Paul Scholes quoted in the Sun, “If we can’t beat Blackburn and Fulham we have no hope of winning the league. It was against the lower teams that we dropped so many stupid points last season and why we fell so far behind. If we are to have any hopes this year we cannot afford to do that.”
“Apart from Arsenal, Chelsea have not played many of the top teams while we have had three or four tough games. We have dropped four points but I am sure Chelsea will drop points as well, we just can’t afford to drop many more. It is great the defence aren’t conceding goals although we have to start scoring at the other end.”
