🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Frank Lampard

[Daniel1980 1,425]

Polite applause if he comes on or is subbed off, but I certainly would NOT be cheering and signing the name of a City player playing against our boys.

Our away fans at the Ettihad actually played a role in my opinion in taking some of the momentum out of the team that was on the front foot before Frank came out and the cheering his name begun and gave him the confidence and motivation to score.

This. He's a City player. We should cheer our own players. If was fucking embarrassing enough how instead of cheering our own players, our away fans cheered Frank. IMO, it threw our players off and they seemed to lose their concentration when Frank came out.

I completely agree that we shouldn't be cheering for the opposition but I don't think the Lampard chanting did much and I reckon we'd have conceded anyway. The truth is that we've lost 7 points (and counting) from winning positions in the league this season - all coming in big away games.

Even more I want us to win title now. Seeing the face of Lamps after that would be satisfying. I hope he realizes he is a dick who destroyed his legacy here for what he thought would bring him another trophy with City.

NYC weren't a concept they were a real club that was being prepared for the next season. Where is the naivety in what I posted? He left, he was given a good offer that let him keep playing in England.

Frank said he has been other opportunities to play in England and that he had rejected by the NYCity. So that contradicts the excuse that his priority was to stay in England.

What a ridiculous set of posts you've made during your time in this thread. Stick your head in the sand, avoid discussing what has happened and just state nobody will care in the future?, smfh.. This exact situation has never happened before with Chelsea fans, so it's an impossible thing to say.

Tone it down a notch keyboard warrior. Every Chelsea fan in existence should have mixed feelings and opinions on this matter. He was a professional and wanted to play with us yet we didn't negotiate any deal furthering his contract as we didn't need his services (considering he would of been a hell of a lot more useful than Mikel) He had an offer to play top level football and as a professional he accepted it.

I am waiting for more evidence to unravel rather than picking out and creating knee jerk assumptions whilst lashing on media and conspiracy approaches that bare no true evidence on what really is happening behind closed doors.

Question;

Hypothetically everyone on this thread goes to the Citeh game.

Whatchagonna do ? BOOOO him ? Cheer SUPERFRANK ! ?, Polite applause ? Or ignore the fact hes playing ??

I will applaud, and not let City fans claim one of our legends, negate 13 years of wonderful football and silverware. I also hope he either gets a niggling (nothing serious) injury before, or plays one of those anonymous stinkers he occasionally played for us.

Politely applaud him before kick-off whilst he's warming up. Acknowledge what he's done for the club.

Then just ignore him.

Frank Lampard has something to say. Rather a lot to say, in fact. For a start, he wants to say that his heart will always be with Chelsea, that he is determined to make up for lost time when he finally joins New York City in July but that, until then, he will be fiercely committed to Manchester City.

Awwwww, I almost shed a tear.

Pellegrini en december: "It's not so easy because Frank is a New York City player. He is only on loan until December 31, so we must respect the other people."

Now: Manchester City have admitted making mistakes regarding Frank Lampard’s status, with the club moving to clarify he never signed a two-year deal with New York City FC and so the midfielder was never on loan from the MLS franchise. A clarification issued on Friday by the club said: “The statement on the NYCFC website in July saying Lampard’s two-year contract took effect from Aug 1, 2014 was a mistake. [The] initial statement on City’s website that it was a loan was also an error.”

This is evidence that inicially they lied for some unknown reason.

Well he failed and stopped loving us when he scores for City.

No one on here with the possible exception of Alex has disagreed and fought more with Term than I have .

in this case however he has been consistent and ALSO correct .. Im not sure what extra evidence you need ,, when CITY

have admitted they LIED ,,, oh sorry they made "errors" ,,, You sound an apologist in the Cundy mould ..

Ok " Frank lied " so what it is a professional game ,, btw you used the wrong " bare" perhaps a Freudian slip as

you are unable to see bare naked lies when they slap you in the face

That's one hell of dilemma. If we cheer him, he will think, 'look after what I did, they still cheer me, I must give them my gratitude by scoring again in Stamford Bridge, they usually happy with it, I don't see why not now either'

If we boo him, he will think,'ha, look after what I did for their club all this time, they finally turn his back on me, because of a simple lie I made, I must score in this game to show what they're missing'

What should we do? As our ancestor always said then, 'Silent is Golden'

[CMS 382]

What still gets me is why all the elaborate manipulation, deception, lies and most especially the deliberate boldface disregard for integrity? Worst part was they couldn't have done it without Lampard as a willing participant and cheer leader. He was the star actor, the oscar award performer with the way he played a major role in it. I mean he actually agreed and flew to New York to pose for a picture in New York, with the uniform of a team, he knew he never signed for. His selfishness knows no bounds. I mean seriously, who does that?

[CMS 382]

My take on the game for the 31st is that Chelsea fans, players and coaches should just ignore Frank. He is irrelevant. They should play him like we play our opponents and beat the daylights out of them. If possible Chelsea should dismantle them like we did Arsenal some years back. That will stop all these so called comparisons. City has offense, other than that, their defense has been suspect.

To watch Arsenal win the next 5 premier leagues or watch Man City win a game? I'm not sure which I'd rather.

Absolutely Ron, me and Term have had a lot of disagreements, the same between you and he and even you and I! But we're all big enough to admit when the other is right.

Maybe Term is exaggerating the situation a little in his inimitable style, but he was right from the beginning.

As CMS says, until Lamps leaves City, he's irrelevant to all of us. He is now a rival and should be treated as such.

Sorry you should tone down,,Chelsea offered one year lower wages (lets say 90k) and a part time job, he took part time job and 140k+ thats it. Stop insulting us with that nonsense that Chelsea didnt offer a contact
