Just in case anybody was NOT sure just how far we in Scotland are from competing with England, just consider this little item from the Football Gossip webpage on the BBC site:-
"Crystal Palace's former Blackburn defender Scott Dann, 28, has been offered a new contract worth about £65,000 a week. (Daily Express)"
Yes, Crystal Palace!
Yes, £65,000 per week!
Yes, Scott Dann!
Just digest that with your morning coffee/tea/breakfast.

Again zico I'm only commenting on what you have said.
Earlier I showed Lampards stats of top EPL midfield goalscorer ever
You said any player could get those stats with that team.... then said you didn't mean it.
Then I said that Xavi feels celtic fans were persecuted.
You then lectured me about catholics being persecuted... I never mentioned religon, you made the connection between Catholicism and Celtic.
Very sad and dated opinion

Lampard for me is better than Gerrard, to consistently score 20 plus goals per season Chelsea in England and in Europe takes some doing, very rarely does a midfielder become a teams record goal scorer from MF either whilst playing at the very top level.
I think when Gerrard peaked between 04 / 07 he was a better player than lampard, however lampard has performed at the very top longer than gerrard therefore imo is a better player
Paul Scholes is just sublime, to spend your entire career at one of the biggest and best clubs in the world and continually perform and win things proves it
you always hear likes of zidane, xavi, iniesta, pirlo who were / are some of the best midfielders ever list scholes as one of the best
in England you get mouthbreathers like Jamie redknapp and Robbie savage fly the flag for lampard and gerrard.

I think thts unfair on gerrard
the ac Milan final was one of the best games ive ever seen a centre mid play - he was immense - no one could have lived with him

Best midfield performance I remember was Roy Keane in the CL semi when he got booked earlier on and knew he would miss the final; ditto Scholes
Think Scholes was better than Gerrard and Lampard put together but a lot of that is down to having Keane beside him
Keane was an outstanding player and would first pick for me if I had to pick a team of the best I have seen
----------------------------------------------------------------------
actually you are rioght - between that final (gerrard) and the semi (keane) is tight. both players knew that if they didn't personally take the game then they were beat.
leaders of men
just like ronny

Just to throw a few names in the hat - Pavel Nedved and Rue Costa - for me,
two of the best midfielder players that I have ever seen
