PAUL SCHOLES HAS broken his silence on THAT comment about Robbie Savage.
The former United star was left red-faced after BT Sport cameras caught him calling Savage a “knobhead” live on air, and Scholes has addressed the incident in his latest column with The Independent.
Scholes revealed he hadn’t even realised his quip had been picked up until host Darren Fletcher felt obliged to make an on-air apology.
“I realise that my inadvertent remark on BT Sport that was picked up by the cameras has caused a fair bit of amusement. I have to be clear about one thing, the “knobhead” comment was something of a reflex that came out because I must have been so relaxed on the Fletch and Sav sofa. In reality, I did not even realise I had said it until the presenter, Darren Fletcher, apologised on air a few minutes later.”

The pundit added that there was no ill-feeling between himself and Savage as a result, and that the pair had known each other since childhood.
“I don’t think Robbie Savage is a k***head! We have known each other since we were kids and I enjoy being on the show with him. I am sure we said much worse to each other in those Manchester United youth teams. Anyway, it was after the 9pm watershed, right?”
can we stop adding “gate” to everything
I would respond with a counter-criticism, but I’m wary of becoming embroiled in ‘gate-gate’.
Only if someone at the journal reported on it Paul!
In fairness Savage is a massive Knobhead
