Paul Scholes' latest Arsenal rant has come back to bite him badly

Paul Scholes has recently put Arsenal on blast by saying that the Gunners were 'boring' and that they are doing a disservice to any fan wanting to pay tickets to see them. This is hilarious, considering it's the same guy who basically told Arsenal to get more boring to win football matches over a decade ago.

"There's a real lack of entertainment watching Arsenal," said Scholes recently on The Good, The Bad & The Football. "You've got to remember, it's an entertainment business, you know what I mean? And they very rarely entertain you."

"People are paying fortunes to go and watch them, and it's f**king boring."

"If you're paying £500 for a ticket and you go and watch them score a set piece and don't come out of the box, do you know what I mean?"

No, Paul, we do not know what you mean.

Paul Scholes' hypocrisy personifies literally every Arsenal hater right now

Scholes doesn't actually think Arsenal are doing the wrong thing; he just says that to garner a reaction. In fairness, he's achieved his goal, but it's worth calling out something.

15 years ago, Scholes said that there was no point to Arsenal's playing style if they don't win games. Back then, Arsenal were playing some of the most beautiful football in the world, but they always fell at the final hurdle.

In his exact words, Scholes said in 2011, "They (Arsenal) just flatter to deceive. "They may play the prettiest football but it doesn't always produce the results they need. It doesn't irritate me that people say they're the best footballing team because, while they're doing that, we're winning games."

So, Scholes has already battled with the idea of playing beauiful football versus getting results in his head. It is quite clear, given his previous comments, that he would prefer to be playing for a team that wins rather than a team that impresses- here, here, every Arsenal fan agrees with you.

Arsenal were belittled for the longest time, and deservedly so. Tactically, we were very impressive, but we couldn't win games in the manner that Scholes' Man United could. What people forget about that dominant Man United team is that they weren't particularly interesting to watch, but they got the job done.

In fact, rarely has a team won the Premier League while playing exciting football. Liverpool are the obvious example that springs to mind, and Leicester were exciting in the manner that they were performing above expectations, rather than being outwardly attacking. Man City... well, we're not going to compare a team that follows the rules with a team that doesn't. For obvious reasons.

The truth is that every Arsenal hater right now doesn't actually think Arsenal need to be more entertaining. Sure, it's incredibly boring to watch your rivals win every week. Growing up and watching that Man United team win every week was incredibly boring for me, but we can respect it now.

To call football a form of entertainment is subjective. Arsenal entertained for many years, but speaking from a fan's point of view, I much prefer supporting this team while we're only entertaining ourselves. It's better to win matches, duh.

Breaking news, everyone! Rivals want Arsenal to fail. Who would have thought?
