Don't care if I'm a Liverpool fan, Scholes is an absolute legend
I for one would have loved him to play for LFC.
I love the man too, something very "un-United" about him too!
@@da_great_mogul Un-united ? United fans and Pool fans aren't really that far apart in terms of how they behave during times of success and failure.
So underrated by people who don’t understand that football is a simple game . Pep would have loved Scholes .

We need to get Paul Scholes and Karl Pilkington on a podcast
head like a fucking orange
But how would they know which one they were?
Couple of lads chatting about footy like they are in the pub. Everything that you want from a footy podcast.
100% brilliant!
What’s a pub ?
@@nred60 a bar 🍺 (public bar) we call it "a pub" lol
@@broadbelt23 I’m from England, it was a joke because pubs have been closed for so long
@@nred60 lmao. I thought you were maybe foreign... 😂😂😂😂
As a United fan, this was thoroughly enjoyable. Fowler was a phenomenal striker and comes across as a sound lad, good sense of humour and is great at interviewing. I’ll defo tune in for more. Good work all round 👏
J.O'B, aye mate was propa decent cracking podcast, as a geordie lad was just nice to see 2 humble English legends craic on, Scholes though mate! Best we will ever see propa leader absolute class! And a gentleman off the pitch, what a fella
Also a United fan & I always would have loved Robbie at United. An outstanding and very unpredictable striker. Similar to Henry in that he could conjure something out of nothing.
Scholes was from Oldham not mancville
This podcast really picked up once Scholesy realised he could swear lol
I'm pleasantly surprised as a Liverpool fan at how humble Paul Scholes is.
@r you uuuu
Always like scholsey, propper down to earth man
it shouldn't really come as a surprise.. when has he ever been in a headline or trended considering he was world class
I'm surprised you're surprised
@@DdotRay86 I'm suprised that you're not surprised that they're surprised 😄
Dude is humble as hell which really throws me, they guy was one of the best players I have ever seen
2 of the greatest players to grace the prem and sound down to earth fellas aswell it was a pleasure watching them
What ?? One was finished in 97 the other went on until he was 37 ?? You must mean the latter…
This is the best Paul Scholes interview I've seen.
Scholesy the LEGEND. What a player, pure class.
I'm pleased to see these long time rivals chatting and laughing about their great careers
Prob had to tone his accent down on his travels to save keep repeating himself 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fowler always got bad publicity through the years but he comes across really well here tbf and also a good interviewer. Scholes what a legend
Give scholes and Fowler there own show that would be brilliant
Yep, regardless of club they're both so well respected by all
Just seen this podcast. As a working class Mancunian and a United fan it's great to see these two lads chatting about all things football. The Scouse/Manc divide is false, anti working class and only serves those who want to keep us divided. Two great clubs, Rivalry Forever Hatred Never.
Well said my friend
@@andrewfasanya6904 Thanks Andrew, over the years I've had great chats with Liverpool and Everton fans about football. I've also worked in Liverpool on occasions and had great banter and camaraderie.
"working class"
- you let your masters define-you.
Step-out of the box 😄.
There should be no 'classes'
🌳🌟.
@@TheTruthness2011 Using well understood labels and/or categories is a means to communicate something, in this case something about myself, in a short hand manner. You say there should be no classes, I quite agree, let's hope one day that this will be the case.
@@niallmurray8654 you should never 'understand'.
You're so-deep under mind-control you don't even know the words you use
🌱.
Being a Liverpool fan always admired scholes as a player and what a top bloke he is .
Robbie just comes off as such a top bloke in the podcast series. Down to Earth, chucks in with the banter and seems like he genuinely wants to listen to his guests. As a United fan, this was obviously a class episode - Scholesy will always be the greatest footballer I saw play!
fooooking loved scholesy and im a LFC fan the only reason i loved watching the 90s england internationals.... foooking cursed the fook outta you guys and hated you guys to your face but fooking secretly loved to have scholesy.... those were the days... that arsenal man u rivalry and us being just short FFS!! scholesy macmanaman shearer sheringham gazza stevie g owen how the foook did we not win anything internationally
@@antwango respect mate from a United supporter
Vv😢
I could have listened to this episode for another hour - well done lads 🏆
As a massive Liverpool fan , I still can’t deny how much I enjoyed this conversation with Scholes and can’t help thinking he was one of the most honest and down to earth players in the game . Obviously an amazing player who let his football do the talking at the time
Scholes was an unbelievable genius of a player and still underrated he was so subtle he just glided around a pitch lost international players with just a drop of a shoulder and little turn n when was dropped into a more central midfielder n he absolutely controlled the game showing his unbelievable passing range and vision
The Scottish fella sounds like he’s advertising windows every time he speaks.
