From the BBC...
Paul Scholes is not the man to celebrate a major Manchester United landmark with a fanfare or a blaze of publicity.The 31-year-old, a genuine modern-day Old Trafford great, lets football do his talking.
And 131 goals in 499 games for Manchester United speaks volumes.
It is also a measure of his influence that he will reach the 500 mark against Liverpool as a hugely influential part of Sir Alex Ferguson's plans to return the title to Old Trafford.
Scholes emerged as part of United's golden group of young talent in the early 90s along with David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers.
He was arguably the most under-stated of the group, but has done as much to shape Manchester United's successes as any of the aforementioned.
Low-profile to a fault, the lifelong Oldham Athletic fan baffled a room of foreign reporters at the 2002 World Cup in Japan when quizzed on his favourite footballer.
Ignoring the claims of Pele and Diego Maradona, Scholes went for former Oldham Athletic striker Frankie Bunn.
And when met with puzzled glances, Scholes added: "He scored six times for Oldham in a League Cup tie against Scarborough you know."
Such was the dead-pan expression, no-one could tell whether his tongue was drilling a hole in his cheek.

Chaddy and the runs
Hello.
Oldhamfest 2007 is set to kick off in January and so far Noel Baker has agreed to join in the fun. Good man Noel.
Our choice of matches is very nice.
We can start the year on a winning note by watching Latics V Notts Forest on January 1st.
Noel doesn't like this idea very much because he wants to be holding hands with his girlfriend on New Year's night.
Silly Noel.
The next choice is a right hotpot of a fixture: Latics V Blackpool on January 6th.
Or then there's the option of Latics V Tranmere on February 3rd.
Well?

Billy-Myopia
No Billy-Vision column in the Star this week.
Maybe "the world's population" said it didn't like it?
PS. Only messing. I hope it's back next week.

The Big Day Out
The wedding of the decade took place on Saturday. Harriet and Keith threw a great hoolie.
I put a couple of snaps up here.
