Groupthink/peer pressure will come into it unfortunately. Like that guy on Arsenal Fan TV with the Arsenal official headphones, hat, coat, fa cup medal around his neck, who won't say a bad word, in order to be perceived as a 'true' fan.
'Chelsea' is just a concept though, not the current board. Lampard should be smart enough to understand that his status here (which he embraced) doesn't allow him to act like the average joe.
It’s actually worse than I thought.. Drogba wrote ‘Blue Till I die’ on the dressing room white board and left the country, Ashley Cole rejected Liverpool and left the country. Frank Lampard, the man who was Chelsea personified.. and embraced it!, has taken us for fools. He found a way to ‘save face’ with a pseudo-contract to pull the wool over our eyes, it was a PR move.. not for Chelsea fans but to keep his ‘clean’ ‘professional’ image intact; to not be the guy who moved directly to our only title rivals.
It's the most frustrating thing about us, and it's the ultimate test of character too, to be able to keep your head and step it up a level against the clock. We were panicky against Newcastle in similar moments, passes were not being strung together in the same way.
At times.. Ferguson's United would be chasing a game in the final 5 minutes, and you just knew a goal was coming. With this Chelsea side.. it's the opposite.
At this rate we're gonna be watching Fat Frank lift the title in light blue.. We don't have what it takes to snatch all the 3 points in the dying minutes of a game, if we're 85 minutes into a game and it's level, THAT'S THAT.
