Article in the MUEN saying Sir Fungusface recons Scholes can play 'til he's 40. I really hope he does, along with Giggs & G*ry N*ville alongside new £7mil signing Harry Ramp, who should be starting to show his talent by then. With the advances in medical techniques perhaps a cybernetically enhanced Bobby Charlton could join them along with the re-animated corpse of Duncan Edwards (although that could prove too expensive)

"Wake up Scholesy lad we've got a game!" " Come on now"

"He's dead Sir Alex"

"No no he's not...wake up lad"

United continue to have to lean on Scholes and Giggs, and are lucky the two of them have looked after themselves. The fact they are still pivotal figures for them at their ages also highlights they havent been replaced either due to United buying badly (eg Carick, Hop a long Hargreaves, Anderson) and then becoming skint and now shopping for tramps.

Sooner rather than later Scholes or Giggs legs will go, fact.

....to be fair to baconface that was typical of the MUEN misquoting...., what he actually said was...

"... jeez I am fucked!!! no transfer money - fading club reputation - cannot afford top wages - giggs and scholes are way past their sell by date but I cannot get replacements so I am going to need them to play until their 40 at least!!!"
