Pretty much the entirety of a generation of La Masia graduates, including Xavi and Iniesta, grew up citing Paul Scholes as an influence tbf. 

 

It's not made up quotes.

Iniesta even named his son after him. 

 

Like, feel free to dislike the guy, you're allowed your opinion fair play but Scholes was very highly regarded by fellow professionals across Europe. 

I’m not sure if you’re serious

Been watching true blood on sky boxsets recently.

 

I find the sookie stackhouse character realy irritating. Just cant stand her or see the fascination in her by the opposite sex.

Wrong thread?

 

I liked True Blood. The ginger vampire is miles fitter than Anna Paquin though. No not Paul Scholes...

It peeded me off, so thought it would fit into this thread. 

 

I think the ginger one is Jessica. My favourites (for obvious reasons) were dawn, amy and daphne. All waitresses at merlottes.

Fair play, if its a bit of a text written on a picture on the internet then it must be genuine.

 

Like how Mahatma Gandhi once advised that one should never back the early kick off.

I'm not sure if you are tbf. 

He was top class and I don’t doubt that the top players rated him highly but come on. As for Iniesta naming his son after him lol

I appreciate the Iniesta's son bit could absolutely full well be rubbish and I may well have just bitten there but I've sat and watched interviews with my own two eyes of Xavi and others from Barcelona's academy talk about how they looked up to him and how he was discussed at La Masia. 

 

There's articles from credible newspapers and UEFA themselves I've just posted above quoting interviews from Xavi and others claiming he was someone they aspired to emulate for his range of passing, reading of space and retention of the ball. 

 

For what it's worth, Xavi goes on to revere Gascoigne, Barnes and other English midfielders as well and was extremely vocal about being a big fan of English football growing up.

If you had to name a Premier League XI since it began in 1992, Scholes would not make the squad, let alone the starting X1. In terms of ability Xabi Alonso was far superior in every aspect of his game.

Scholes and Xabi Alonso were two different types of midfielder though.

 

Anyway, everyone's midfield would probably involve trying to put Gerrard and Lampard together.

I'm not that old and I'm certainly not miserable and I understand you wanting to spend time with your kids. However, particularly during the busy hectic festive shopping period, parents should take a look around at the lengthy queues at the checkouts and say "not today" when their offspring are already whinging. 

Or you can go shopping on quieter times 🧐
