BlueSuedeSambas 56,548 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Don't get me wrong Scholes is a wonderful player, but the hype that he's been getting since the start of the season is borderline ridicilous.Every pundit , journo and manager (Wenger apart) have also been bigging him like he's a raw 21 year old who is going to set The Premiership alight for the next decade or so.I take it it's his turn to get the token Player Of The Year award ala Ryan Giggs two years ago?

Cappa 24 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 If there is one player, in fact, two players I wouldn't begrudge winning that award, it's Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes. What's ridiculous is that two years ago was Giggs' first time and if Scholes win this season's, the same will apply to him. That's the real ridiculous thing.

That's the real ridiculous thing.That's pretty much how I feel about it.The fact that they have needed to be given it almost as a "reward" for their contributions is quite sad, because both were good enough and showed the sort of form that should have seen them both win it on merit a decade or so ago.

Flawless 0 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 it is indeed a bit ridiculous. however, if he continues to play as well for the remainder of the season i can see no rerason why he shouldn't get it!i doubt paul scholes will be able to sustain this form though...

ChrisVanDarche 23 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Scholes is past his best, by a good few years now, but he has been a top performer for Man Utd for over a decade now, so I wouldn't begrudge him getting it. I doubt he will win it though - from what I've seen so far, it will be a Chelsea player who wins it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumshie 205 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 To be honest it's the same sort of thing last season when big Davie Weir got one of the awards when Steve Davis was quite clearly the best player in Scotland last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Sasac 164 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I'm not going to jump on the Scholes bandwagon, but the the form he is in just now is brilliant. Rarely gives the ball away, and his passes are always pin point. I can see Drogba getting player of the year though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanFrontGers 1 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Spot on, yes he is still a very good player but it's all about his age. Same when Big Davy won it here last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmrfc1873 48 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 The hype surrounding him after 2 games is ridiculous. Drogba scored 3 in the 1st game and set up 3 in the 2nd and there's been nowhere near the same praise for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 The hype is fair enough, he's performing way beyond the level you'd expect a player his age too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdunsmb 43 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 It's funny how Drogba seems to get overlooked for such praise. Obviously down to his attitude, temper, reputation and the fact he's not English.Last season he scored more leage goals than Rooney in less games, won the Golden Boot but was barely mentioned for player fo the season.

mmrfc1873 48 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 His cross for Kalou's header was sublime.It certainly was, yet we'll hear more about Paul Schole's sublime pass back in 1996 more than Drogba's assist's. I exaggerate for affect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 941 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Get realhe's fucking classhead and shoulders above anyone in England in central midfieldScholes isn't head and shoulders above Steven Gerrard.He's played well for two games this season. I remember a few years ago when Liverpool were half decent and Gerrard used to run rings around Scholes. Both superb players, but at 35, Paul Scholes is NOT a better player than Stevie G.

Amac9 2,060 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 IMO 10 years ago Paul Scholes was a better player than what Steven Gerrard is now.In fact 10 years ago Paul Scholes was one of the best midfielders in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
