He's completely running the show.
Paul Scholes is sexy!

Fantastic first half from Paul, but I still feel that if they close him down they will nullify his passing qualities. They gave too much time on the ball.
He has bossed the midfield. Amazing player.
He needs to stop those 60 yard balls. They're giving me multiple orgasms on a more frequent basis than before and my family are getting worried.
Some of his touches have been world class. You hear all these comparisons but I don't think we could have had it any better then what we get from scholesy.
He's easily the best midfielder the Premiership has ever had. Brilliant today.
Lets wank over Paul Scholes. 
Great player. Please don't retire. Ever.

Nice to hear from him at the end there, interviews with him are a rare pleasure.
Scholes was not even looking at Vidic when lifted the shield 
What a fecking great player he is. Every year the doom-mongers tell us how we will collapse because we can't rely on him any longer, and he comes out and shows us yet again how simple football can be... if only you had his class.
Flawless passing.
pings it, just pings it!
And when the sheild came back towards him, he just let it go past him as if he had held it up earlierScholes was not even looking at Vidic when lifted the shield
He scores goals galore, he scores goals!
Headache to find a successor to Scholes. There isn't.
Irreplaceable. Unfortunately.
My favourite United player and a legend, we have a massive gap to fill when he retires
True. He's a bit of a once off. We can talk about needing to sign Ozil or whomever all we want, but nobody will ever fill the gap left when Scholes is gone.
What makes Scholes so awesome is his modest reaction to his genuis.He shrugged off his MOTM today-he's a team player not an ego like so many in the game.
All he needs to do is sit in midfield, moving a few yards this way or that way, making his awesome passes. Like that, he could still play until he's 64.
Pretty much what I was going to post. He was never the quickest player anyway, so its not like losing a yard of pace every season is going to do him harm!
Pardon the American Football analogy, but he's almost a quarterback!
his success rate when passing the ball is ridiculous...what a player! when he plays, we play!
Can't we just clone him FFS
feck me we'll never get another Paul Scholes, you can shove your Xavi's, Fabregas and Ozils up yours.
He is a quarterback in more ways then one...have you seen a quarterback try to tackle a defensive linesman or a cornerback after throwing an interception.
Scholesy fits the role perfectly
What a player. We're all going to miss him so much when he hangs his boots.
When he plays like this he just makes everyone around him look so much worse at football.

I wish I could meet Scholes, just so I could kneel before him and praise him.
Doesn't matter, best thing Scholes does is work the ball in tight space. When they close him down he still makes space from nowhere, and it just means they have more committed players out of the game. No-ones figured out how to nullify Scholes in a decade and a half. When he's on it, United are dominant in the middle
What a player he is. For all I love Cantona, Giggs, Robson etc... He's the first player I'm telling my grand kids about. When I was a young lad, there was this awkward ginger lad, that went by the name of Paul...
Is Keane better than Scholes?
I have to admit, Keane wasn't this good when he was this old.
Scholes' football brain is just unreal. I actually felt Rooney was similar but I have to take that back. Scholes is fecking artist on the ball. Better than your Xavi's of this world.

Have to say for me Scholes is only behind Ronnie and Zidane when it comes to the best CM in the last 2 decades. He's in a league of his own, very complex midfielder, genius when it comes to passing, excellent shooting, vision, controls the tempo.. When in his prime he easily walks into any team.
Keane was a true leader, very different to Scholes in his role, legend of course, hard to compare them.
As for Xavi, it's hard to compare 35 year old Scholes to prime Xavi. If they are the same age, I would take Scholes over him any day of the week. Scholes has bossed our midfield for like over 15 years now, Xavi is well off that standard at the time. And since legends like Zidane say he's/was the best midfielder of his generation I do think he would choose him over Xavi as well.
Why has Scholes been doing so many interviews lately?
Hope he carries on for a couple more seasons and settles into a nice coaching job at the club
he had to do one today, picked up as MOTM and all.
He's ducked interviews before even if he was given MOTM. Players aren't compelled to give interviews under those circumstances.
Generally, he's done a lot more media stuff of late than he ever has before.
this
yeah he has before, but this was one short interview on the pitch, don't even consider it as a proper one..
I'd pretty much agree with all this. Zidane and Ronaldinho are the only 2 midfielders I can think of who were better than Scholes. He was a different class to Xavi in his prime.
I'm going to make a prediction, this might be a bit RAWKish tho
Scholes is going to be fecking man this year, running the show whenever he plays, and we'll win atleast 2 major trophies this season...he's going to put Xavi and Iniesta in their boxes.
This will also be his last season though.
