Scholes is 'still fantastic' - Fergie

Sir Alex Ferguson said Paul Scholes 'showed the same things he's shown for the last 10 years' in Manchester United's win over Bolton.

The Red Devils' chief has already hit out at some of the negativity surrounding the club's decision to bring the 37-year-old former England international midfielder out of retirement.
However, Ferguson's case was boosted on Saturday when Scholes was on target just before half time in United's 3-0 win against struggling Bolton at Old Trafford.
Danny Welbeck and Michael Carrick were also on target as United moved level on points with rivals Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, but Ferguson was quick to praise Scholes afterwards.
"He showed the same things he's shown for the last 10 years," he said.
"When he was a younger player [scoring like that] was his forte.
"Why he goes in there at that time of the game, when we are saying just sit in the middle of the park and control things, only his judgement can do that. And it was an important goal.
"Some of the press has been very negative about [his return] but I can understand that that's probably because it's United but he's still a fantastic player," Ferguson added.
"Over the last few months he's been training with the reserves and the young players have been in awe of him.
"He's been in intensive training the last few weeks to get back to where he is now."

Etymology

The word "scouse" is a shortened form of "lobscouse", derived from the Norwegian lapskaus (and/or the Low German Labskaus), a word for a meat stew commonly eaten by sailors. In the 19th century, people who commonly ate "scouse" such as local dockers families and sailors became known as "scousers" especially in the North end of Liverpool and the "Wallasey Pool".

And in case your still wondering what scouse is see below, it's actually quite nice and the people of Liverpool take the nickname "scouse" or "scousers" from this very dish.

SCOUSE INGREDIENTS
Serves 4-6 people

Half a Pound of Stewing Steak
Half a Pound of Lambs Breast
A Large Onion
1lb of Carrots
5lb of Potatoes
2 Oxo Cubes ( stock cubes)
2 Teaspoons of Vegatable Oil
Worcester Sauce
Salt and Pepper
Water

HOW TO COOK
Takes 4 hours of slow cooking

Cut the meat into large cubes and fry in the vegatable oil until lightly browned all over. You may wish to add some Worcester Sauce at this point for added flavour.

Transfer the meat to a large saucepan and add the onion that should have been chopped into large chunks. Follow this by chopping the carrot into medallions and place this on the meat. Peel and then Finely dice 1lb of the potatoes and place on top of the carrots.

Fill the pan with cold water until it is half full. Break up the Oxo cubes and sprinkle into the water. Add salt and pepper for seasoning. Let the pan simmer gently, stirring occasionally. The large pieces of onion will start to break up and the potato will become soft and will make the final sauce thick.

Simmer for a total of two hours, then add the remaining potatoes that should have been peeled and roughly chopped, along with a few splashes of Worcester Sauce. Then simmer for another two hours.

Serve piping hot with red cabbage, and on top of Welsh Rarebit

Nice but give me egg and chips any day

Well what can i say about Saturdays game!!
I didn't think we played that well agaist a poor Bolton team, Welbeck Carrick and Valencia played the best for me, Scholes although he scored had a poor game, also thought Nani was below par and Rooney, It really gets on my tits that players getting paid all the money can't miss the first man when taking corners and free kicks, FFS, Its the F*ckin basic of a game, Anyway still 3 points and a clean sheet, you win leagues by winning when playing poor, We have some really big games coming up I think this is our hardest part of the season, So we need a big push now, I was not expecting it to be this tight in the league this year, i recon there is still 4 teams in it this year!! Come on UNITED.

ZINEDINE ZIDANE: Steve Gerrard is the 'best player in the world'


Football legend Zinedine Zidane has called Steven Gerrard the best player in the world.

Speaking before Liverpool's crunch game with rivals Manchester United at the weekend, he said: "Is he the best in the world? He might not get the attention of [Lionel] Messi and [Cristiano] Ronaldo but yes, I think he just might be. If you don't have a player like Steven Gerrard, who is the engine room, it can affect the whole team."
