Giggs too coming on for the last 20 is fine, both starting together ( unless we were playing Darlington FC ) is madness

Was bought his 'autobiography' for Christmas, read it while the kettle was on.
Highlights include:
He doesn't care about his hair.
Multiple quips about his age.
He was actually a bit of a chubster until the '98 World Cup
He didn't know what Spag Bol was until he was 20.
The only real insight was his attitude towards international games. He liked Sven and he had no problem paying on the left of midfield. He just didn't like being away, never felt he performed and was actually somewhat relieved when they were knocked out of tournaments.

Im hoping this was just a lapse in memory on Paul's part!
Non story. He'll just pull out of the race if we do reach the final.
Like a boss.
Can't see him playing beyond this season. He's been pretty shite in the last few games he has played.
Looks fininshed big time. fecking legend though

Passing was all over the shop against Fulham, legs look gone.

Agree with the above. First time I noticed that he wasn't pulling off his trademark diagonal balls successfully was on Sunday.
Yes it was, still think it was just a one-off.
It's not a one off.
His form hasn't been great recently, but the passing has still been top notch (bar the last game). He's not able to play well week in week out but I'm sure we'll see a few maestro performances from him this season.
It's difficult to say, only half a year ago the general consensus was Scholes would play longer than Giggs - now that Giggs looks like 25 years old it's the other way round.

Only the player and the manager know what is likely to happen at the end of the season. I think he should play on for another season.
If he is barely contributing to the collective then he really shouldn't. We all love Scholes but there must be a time when enough is enough. I just can't see him providing the necessary contribution for another season.
Giggs appears to be different....everything is still effortless.
he hasnt been on his best form recently but we should all remember giggs was taking some awful abuse for the first couple of months of the season while van persie was publicly lauding scholes as their game changer. someone mentioned it in another thread,some act like if youre less than 30 bad form means bad form, if youre more than 30 youre nearing the end. hes in a bad patch of form and one sub appearance against fulham doesnt mean hes lost a god given gift of passing.whatever his form this season his passing has been immaculate apart from fulham. childish to suggest thats a sign of anything more than a bad game.
With a few players needing to be registered next season, I doubt we'd want to keep a player in Scholes who very rarely plays.
Can understand your thoughts behind this, but lets be fair, a lot rests on PS at end of season, he hasn't said he is staying yet has he? If anything, I think its more likely Giggs will play on a bit further than Scholes IMO, still, time will tell
If he runs to work he might find his legs again, fantastic development.
If I was given one of those cars, I'd leave it running in the hope that someone would nick it too.
Company car.
Considering he has a pass success rate of about 92% this season, I'm pretty sure it was just a one off.
I will say the same thing about Scholes that I said about Giggs earlier this season when everyone was on his back... Paul Scholes will, at some point, contribute significantly to us winning a game of football in this second half of the season.
Scholesy playing his part as a company man by taking a Chevrolet.
He also enjoys Mr Potato snacks and a few shots of Smirnoff on officially designated "Alcohol Consumption Days". That's just how Paul rolls.
Don't forget his tasteful yet expensive mansion is decorated using Kansai Paint.
No doubt he had Mamee noodles and a glass of Wahaha for his dinner last night too.
I once saw him in PC World with a very anguished expression on his face. I looked closer and saw he was standing by a selection of printers. He appeared to be most interested in two in particular: one was Epson, the other Toshiba. He looked genuinely at a loss as to which he should procure, given both esteemed companies are official United partners.
I walked over to him and said, as gently and soothingly as I could: "Paul, I would go with Epson, mate."
"Better quality?" he asked, grateful of the assistance in his hour of need.
"No," I replied. "Its just that Epson are the official office supplies sponsor. Whereas Toshiba are for medical supplies. Are your printing needs medical in nature, Paul?"
"No," said he. "It is for the kids, mostly. For school, and for the wife to print out her discount vouchers."
"Epson it is then," I said.
Whereupon he picked up the box, nodded his head in thanks and proceeded to the cash register to pay.
Salt of the earth company man, is Mr Scholes.

Quality.Brilliant! I've bumped into a few United and ex United players randomly but would love to meet Scholes, just would be a humbling experience.
Brilliant story... especially the bit in bold!
Yeah. That was the bit that told me that Simon, like many of us, has to listen to his missus endlessly banging on about fecking Groupon.
His Dad had him when he was TWELVE YEARS OLD
He was 50 back in 2007.
ah ha, that'll teach me not to read the entire article.
Got this from the article.
He hasn't changed
I love Scholes he's a legend but he has very much become a half season player. In the year that he retired he had a fantastic August and September and towards the second half of the season his performances started to wane that I'd been saying it was time for him to retire.
He came out of retirement and had been fantastic last season having had so much time out of the game but now were seeing parallels to the season he retired. He started out fantastic but again his form is dipping and he doesn't have the legs to keep carrying through. I'd play him in a midfield 3 as he still has magnificent feet and vision but I don't think he has the legs to cut it in a midfield 2 anymore.
I do think this season needs to be his last, he's a club legend but its time for us to move forward and look to the future.

love Scholes. how anyone could do this to that man I've no idea.
surprised me though that the car wasn't in his garage. surely a man in his position would have a 2 or 3 car garage?

It was running, though mate.
I suppose I'm lazy. I'd rather park it inside so I don't need to clear the dew off it in the mornings, or have it roasting hot in the summer.
He is in rented accommodation whilst he has his house extended.
