Paul Scholes in his prime > Iniesta

This article wasn't easy to write (Most WUM articles on the Liverpool board were swiftly removed) so it made more sense than most WUM articles.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A59293407 was my favourite though, even the Liverpool fans had to take a bow.

Best article 606 may well be this one by Redknight, written when Torres was actually playing well for Liverpool.

HOW DID I GET HERE - FERNANDO TORRES.

"Flying into Manchester airport for the signing was one of the most exciting days of my career. The limo transferring me took a while longer to reach the ground than I expected but once there I was greeted by a sea of red. The chanting and atmosphere were brilliant and it all passed by in a blur.

Once inside the ground I was greeted by the manager, the first time we had met face to face. He was a lot heavier than I expected but spoke to me in good Spanish which made me feel most welcome. We went straight into a conference room for the official signing.

After I had put pen to paper the manager turned to me and said "Welcome to the biggest club in the World".

I said thank you and asked "When will I meet Wayne and Cristiano"?

There followed about ten minutes of confusion from which it transpired that there are two clubs in the North West of England known as the "Reds" and my idiot agent had got them mixed up.

However I had signed so had to get on with it. Benitez was known as the "Gaffer". I asked Stevie G (the only other player at the club who could control the ball) why this was.

He explained that in English "gaffe" is an embarassing mistake. Apparently even the owners called Rafa "gaffer".

All I can do now is play really well and hope that Real, Barca or possibly Barnsley come and save me from my nightmare.

Some days after training I drive from Liverpool to Manchester and sit outside Old Trafford and dream of what might have been. I can sit there for hours.

Then Stevie will nudge me and say "Come on Nando, we have to go back".

We drive silently back to the gaffer.

Taken from "How did I get here?" by Fernando Torres."

how i missed this

How did Iniesta get player of the tournament over Pirlo....

Complete farce if you ask me!! Iniesta is overrated!!

Xavi the best midfielder in the world ever!!

Scholes a very good player > Fabregas, but no forever!! Cesc will become another Xavi!!

I agree with Emibury AFC and OP!
Scholes was much better than Iniesta who is a brilliant player but quite overrated!

Mata is miles better than Iniesta. Iniesta is shocking. I'd rather have Arshavin.

What a deluded individual.
