🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Frank Lampard

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Reading this, anyone would think Frank fired AVB himself. He isn't to blame, every player who let AVB down this season (and by that, I mean they didn't give their all, and only the likes of Luiz, Ramires and Mata are exempt) is at fault for his sacking, and the dickheads who run the club. THIS IS OUR CLUB, GOURLAY.

[bababoom 4,478]

Still a legend.

Maybe he didn't get on with the manager, but saying he is the only reason AVB got sacked is simply untrue.

[gary gordon 1,777]

Wimp.

Hopefully the fans give him a major boo next game so he realizes what he's done.

Why would our fans boo Frank Lampard??? Your a twat..

I came to the club because of players like Zola and good old Jimmy. Players who certainly don't have big inflated egos or were just here because of the memories of Jose

At least in Ranieri we played with passion and character. You felt proud to support these players.

So frank has never played with passion and character aye?? You should take a trip over to youtube, type in Frank Lampard and refresh that memory of yours.. Frank was sick of losing! Even when he wasn't playing, they were still losing. Don't blame Frank or any players for the mistakes AVB made when he joined our club.. He is simply too young and too inexperienced to handle our boys. Like I said in another post, the players need somebody to look up to, they are not going to look up to the guy that use to get Mourinho his coffee..

He turned on the club first, and that's a fact.

Fact?? Did he turn on the club or the guy thats getting paid to manage us?? Frank was sick of seeing his club fall further down the ladder, so were 90% of the fans and most of the players. AVB already wrote us off in all competitions! what manager does that??? AVB dug his own grave with is team selection in Napoli and his constant selection of Bosingwa and Meireles. At the end of the day Frank isn't the first player to fall out with his manager and he won't be the last.. It happens every day.

Closed doors? It was happening out in the open, Frank made sure of that after the game against wolves and with his "not ideal" comments. It does not take two to figure out that he stopped working for the manager long before he got sacked.

Believe me mate, we were getting a very watered down version of the events inside Cobham. Since the handling of Anelka and Alex, the players simply lost respect for him. He tried to take respect before he earned it. This was his biggest mistake..

Don't try and justify his attitude, we have direct quotes.. it's not a conspiracy. If you support Lampard over the club, YOU are the plastic.

You love that word aye?? Plastic..

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Oh my god. Are we seriously calling fans 'plastic' because Lampard's disrespected the management this season?

Call a dog a dog. Lampard is a legend prior to this season, but the fact is, he's acted like a c'nt. To deny so, is putting the man above the club. I respect Lampard, I won't forget the great years he's given us.. But he absolutely deserves to be slated this season.

We're not 'plastic', we're 'realistic'.

[manpe 10,861]

It's just football for fuck sake. What you type on an internet forum is not going to change anything so keep your stupid fucking comments to yourself.

That would void the need for a forum, why not close it altogether if our "comments won't change anything"? Or are we only allowed to post rosy stuff? Some people act as if nothing's wrong with the club.

Lampard acted like a cunt and got Scolari fired, and no-one even cared. Despite the fact Scolari had a better record and we played far more attractive and fluid football. Just saying.

Fair point. But my point was about those spewing the 'plastic' labels. Lampard deserves criticisms, those who apply it aren't 'plastic' at all.

The players who have gotten Scolari sacked were world class. The players who have gotten André sacked are average at best.

[Kieran. 6,317]

I'll say it again:

No "legend" would put himself above the club for his own benefit.

I agree but what about an "untouchable"?

[Amblève. 4,995]

I agree but what about an "untouchable"?

There's no "untouchables". There's just players who give effort and players who don't.

[bababoom 4,478]

I know emotions are running high, but i still think he is a Legend.

Maybe people are overreacting a bit, i'm pretty sure if we see Lampard holding up a trophy this year (unlikely but you get what i mean) many people will change there mind.

Even if he was one of the reasons AVB lost his job, he is not the only reason.

But i am disappointed if it's true about the way he treated AVB... it's devastating that AVB slept at the training ground some nights, he was so devoted but i guess we just have to move forward...

[daBlackMamba7 174]

To the Lampard supporters out there, it seems a lot of you have not seen what it means to be a true legend for a team and win titles and give it your all regardless....I being a life long fan of the LA Lakers know a through sport Legend in Kobe Bryant, to those of you who dont know he has won all his championship rings and almost if not all his MVP titles under one manager Phil Jackson and the popular "triangle offense", but Kobe loves winning more than life itself and would never put that in front of anything....Fast forward 2011 Big Phil walks and retires, Kobe's publicly came out and said he wanted the assiant coach to carry on with Big Phil's legacy, but the board went over and signed Mike Brown...This is Kobe Bryant here and a 16year veteran, 5 championship rings, 2 time finals MVP, Olympic gold medalist, i can't start going on about his stats, he has won everything in basketball..Just google him if you live under a rock....

This year he had to learn a total new system, focusing more on defense and with and aging point guard, but did this Legend bitch to the media or sulk about that?...Nope...He has been on fire this season averaging 30points a game, playing his freaking heart out like he has done all 16years for the team, the jersey, the city and the fans learnt the new system and frustrated D Wade to fould out because of his defense last night....

