He has been sh*t for the past few years, it all went down hill since his two goals against Scotland. Euro 2004 was a mess with him out on the left, Sven would have kept picking him even if he did play out of position.

Lampard is a better player than Scholes.

going gracefully me reckons, think its clear that its now

beckham, gerrard, lampard and a left sided player*

owen rooney

so no place in midfield, or behind a lone attacker.

*scholes is not a left sided player.

A great loss if you ask me

If you ask me you should dump Beckham as well. Wright-Phillips or Dyer should be given a crack down the right.

And my son!

BTW if it hadn't been for Scholes Scotland would have been at Euro 2000 instead of England! Evil or Very Mad

Lots of inexperienced young views here, so to speak.

Scholes was and is a class player. Perhaps he has underperformed recently, but you can't take away his endless list of winners medals. Only class players can achieve what Scholes has achieved.

Personally, while I respect him as a footballer, he must be a right nob as a bloke if he doesn't want to play in Germany 2006 - there is not a single game he has or will ever play for Man United that is as big as a game in the World Cup for your country. I think someone has been giving him bad advice.

The "Hand of Fergie" is in this.

In this months World Football he is interviewed and asked about Scholes form. He said he didn't know if Scholes was being affected by too many games, but that it was possible.
He goes on to say that once he got Scholes back in training, he'd be sitting down and having a chat with him to see what could be done.

It's a real loss. The guy has some very rare qualities and he will be missed.

From reading what Sven said it's a case of going before the press ask why he hasn't been picked.
Seen some fantastic matches abroad with Scholes in the side. 2 years ago I would have said no, but think he just hasn't got the same spark anymore.
Just as long as we aren't palmed off with Neville Sad

I'm disappointed at this, and also suspect the Hand of Fergie. One of the few players of world class in the England squad in the last few years. We'll miss him.
