Who is better; Gerrard, Scholes or Lampard? We’ve all heard, and probably taken part in this debate numerous times down the years.

Like many of you, I have an unhealthy obsession with football. There are the favoured sites for checking the latest gossip, team and transfer news, others for articles and a review of the weekend fixtures, morning, noon and night.