So Frank "super frankie" Lampard, is a spoilt brat in my eyes, who because of his inability to learn a new system refuse to give his heart and whole to the team...Regardless of whatever, i will never forgive a "chelsea legend" Frank Lampard for walking around the pitch like he doesnt give a shit and talking crap to the media and his general attitude....Make your statement on the pitch bro and man up or fuck off...Chelsea FC was here before you and have had legends greater than frank and we will always be here after him and legends will always be made....Goddamnint if i can curse out Kobe for making 2-12 shots in his worst game this season who the fuck is frank walking around the pitch Lampard...

We all need a reality check sometimes....Is he a Chelsea Legend and helped win us trophies in the past...Fuck Yeah!!...Nobody is saying otherwise....But what has he done this season to deserve a constant playing, yeah the team was loosing while he was on the bench...Did he make any difference when he started?.....Those pointing to the Napoli game, are obviously forgetting the team that just lost to West Brom....They obviously couldnt see the invisible super frankie all game as well until he threw the last minute chance.....So what have given him the right to bitch or sulk?...

End of Rant

[eldo 868]

Do you remember when he scored against Bolton? He tapped the badge, it was a clear message to the fans something like 'choose me'.

And we chose him for West Brom, just didnt know he was gonna be wearing that shirt..................you know; the invisible one. disgracing that same badge....

He's been wearing that for most of the season. Can't believe how people even used misleading stats to make a point that he was valuable to the team. On the other hand Kalou and stats...

To expand on dBM7's post thinking about Kobe and Frank... Kobe is a Lakers legend and he is THE ALPHA DOG at the Lakers (he's Terry, Cole, Cech, Lampard, Drogba all rolled into one in that aspect) and has been since he was 18 years old (even if he wasn't ready). Even at 33 years old Kobe still amazes this long time Lakers supporter. There are days like dBM7 when I wonder why Kobe is being so freakin' selfish. But Kobe believes (and so do most Lakers supporters) that he is the best option for the Lakers to win. All he wants to do is win games and championships/rings. I respect that because I know as a Lakers fan it's not for lack of trying.

Watching him this year, he's not done yet, his performance level hasn't dropped. In two years the Lakers will need to decide what to do with Kobe when his contract is up. Do you reward the legend with another contract or do you let him ride off into the sunset? Does he stick around a season too long and people start to question if he's lost a step? Does he walk away on his own terms at the highest level or does he walk away with people remembering the "old" Kobe? It will be a sad day when KBB walks away from the Lakers, similar to what many here feel about Frank and CFC. My head may say one thing but my heart will probably say another.

Bottom line: Having Frank in the lineup, is he the best option for CFC to win?

Spot on pretty much every thing ...Wanted to highlight so many things that i decided to just leave it....The feeling when The Kobe (Black Mamba) walks is honestly unimaginable.....And you have rightly laid out his flaws....I believe Kobe is smart enough to know when he is past it, when he knows he cant push his body any further...If you noticed towards the end of last season his shot was off, that was the first time his wrist really started affecting him....Off season he went off to Germany for some experimental surgery and seeing what he is doing this season i can say that was a success....Kobe will never want to be the underdog, he will rather walk than play shit...If you remember when Lakers was shit after Phil left the first time and we were so shit he threaten to walk and his main reason was because he didnt feel like they can win and as soon when his short started going off he went for surgery that he put off forever, and the thing with Kobe's is when he is playing like shit he creates for the team, he make the team play for him...They want to win sometimes more for because Kobe is having a bad day out, Game 7 2010 finals against the Celtics spring to mind...When he wasnt up for it on the most important day, but he made that pass for crazy Ron Artest that made the big 3...In the words of Ron "Kobe never passes to me and he passed me the ball...Oh my God...Kobe passed me the ball....

But frank doesnt do that...He doesnt justify his starting in any way, he plays like shit and he doesnt use his status to inspire the team, seems like he has lost his desire most time to win...Only after that goal, he holds the badge when he really did nothing all through that game to deserve holding that badge in most aspect...The recent Bolton game springs to mind....

Fuck this shit....Coming out the other day and saying those who have been in chelsea care more and letting Luiz, Cahill, Mata, Iva, even Rami whom have obviously been at chelsea 100years longer than Super Frankie have a better performance than him in the next game against WEST BROM?....Are you kidding me?....A legend lifts his team no matter what, when you freaking put in a good shift the team will play with you motherfucker, not dragging the team down with your lackadaisical performances and firting with them delusional fans with your occasional goals to make them sing your name inspite of the crap performance he constantly dishes out....

P.S Tortilla, i like dBM7..Sound really cool :eyebrows:

I was too lazy to type the name out tbh.

Sidetrack - A few months ago, my daughter and I looked at the schedule, looked for good seats at a reasonable price, i.e. crappy opponent, and got tickets for the Lakers vs Minnesota game, first game after D-Wade broke Kobe's nose. My daughter already has 2 Kobe jerseys but needed a new one for the game. I'm a sucker and got her a new one. All I can say....Kobe is a beast and his desire to win is so palpable. After the game my daughter said, "He's kinda scary how intense he is, I like it".

Let's see some intensity from the Chelsea professionals . Too much to ask for?

Gave you a rep cos of that and the sheer cuteness and awesomeness of the story....His desire to win drives him so much, through injuries and the "its just gross mask" and he plays his heart out time and time again.....It is not too much to ask, especially from those that claim to love the club most...How can he justify saying that after the old guards performances?
