    Hmm, the post isn't about best player in the premiership though, is it?

    Zidane was asked who was his toughest ever opponent and he said Scholes. He went on to say how Scholes is the complete player. Other players have said similar.

    I would personally discard quotes that were replys to questions directly about Scholes, it would be silly to think much of them.



    Another factor in the voting here is that aswell as there being alot of ABUs, there's also alot of Barcelona fanboys who will vote Xavi without thinking.

    Here's another quote from Pique about the two of them..
    “I think they are two of the best players I have ever seen. With the ball they are fantastic. I remember one day I was talking with Xavi and he said, for him, Paul Scholes was one of the best players he had ever seen. I think the two like each other because they like the same football and it's really beautiful.”

    If Xavi was born in England and played with Paul Scholes in the national side, England would have won 3 world cups.

    Never said that.

    my point is number of ABUs and barca fanboys >>>>>>>> single minded united fans

    Unfortunately theres not a whole lot of people outside these groups.

    Those that are actually contibuted decent points to the discussion.

    He was a good player Bill not a great player springs to mind.

    I would have Hughes in any United team everyday of the week ahead of him.

    Legend. ;)

    That almost made me cry (I know I know) but it was around the time when I first knew who was who and really started to watch United. Of course I had no choice with my Dad being who he is!!

    This thread is getting silly now. I wonder what Scholes and Xavi would think if they read this... lets all move on, I was worse to get involved in it!
