Think they tested the wrong member of the family for autism imho.

thread's not mean, obv. Kid's autism hasn't been a feature, for a start.

Is that deindexing? I've deindexed it anyway - nice to get to do some actual modding for once, by way of penance.

Oh yeah I didn't mean it that way. It was fun until we found out the kid he was going to pick up was autistic last week. Now I just think it has lost reread value.

People think Scholesy is shy and quiet but he's one of the most cutting people i know. Example: the day Diana Law, who worked in Utd's press department, was chatting with the players. 'Gary, you remind me of my brother for some reason,' she said. 'Why?' Scholesy replied, quick as a flash. 'Is he a knob too?'
'Gary, you remind me of my brother for some reason,' she said.

unfortunately there's not much more insight into Scholesy's character in the pages of RED after that episode

Funnily enough, Neville later goes on to say that Sheringham was Scholes' favourite player to play with. Still raves about him to this day apparently.

I think i posted the book's other example of Scholesy's famous wit before but no harm in giving it another airing
Then I saw Paul Scholes in the canteen after I'd spoken to the manager, I told him my fears. 'This is going to be messy,' I said.He laughed.'You don't mean Lionel.' Typical Scholesy, ready to take the mickey.

i think they were good in the early 90's but as they became more popular and pervasive i think maybe i grew jaded with them and then once they dropped a little out of fashion again and began to be used more sparingly i've gained a new appreciation for them, though obviously i don't condone fucking your brother's wife

nah tbf his brother had been lording it over him for years with his normal life lived in the shadow of ryan giggs, then he decided to rub it in by attempting to stake out a few square feet of happiness with a wife of his own. he had it coming.

I'm imagining him crouched in the driveway for hours holding the "wheel" and trying his keys before realising there is no car under or around him.

Normally he'd phone Giggsy in these situations but... hadn't he read something about Giggsy in the papers a couple of years ago? He'd stolen his brother's car, maybe he's stolen Paul's as well? Better be safe, get Michael Clegg round in the van.

A police spokesman said "inquiries to locate the car are ongoing".
SCHOLES: When will you find these guys? I mean, do you have any promising leads?POLICEMAN: Leads, yeah. I'll just check with the boys down at the Crime Lab. They've assigned four more detectives to the case, got us working in shifts.

The interior life of an ice bandit. Grim times. The waiting, the watching. The cold. Maybe they'd come back, thought Paul, see if he'd got a different car. They should know better. They'd see the house and think everyone was out. They wouldn't see him crouched in the bushes. They might come up the driveway, take a look. Then he'd know. Then he could move on.
They'd played that team once, hadn't they, Rotor Volgograd. It was cold that night alright. A bit like this. Watching, waiting. He'd never forget that name, Volgograd. Nobody would, it was part of history wasn't it? The night Schmeichel scored.

After the book and watch were handed over and a round of applause spread round the room I noticed a particular look on some of the players’ faces. It was a moment some weren’t sure how to handle because they had always had me with them; some for 20 years. I could see a vacant expression that seemed to say: what’s it going to be like now? Some had known no other manager but me.

The documentary covers 1992-1999, culminating in Manchester United’s European Cup triumph, and interweaves the narrative with the social and cultural changes taking place in Britain at the time.
The production secured access to all six players and also includes interviews with Zinedine Zidane, Tony Blair, Mani from the Stone Roses, Eric Cantona and Danny Boyle.

Now I'm trying to work out how they ordered the names. I've ruled out fame, age, appearances, trophies and talent. Maybe ascending order of Fergiebook approval?
