Thought this was very true from Soccerfans;

Much flapping and excitement in today’s press, as the golden boy Frank Lampard returned to form last night with a goal and two assists against the awful Atletico. Less lauded however, was how Lamps was at his best due to once more having three midfielders screening him, allowing Frank effectively a free role. It’s this sort of indulgence that Lampard has become used to, and that Capello is trying to stamp out with England.
Steven Gerrard to a slightly lesser degree relies on the same indulgence - at his best in a free role with three midfielders in behind him. Many would argue the pair are so good, they are worth spoiling. Soccerfans isn’t so sure - Paul Scholes used to score 15 a season playing with just Roy Keane alongside him, let alone two others.

And here's me thinking you wouldn't get the irony.

Conundrum for Everton fans.

Do they hope Liverpool fail to make it to the Champions League knock-out stages but then have to see their own cross city neighbours suddenly stand in their way in the Europa League?

I know if this was United now, and City were in the Europa, I'd desperately be hoping United got their act together and finished in the top two of their group, assuming fourth place is not an option.

You'll be well looked after by the local authorities. Lime street is fun.

I know, I was living in Northwestern Hall (attached to Lime Street) last time, trying to explain to the bobby that I was just going back into my halls was hard work. I ended up having to point out my flat mate on the balcony, and going "Look, him with the f*cking spliff in his gob" to get away from the patrol.

Was this in the era when you told all and sundry that Liverpool was a much better place than Manchester?

I still say I have had the best nights out of my life in Liverpool.

I make no bones about how I love the place, and love the people.

You should know by now, it is all a façade.

How many times did Scholes score 15 in a season?

He scored 20 in the 2002/03 season and 14 in both the 1995/96 and 2004/05 seasons.
