Anyone else tired of Andy Gray laughing at Paul Scholes' thuggery?

Paul Scholes takes his tackling to the next level. .

We might see thuggery if de jong could get near a united player with the ball:D

Oh my LOL... U gonna watch the second half so?

Brutal game so far. City with the majority of the possession without looking threatening. United looking very one paced but comfortable.

Rafael earning massive man love points for his handbags with Tevez.

Ha! You must have missed all those top notch tackles he's laid in the first half, like where he robbed Nani, headed off down the wing, and drew a foul.

Best defensive midfielder in the league :cool:

How many are there now a days though? Too many midfielders that are good at an all round game to play a restricted player like that (as much as I do enjoy a bruiser)

He's on the thug scale, he's a persistent offender. If i had to make a comparison i'd compare him to a petty criminal rather than a murderer. He knows what he's at.

In comparison to De Jong hes mother theresa . . Hes nearly at the end of his career and has never caused serious injury to anybody . . Quit sucking lemons and get over it . .

Thats where you're going wrong, Try compare him to a footballer and you'll see how stupid your original comparison was.

Xavi6

Looks like Rafael didn't fully recover from the might of Carlos. Soft.

:cool:

Drumpot

Brown with a tache. . Looks like a mexican jumping bean cartoon character . .

De Jong is far along the thug scale, near where thuggery meets brutality, i make no excuses for that man.

Enough of that.

Rafael not so tough now.

Peyton Manning

Good ol' Brown sporting the "I wouldn't trust you with my kids" tache.

Drumpot

Andy Gray basically says city spend 250mil mainly on attacking players so they could hire a manager who likes to have a compact defencive team . .

He is still not wearing a scarf . .

Peyton Manning

I don't know why, but it's really irritating me this season the way commentators follow a players name with a very obvious, irrelevant description, i.e. "Here's Darren Fletcher, the Scottish international"

Why? Who else does that? That's like walking into the kitchen and saying "Hello Mum, the woman who conceived me".

Who's ur Nani

Insect Overlord

Great move, Berbatov unlucky there.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Fcuking idiots on ESPN, talking about bringing on Adebayor to help Tevez - "well that would be a very bold move, that means he actually gooing out to win the game" in a very sincere tone...

Drumpot

United dominating . . Getting worried, this has United play well and lose written all over it . .

Edit: Berbs is having a decent game . .

JohnnyRyan99

Their point is not unreasonable tbh.

Insect Overlord

Is "functionalism" a real word?

Peyton Manning

It's so obvious that Berbatov absolutely hates Nani

Insect Overlord

What's he lying down for?

Drumpot

I wouldnt mind if Adebayer came on, if he scored he would waste all his energy trying to find an Arsenal fan to rub in their face . .

How many fouls does Tevez have to clock up to get a yellow. Scholes had 3...

Nice bit of play from Brown and Fletch.
We're not great tonight, but we've been playing decent enough football in parts.

Scholsey's were all cynical, some might say thuggish. Therein lies the difference.

Peyton Manning

Our passing really has been great tonight. Very fluid and a lovely tempo. So refreshing after some of the dross we've served up this season.

Nailz

I might sound like a broken record at this stage, but Vidic is a genius, smartest defender I've ever seen!

Drumpot

Ass me B*llix . . Another injury . . FFS . . Sick of the injuries . .

Xavi6

FFS Bobby, get AJ on to run at O'Shea.

Has anyone else besides yourself thrown the word "thug" or its derivatives at Scholes in this thread?

Refs wont always know if players are being cynical or not . .

I have Two words for you my friend "persistant fouling" . . It exists , not just for united players . .