"Scholesy Scholesy Sebba Scholesy Sebba Fergie Scholesy"
Why is he on the podcast?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a Scottish fella I can confirm his accent is bloody annoying.
Got that lawyer/police man/headmaster accent. Would bet he’s a rangers fan
I remember Roy Keane being asked "who's the best player at the club" SCHOLESIE he said without hesitation adding "ask Becks or Giggsy they will tell you the same".
Dennis Irwin must have retired
@@kanekanekaneable in fairness,what a consistent performer Irwin was.
Keane left scholes out of a combined 11 for Paul ince tho
@@TwoAwesomeKids34 Keane left out most of Fergie's favorites in that Veira show, he had a little agenda to have a dig at Fergie. Think that's all blown over now. Ince was brilliant alongside Keane but that particular selection contradicted everything else he's every said regarding Scholes. I'm sure he left out Neville and Giggs too haha
Im a Man United fan and now iv subscribed to the Fowler Podcast.... madness. Great interview from some good lads
Good comment . Have a stimpak
Same
As a United fan who grew up with Scholesy and Robbie, now i'm older, wiser and lost the hatred, what a top bloke Robbie seems to be, and, speaking of hatred, some of the most wonderful friends I have accumulated during my life are Scousers of the red verity, and they are amazing!
My oldman started taking me to Old Trafford in 1985 (when we were shit) and I remember him telling me when he was at the United Liverpool cup final back in the late 70s, that when Liverpool done the I suppose you could say lap of honour, when they got to the United end, all the United fans clapped and cheered them on because they were going on to play in the European cup final. He could never understand how it got so bitter.....And I couldn't get my head around the standing ovation
I never thought i'd ever say this.......... Robbie Fowler............. What a top bloke!
I think the humbling schooling of Man united & the strength of character in the dressing room & manager really helped Ronaldo become mentally strong. I remember seeing him in La Liga almost physically bullying the players on opposing teams. I guess once you are used to those harsher conditions of the PL in the early 00s anything in La Liga physically is like a dream.
Liverpool fan here
Scholes was brilliant
27min in: "I made two chances, made two goals but, nothing to do with me". -The Legend!😂
I love how relaxed your guests are on this podcast, so nice to see and a big difference from TV interviews. Paul Scholes is a legend and what a great guest!
United fan, brings back the days boys.
You just don't get players like you two nowadays.
Such a shame, even though we were winning, the 90s really were the best for football in my view .
Subbed 🍻
Always loved the character of Robbie F and after this my admiration for Scholsey has raised immensely. Lovely sense of humour and so down to Earth. His retirement was football’s loss.
Absolutely loving these podcasts. I love how scholes bought his own football boots in jjb sports for his comeback 😂
Paul Scholes has always come across as a very strong silent type as his feet and football brain was enough for him to make a point loud and clear! Great to see the lads/rivals using their fame and status by setting an example showing class and mutual respect for one another and for the love of football and the people who support them and the game wherever they Besides Carra and Neville I'd love to see and hear more friendly rivals share their own personal footie life experiences supporter since 1977 and yes have always hated United but loved the rivalry and had no choice but to admire the manager and the talented players the likes of Scholes and co.They'll always have my respect as worthy foes and are a massive part of LFC history! Well done lads! YNWA!
CS From the US / L' Pool Fan here; Agreed, Scholes was always
under-rated and a key piece of the MAN U Machine that made
those great Clubs almost "unbeatable" ... The Mix of Players
Podcasting, Analyzing and Joking is a greatly appreciated
development; Between Fowler, Crouch, Keane, Wright,
Carragher, Neville & so on Producing these shows is World Class
And btw, Shout out to all Man U Fans in Paying "Mad
Manchester Midfield" Respect to the World Cup Winning
Worldwide Icon SIR BOBBY CHARLTON... RIP
As a manutd fan, this is one of the best podcasts out there. Such a good listen, great questions and just pure enjoyment
L' Pool Fan CS From the US here; Agreed; The Man U / L' Pool
Mix of chit-chat from two accomplished Clubs is World Class.
