Wenger: Scholes is a dirty player

(1/3) > >>

Arsenal's boss claims the Manchester United veteran has 'a darker side' and insisted: "I'm sorry, for me he's not been a fair player."

The comments will anger United boss Alex Ferguson especially as Scholes, 35, produced a star-man display in Monday's 3-0 win against Newcastle.

It is not the first time Wenger has singled out a United player. Last season he intimated Darren Fletcher constantly got away with fouling.

When asked about Scholes, Wenger said: "Who wouldn't want a quality player like Paul Scholes in his team?

"But ask me if he's been a fair player, I say no. I'm sorry, for me he's not been fair.

"There's a little bit of a darker side in him. I don't like some things he does.

"It's not because you are older suddenly that you are a saint."

Asked if there was a specific tackle he had in mind, such as Scholes' reckless challenge on Jose Reyes in the 2004 FA Cup semi-final, Wenger said: "With Paul Scholes you have more than one.

"I can remember a few. Unfair? Of course."

Scholes yesterday admitted he made a mistake snubbing Fabio Capello's last-minute World Cup call.

He said: "I wish I had gone. I made the wrong decision but I only had a couple of hours to decide."

He can't tackle I'd agree with that, but Arsenal haven't had a midfielder of Scholes' ability at any point in the past 15 years while Scholes has been around. Maybe Vieira in his prime but not much else. Scholes is and has been one of Man Utd's best players and unsung heroes for over a decade.

Scholes is one of the best english midfielders EVER, but he's even a fuckin butcher. Maybe only Roy Keane is more bastard than him  ;D

I do not see the word "dirty" in these quotes.
