If you're from London you should support a team from London.

I'm not from London there's no Premier League/Championship team near me for about 35 miles so i can support whoever i want imo. The closest thing i have to alright football is Stevenage who just got promoted to League One!

Also, at the time i chose the team it was in the early 90's so Liverpool were by far the most successful club in England at the time.

Not only that but Arsenal had won the same amount of league titles as United back then. So the glory hunter thing is completely irrelevant.

Goodbye to Paul Scholes, legend, one of the best midfielders to come out of Britain, and the guy who Zidane said was the best midfielder of his generation.



"My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder. Scholes is undoubtedly the greatest midfielder of his generation" – Zinedine Zidane


"For me, it's Paul Scholes. He'll do ridiculous things in training like say: 'You see that tree over there?' – it'll be 40 yards away – 'I'm going to hit it.' And he'll do it. Everyone at the club considers him the best" – Rio Ferdinand


"Paul Scholes would have been one of my first choices for putting together a great team – that goes to show how highly I have always rated him. An all-round midfielder who possesses quality and character in abundance" – Marcello Lippi


"I tell anyone who asks me – Scholes is the best English player" – Laurent Blanc


"Without any doubt the best player in the Premiership has to be Paul Scholes. He knows how to do everything, and he is the one who directs the way his team plays. On top of that, he has indestructible mental strength, and he is a genuine competitor" – Thierry Henry


"People say he is a great player, but you have to define what a great player is. For me, it is a player who has a bottom level that means his worst performance is not noticed. If he is having a bad game, a team-mate might feel Paul Scholes is not quite on his game, but a spectator wouldn't notice. Scholes, of all the players I have played with, has the highest bottom level. His reading of the game is unsurpassed. He has an eye for a pass, for what the play or the game needs at that precise moment, that I have never seen anyone else have. He controls and distributes the play and the game better than anyone I have ever seen" – Peter Schmeichel


"Everyone of us should emulate him. We can all learn from Paul Scholes" – Edgar Davids


"I have no hesitation in putting a name to the embodiment of all that I think is best about football. It's Paul Scholes. Many great players have worn the shirt of Manchester United. Players I worshipped, then lost with my youth in Munich. Players like Denis Law and George Best who I enjoyed so much as team-mates and now, finally, players I have watched closely in the Alex Ferguson era. And in so many ways Scholes is my favourite. I love his nous and conviction that he will find a way to win, to make the killer pass or produce the decisive volley. When a game reaches a vital phase, these qualities seem to come out of his every pore. He's always on the ball, always turning on goal. He's always looking to bring other people into the action and if he loses possession you think he must be ill" – Sir Bobby Charlton

High praise indeed from some of the most respected names in world football

So basically you chose a team from the other side of the country in the early nineties when they won the double so you can't be a glory hunter because they'd only just had massive success?

I want Alvaro Morata to play moar for next season, he can be the new Raul!

I don't know how people can support a team thats miles away from them. I think there is no excuse for not supporting a team from your city.

In London there is loads of Man Utd supporters and i think its a disgrace. 99% of them have never stepped foot in Manchester let alone Old Trafford. Its like being English and saying you support Brazil.
