Between the headline of this post and the information laid out in this one, our regular readers are probably starting to think there’s some kind of editorial bias against Manchester United here. And to that I say: Just because this site is run by a Chelsea fan, an Arsenal fan, a Wigan fan, a couple of Tottenham Hotspur fans, a couple of Aston Villa fans, and one neutral doesn’t mean that’s true. Come on, United fans. You’ve all seen Paul Scholes tackle. He’s really, really bad at it. And I assume you’ve seen Mathieu Valbuena play. He’s like 5’3”. He makes Messi look like Godzilla. Paul Scholes could breathe on him and he’d go flying.Scholes is going to get sent off for hacking him down.This is going to happen. I’m sorry.
Manchester United FC Vs. Marseille, 2011 UEFA Champions League: Mathieu Valbuena Will Draw A Red Card From Paul Scholes
The best part is that Valbuena won’t be starting for Marseille. He’ll come in around the 60th minute, at which point Ferguson will have been contemplating subbing Scholes off. As Darron Gibson walks up to the fourth official, Scholes will chop at Valbuena, two-footed, from behind. Just two minutes after Valbuena came into the game. Without Scholes on the pitch, United puts all ten men behind the ball and holds off Marseille, sealing a 0-0 result after 90 minutes that sends us to extra time.
Come on, literally none of you will be shocked if this happens.
