In 1974, Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese army intelligence officer, caused a sensation when he was persuaded to come out of hiding by a former comrade on the Philippine island of Lubang.
Mr Onoda, now 83, wept uncontrollably as he agreed to lay down his rifle, unaware that Japanese forces had surrendered 29 years earlier. He returned to Japan the same year, but unable to adapt to life in his home country, emigrated to Brazil in 1975.In 2016, Paul Scholes, a former United midfielder and recluse, caused a sensation when he was persuaded to come out of hiding by BT Sport to join their commentary team. Mr Scholes whinged uncontrollably as he realised how bad his former team were, seemingly unaware that they had been knocked off their *?!king perch a few seasons earlier.  Ha ha, brilliant. Somehow I think the ordinary decent Man U fan would rather have that than to have to bear patronising sympathy and crocodile tears being shed for them by a few soft Liverpool fans. Have they ever shown such magnanimity to us when they are victorious?

The O.P had a problem with Scholes saying... "The last thing I want for Manchester United is to be happy with finishing fourth and winning the FA Cup. That's what Arsenal do."I think it's pretty funny Sounds fair comment to me and yes funny you have to bear in mind just three years ago united were the top club and had been for 20 years its a bit like me I still think of Liverpool as a title winning side I am a bit like that japanese soldier who carried on fighting the second world war till the 1970's in the jungle. Its in my DNA scholes will be similar stanley mate it's hardly the same as our situation, it's only 3 seasons ago United won the League and about 5 or 6 since they were in Champions league finals. United are the biggest Club in the world and there size and spending power over the next few years when there new manager comes in will demonstrate the gulf between us which is probably the same as us and West Brom. I whole heartedly agree with you about Scholes doing nothin more than being passionate about his club...

I actually thought their discussion was pretty interesting. They were very honest, and I think they were right. Van Gaal has spent 300 million, and most of the players he brought in aren't any better than what he's shipped out; in many cases they are worse.
Personally, I enjoyed their misery as much as Maca did, but credit to them, they acknowledged our superiority on the night and the trajectory we're on with Klopp. Excatly right he is a passionate Man United fan so you cant blame him for being vocal about the performance last night were he an ex Liverpool player in that situation I would expect the same demand it even. Once again struggling to see the issue unless its simply because he is Man united in which case I thought this forum was a bit more thoughtful than that Scholes is really a mad Oldham Athletic fan, he's one of the few ex Man Utd players I can tolerate as he's not full of himself and seems down to earth, I always remember the story of when he was at a Fifa presentation at the 2002 Japan World Cup, they dragged him on stage and were asking who was his favourite forward ever .... Pele... Maradona ... Van Basten..... Ronaldo etc .... he stands up there and says 'frankie Bunn' .... Fifa delegates are like Who???? so they said ok, who's your second favourite, he answers: 'Andy Ritchie - He scored six goals in a League Cup tie against Scarborough once. Pele, Maradona and Van Basten never managed that' LMAO class

Fellaini is a poor player. No team wanting to finish in the top half of the table would want him.

I don't think he said anything wrong. Think you're the one that is whinging over harmless comments like this.

I would argue that even Bayern are eclipsing them.
