Lampard did suggest he got some game time a few weeks ago because he wanted to play and worked hard in training. I think it's easier to work with somebody who believes they should be playing than somebody who doesn't care.

It's emotion off the back of some big games. I said the other night he should probably be moved on but then thinking about it some more, I wouldn't be bothered if he wasn't. He's got the summer to recharge and get his mojo back..
House prices went up from around 98. Imo the culprit for that was lending rules and the rise of the buy to let "investor". One of the Labour government's biggest sins.
