When Loyalty Turns to Villainy…
Ah, the saga of Paul “The Red Villain” Scholes and his wild ride on the punditry rollercoaster! In a bizarre twist, our ginger-haired hero now finds himself looking like a cartoonish supervillain after trying to critique his beloved Manchester United. Picture this: his old club, now stuck in 13th place (ouch!), is having one of those “the-dog-ate-my-homework” kind of seasons, while Scholes sits in the commentary booth, his eyebrows arched like villainous peaks. We wonder if he twirls his mustache between takes!
With a record of 718 games for United, winning so many trophies that he needs a second garage for them, Scholes now talks footy for BT Sports and Sky Sports, with a side of tea and biscuits. But the poor chap can’t catch a break! “I look like a villain,” he chuckles on The Overlap Fan Debate, trying not to sound like a bad soap opera actor. Who knew punditry would flop like a fish out of water?
In the land of footy comedy, not even prophecies of reinforcements under Ruben Amorim could lift the Red Devils out of the bottom swamp! With just a handful of matches left and a one-window shopping spree that couldn’t buy a shortcut to glory, Scholes’ pal Roy “Grumpy Cat” Keane moans about mediocrity like it’s 2003 again. United wrestling with the likes of Brentford and Crystal Palace? Oh, the football gods must be giggling in the heavens!