Scholes is quite under-rated, and it's great Rob had him as a Guest.
My thinking was if you're a Man U Fan you had confidence w/ Scholes
on the Field, the chance of Victory was High; He could find seams
/sweet spots @ the Right or Wrong Time if you're the opposition, lol
to score goals or assist; As a Football Fan, My Eyes almost
popped out my head seeing this Interview pop up. Same Respect
as seeing Keane (Roy) Carragher (Jaime) Neville (Gary) & Wright (Ian)
analyze things; Great Memories, even if L' Pool weren't the Top
Club... Best "Man U Dynasty" year for the Reds was 2001 w/ the
"Co -2nd Best" Treble; League / FA, & UEFA (now Europa) Cups
And to Further Your Point, all these guys are Very Funny,
Informative, and Entertaining to Watch
We are so spoilt as United fans. Just think of those 4 midfielders, Scholes, Keane, Veron and Nicky Butt. Incredible!
When Nicky butt was the best England player at the World Cup but couldn’t get in the United team! Witnessed something special that’s for sure
@Ant
When Veron & v.Nistelrooy came for the 2001/02 season after ManUtd had just had 3 consecutive successful seasons with mainly 4-4-2.
It mainly changed to 5 in midfield with v.Nistelrooy on his own up front. The main first choice 5 in midfield would've been Beckham Scholes Keane Veron Giggs.
But Butt was a good replacement in centre midfield (as was Solskjaer a very good replacement as a winger or forward).
The team weren't very successful that year, 3rd in the PL worst finish since 1990/91, a bit unlucky in the champions league lost on away goals in semi-finals but they won the PL the following season and both seasons 2001/02 & 2002/03 the team scored so many goals.
3 greats....... and Nicky butt
Jamie Forrester? I remember him, he was a very decent player, who I thought would have a better career. Scholesy is a LEGEND. I was there when he scored 2 at Port Vale in 94 (his first goals for United's first team)
Van Nistelroy said recently that Scholesy was the only player who could spot his runs. He said when he saw the ball coming to Scholes that he would start his run before Scholesy even received the pass because he knew Scholes would give him a through ball with his first touch, giving him an extra couple yards on opposing defenders.
This is 1 my all time favourite podcasts. A Scouser interviewing a manc, gr8 work lads
Fantastic interview, really enjoying these podcasts 👏
I'll never know why Scholes wasn't the first name on the England team sheet. He's a player you build a team around.
I agree but we had insane midfield players, Scholes, Gerrard and lampard, Joe cole, how we never got them playing in some sort of system I’ll never know.
Class, absolutely class. As a manc i take my hat of to u Robbie.
Paul is the midfield genius though, without any doubt.
Zidane’s comments about scholes says it all legend !!!
Scottish lad is quality lads 👍🏼 United fan here and he asked some fucking brilliant questions, especially the question on his mentality when Veron came in!!!
3 down to earth lads just having a good old football chat ⚽️ keep up the good work!
Stumbled across this, fantastic 👏🏻
i didn't know i needed this channel in my sub list but here i am, Robbie was such a legend, so was Scholesy
Lifer United fan.
Scholesy - world class.
Fowler - top class for Liverpool, and deserved better. What a left foot. Supreme.
2 legends ❣️🇮🇪
Thanks for this, really good video! And not awkward/repetitive either, all the best for your other shows
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for uploading.
As a United fan. Respect to Robbie. Great player and a great podcast. Just subscribed and hope you grow. An English football legend.
I'm old enough to remember them both in their prime. But sometimes you forget how great they were. I just watched some highlights of Scholes, fowler & John Barnes after watching the Barnesy episode. They were absolutely amazing players. Especially Barnes. It was like watching a Brazilian play.
That was a great interview more of them please Robbie
Scholes is class.
