Paul Scholes is a diver. Not only that, he is so inept a practitioner of the black art he was spotted immediately by Steve Bennett in the recent’s draw with Chelsea and quite properly booked. The Manchester United midfielder immediately forgot about his caution and did his best to put himself out of the FA Cup final.

Few would argue that Phil Neville has been one of the most improved players of the past couple of seasons. There is no doubt some influential judges rate Neville highly as a midfielder, which is why he was just a teeny bit disappointed last week to be called up for England in his old position.
