begin to play? Isn't this the same as we've seen from other also-rans in past seasons closing the gap when we're busy battling for the title at the top? Yes we need to qualify for the CL, but £#%&!ing hell, we're Manchester United and we've just spent over £200m on players in less than 2 years, so good as the current run has been the context is not exactly the highest pressure football matches where trophies are at stake. Slagging off Scholes for this is pathetic and clueless tbh; this is a bloke who's won 11 league titles and cups galore - I reckon he might just know a bit more about it than most... Until United have started next season as they look like finishing this one, well yes, then we can talk about being contenders and that's when the real pressure matches are played. Hard to believe that all United fans don't understand this tbh. Then again, this is the internet and top reds all over they shop like nothing better than slagging off United legends, apparently |

there's pressure on the games to make the top 4, yes. but relative to the pressure United should be playing under at this stage of a season it's well down the scale. I haven't read the scholes thing but i'm pretty sure that's what he would be getting at. hey, i'm enjoying this run as much as the next man, but let's keep it in its proper context. we're basically stooping to conquer at the moment. let's see how it goes when we've got some actual silverware to chase. this is merely the foreplay |