How relaxed are these podcasts? Great stuff
What a great interview. 👍 fantastic questions and flow. Brilliant to hear these stories 👏
As a united fan watching a Fowler podcast with scholes...I wasn't expecting a lot but was great podcast, nice to see different sides of people away from the football rivalry...down to earth proper football talk..
Great vid..👍
Fowler impressed me tbh, fair play. I'm a United fan and best friends are all Liverpool fans so nice to see.
One of the most enjoyable podcasts I've ever listened to. Great work. The story about the cheap boots was hilarious 🤣
As a West Ham fan I don’t like Man Utd much but i watched them just to watch Scholes and I can’t see no one came in for him I think he could have chosen a club to play for every top team in Europe would have loved to have him playing for them he’s my favourite non West Ham player of all time. He’s so humble he plays down he’s career and how important he was to Man Utd
These podcast's are brilliant - Thank you for making them.
nice to see yester rivals having a chat hehe this is great stuff 😊👍🙌 the story about the suits was hilarious
Great podcast Robbie. Respect for you and Scholes, great players. Coming from an Arsenal fan, London.
Keep going guys best podcast in football! Im a United but always feared and respected Fowler! Its great to see and hear these stories :)
Great podcast all round, love the insight. Regardless who you support, grateful to be part of this era of football. Loved the mid-late 90s, great characters and some phenomenal players who could play in any era
Agreed; CS From The US, L' Pool Fan; Even w/ the Reds being
a notch below Man U in the 90's, a "true" Football Fan is
Fascinated w/ the Variables / Mindset of the Players of that Era
and appreciate the1999 Man U "treble" which is not only the most
prestigious, but arguably the "highest level" sweep historically,
given the quality of team itself & the competition...
L' Pool won the "Co"-2nd Best "Treble" in 2001 w/ the League,
FA, & UEFA (now Europa) Cup Titles which is a feat in it of
itself if you miss Champions League qualification
And to Your Point, the Man U / Arsenal Clubs,
and to some extent Liverpool, could compete very well
vs current EPL teams
Half way through episode and it’s great so far
This was surprisingly really good!
Try and get Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso or Rafa Benitez on this fantastic podcast
Even his leeds team mates. Some characters in that team
I second Alonso!! :)
Rushie, Barnes and Collymore... They say Rob and Stan didn't really get on, BUT Stan always says Rob was the best player he played with, and those first two seasons, they were on fire.
Dudek!
you put that trio together we are gonna need subtitles for at least half of that podcast 3 Spanish guys together deffo half that convo is in Spanish
The way he is sitting, at that angle, dude's head looks MASSIVE
Ha ha was just thinking the same, like one of those bobbleheads
@@miketobin9552 😂
I think his head might actually be massive though 😂
Giggs, Scholes, Keane, Beckham. The best midfield you could ever wish for. Honorable mention to Xavi, Iniesta and Busquests.
Honourable mention😂😂😂 they 💩 on that Utd midfield from a great height. Double euros, World Cup, 4 champions leagues, umpteen league titles/Spanish cup/super cup/ club World Cups. Don’t get me wrong that Utd midfield was class, but that Barca midfield is the G.o.a.t without question
@@gb1967. They had Messi.
@@timlewis_fm266 don’t recall spain having messi when they won 3 successive major tournaments with this trio pulling the strings.......plus they still have him now and look at the state of them. If they had played eachother that Utd midfield as good as they were would have been chasing shadows, seeing double like every other team that faced that Barca team in their pomp
Regardless of the club you support, I love these chats when the old boys get together. There’s always a great respect despite the original rivalry.
I love the humility and honesty of Scholes. With the rivalry between United and Liverpool, it's surprising to see that the players get on so well. Also liked Gary Nev interviewing V V Dyke!
That was one of the best podcasts I've seen for some time 👍
brilliant good to see scholesy personality come out.... keep it coming
Get super ALLY MCOIST on GAZZA you’ll be number 1 in no time GOD!!
LEGEND ROBBIE FOWLER!!!! Signed a top for my cousin years ago after he’d a brain injury. A think it was through an agent that had a few rangers player on his books as well.
Love these Fowler podcasts.
It does seem like there was just more characters in the game back then.
Maybe because more English players back then.
