End of an era indeed

Scholes has just announced his retirement. Wow, this is another of the great players that I grew up watching. One more confirmation, if needed, that we are getting old.

It’s true that he hasn’t featured too much in Man Utd’s 19th league title, and indeed he was justly a mere late substitute in their loss against Barcelona in the Champions League final. But it’s still a bit sad to see another one of your childhood’s great players go.

I thought the Champions League final was won very convincingly by Barcelona. But I still can’t bring myself to like them too much. Sometimes their passing just bores me. Having said that, I would love Liverpool to be as good as them.
