    Of course the fact Scholes played in the top team since the Premiership started has nothing to do with it does it <laugh>
    Just imogen how many more United could have won with Lampard playing instead with all those goals in him?

    So is Darren Bent a better forward than Zola, having a far better goals per game ratio playing for far weaker sides, like Charlton and Sunderland ?

    Well? :biggrin:

    I'd Imogen you'd have to be pretty boring to be still using this gag.

    In terms of this debate. Just look at both of them at their peak. I mean, watch the games, not take your opinions from the stats.

    If you genuinley beliive that you are definatley an imbecile. Considering lampards had people doing his donkey work for years and still only managed to knock in pens and deflections it really does not make him better in anyway shape or form.

    Well al I know is that Lampard has all these to his name;

    Runner up FIFA world player of the year
    Runner up Ballon d'Or
    Football Writers Association Footballer of the year
    UEFA Club Midfielder of the year
    Professional Footballers' Association Fans' Player of the Year
    England player of the year
    Barclays player of the season
    Premier League: Player of the decade
    Premier League: Midfielder with the most goals in premier league history 139 goals

    And if you think you merit those above for "knocking in a few penalties and deflections" shows exactly what I'm dealing with here!

    Losers <ok>

    Wow, Jose Mourinho tells his own player that he's the best in the world? Stop the presses, I'm convinced! <laugh> Oh wait, Mourinho also thought Deco was the best in the world when he was at Porto, Ibrahimovich was the best in the world when at Inter, and Ronaldo when he went to Real. Seems like Mourinho changes his "best player in the world" about as often as he changes clubs <laugh> Another high class fail Ginge <ok>

    Ah yes, good old Lampard did have a good 2005 season when he won most of those awards didn't he? But then so did Michael Owen in 2001 when he won the Ballon D'Or...I don't see many people calling him better than Shearer as a result. And of course Frank's cause was helped no end by the fact that Maureen built his team around him and, apart from Makalele, he's been Chelsea's only consistently great midfielder over the past couple of decades.

    Scholesy on the other hand was always likely to find it harder to win individual awards when playing alongside great and high profile players like Keane, Giggs, Beckham and Ronaldo. And he's simply been more consistent over the years rather than flash in the pan. After all, that's why he was picked ahead of Lampard for both the PL Teams of the Decade, and also why he was again picked ahead of Lampard for the English Football Hall of Fame.

    Lampard got voted premier league player of the decade, why would you include a lesser mortal in his place?