100%
For all the statistics observers out there that seem to be skeptics of scholes’ ability since his numbers aren’t as good as some other elite players in terms of assisting or whatever. Just look at the season he came back, 37 years old and played the 2nd half of the season and Man Utd came within a whisker of winning the league that season with his contribution, they won almost every game with him the team, he was rested against wigan and they lost. It was crazy watching a 37 year old with 6 months off the game come back and just dictate everything from deep role. Unfortunately the stat box doesn’t do justice for him, so the youth just seem to right him off
Paul Scholes is class, humble and very down to earth for such a talented player who achieved so much in the game. That was a good insight into the man. Im not a Man Utd fan so that was interesting to watch.
Great work Robbie. Loved your autobiography too. And I'm a United fan!
Lifelong LFC supporter here and I completely agree with Robbie on his truthful evaluation of Paul Scholes and he was probably the most complete player coming out of midfield for his generation and beyond as a revolutionary imho! What an amazing player and the greatest compliment that you can receive is one from a rivals standpoint! Liverpool will be the only team that will ever have my loyalty and dedication but we are not the same team or experience without the other side of the pitch dressed in man united and trying to execute us with a football every single time we play one another
CS From The US / L' Pool Fan; Agreed; Rivals ultimately respect
each other, probably More so than many Fans, and it's
Crazy Beautiful to see the Top Guys Podcasting
and sharing Club/ International Team stories / the Nuances
of the Game, be it Rob, Scholes, and what, Richards, Lineker,
Shearer, Carragher Neville, Keane, Wright & others are doing:
Though I'm Not Mourning Man U's current struggles,
players in & out of the Man U organization are trying to
dissect the problems & solutions in the midst of
L' Pool trying to topple Man City to win the League
and / or Cups, which they seem primed to do,
be it one or the other or Both; Great Podcast
Robbie-tastic.
First time watching this pod and it’s brilliant
Top viewing and listening, two LEGENDS of the game well done. 💪💪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍😉
Liverpool man but you have to appreciate talent
This is the best interview I've ever seen with Scholesy
You can tell he really likes robbie. Puts him at ease
@@66kaisersoza Both are very down to earth and stay away from the limelight and yes mancs and scousers are similar people even though they hate to admit it
@@agastyagarg4204 True. But we do dry humour better!
As a Liverpool fan Scholes was an amazing player.
This fella excelled at making the hard things look simple ,that takes skill . Of the few English lads playing for man u this guy stood out as a true world class player in the era he played the game .classic example of using brain over brawn .suspect he was every managers dream player .first name on the sheet . Lovely player to watch .
2 legends chatting footy ! I’m in !!
Paul ‘Robbie will tell ya’ scholes
As a united fan I'm actually shocked that Robbie Fowler is a nice guy in real life, as a player he always tried to cultivate such a bad image for himself, snorting lines of chalk lmao, he was definitely just playing up for the cameras, he seems really down to earth now.
True greatness. Enjoyed this very much! No questions about any of his magical goals, nothing about the semi final and final in 2008
Lmao. What would have been the next thing you'd have complained they didn't mention if they mentioned these things?
@@christaylor1913 just those key fundamental points/areas I mentioned when interviewing Paul Scholes. Can I complain about your wannabe smart arse bullshit comment?
@@bid9339 Smh.
Enjoyed this one 🔥
God this podcast has some potential. Subbed
i loved this as long as it went
What a great interview. Kudos 👏 Great work Robbie & Co...now let's knock that Peter Crouch of his Podcast Perch 😀
Great podcast I really enjoyed this one lads, when is Razor on guys
Just be same old boring stories from him
@@archer8822 He punched Robbie once after a prank went too far lol
heeehee... it's great podcast ...and when laid back fun interview and seeing scholes laugh is rarity
Great podcast episode. Loved Scholes at united and hated Fowler at Liverpool 🤣
Great chat 👍🇮🇪
Really enjoyed this
What a great interview
really enjoyed this, what a player he was, and its easy to say now but fair play nice one lads. Up The Reds.
absolutely brilliant
Great listen that was, feels like these 2 get on, unsure if Scholes and some utd lads got on well with Gerrard and carragher.
Newcastle and Liverpool had some good battles over the years, would like to see a 90s/00s Newcastle player on here
Two classics, that’s all
Two absolute legends 👏🏾👏🏾
Fantastic listen
