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

He looks like a muppet now. Not winning anything at City while tarnishing his status over here and making New York fans angry. Well that was some decision Frankie.

Genuinely can't believe people are defending him going to our direct rivals for the league. He's going there to train? Yeah because he can't run in America right.

Thirteen seasons of service, three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups, Chelsea's first ever Champions League, Chelsea's top goalscorer of all time and apparently this guy is not a legend any more. I'm done.

Jimmy Greaves and Gus Poyet moved to Spurs, they're both Chelsea legends, not traitors though?

You can be mad at Frank but calling him a traitor is too far.

I don't hear Gus Poyet's name mentioned at all today among the fans as a fantastic legend, and if his name gets called out, it's because he's the Sunderland coach. Maybe that's why Chelsea can't beat Sunderland. Solves that mystery.

Jimmy is more of a Spurs legend. He's remembered a lot in Spurs as he is the highest goalscorer for them. I mean really? We are sharing legends with SPUDS?!

And I'm trying to understand why not calling him a traitor is a bit too far. Lampard is exactly the definition of that word.

@Mana is right. No disrespect to Greaves or Poyet, they're club legends, but their importance in relation to Lampard isn't quite the same. Moving to Tottenham isn't nice, but it's not like they impose themselves on our success.. Much like Cudicini going to Tottenham. Also, they didn't go under false pretences of going to a club abroad, just to use it a springboard to jump to our title rivals.

Being loyal to one club extends their stay at said club. The way they conduct themselves upon their departure has an impact on their status.. Gallas made an absolute tit of himself after he left, Joe Cole did to an extent. Drogba remained humble and respectful when he left. As did Carvalho, Ash, Essien even Shevchenko ffs.

It's all good to chant 'Super Frankie Lampard' at the Bridge, but there's enough people staying silent through this because of his actions. Silence overcomes the temptation of booing because we want to remain a touch classier and humble as compared to Lampard.

The thing that pisses me off is, Frank knew from the beginning he was going to stay at City, I believe. But he tried to save face and make it seem like he wasn't. That's what annoys me, if he had said he still thought he could compete here and wanted to stay in the PL, cool. But he wants everyone to like him and it's not gonna happen.

Yep he threw that all away by betraying us. Think of a superhero like Superman that we all once loved. Just because he helped us in the past protecting us, doesn't mean we should respect Superman for turning against us now and destroying our city.

And don't act like Lampard was the main reason we won those trophies. Drogba, Terry, Cech, Cole (ya know, the real legends?) Ramires, Cahill, Oscar, Ivanovic, Luiz and more...even freaking Fernando Torres contributed towards those trophies.

Lampard showed us no respect by going to City.

Did Torres show lil'pool respect by signing for Chelsea? Did Ronaldo loose his figure at united by knocking them out of the champions league? Mark Hughes? Peter schmiechel? I love Dortmund but doesn't change my feeling towards goetze and lewa cos they don Bayern Jersey now....all am saying is while it hurts from the fan perspective, its football and you gotta appreciate that he gave the best part of his career to Chelsea...

How many of those names were seen as actual club legends? None of those are at the same level that Lampard is (or better, was) with Chelsea. You really can't compare.

Schmiechel was and he played for our noisy neighbours! He still is my fav keeper after VDS.

The only reason why his contract has been extended is because he's done extremely well for them in the short period of time. This only proves that we made a mistake of letting him go because clearly he's still top class and is content with a squad player role.

Right, but despite the rivalry between you guys and City, back then they weren't title contenders by any means. Big Pete wasn't going to help take the PL title away from you. And he didn"t join them right after leaving United.

PS: he's also a bit of a legend over here at Sporting, the dane. ;)

For the last time, he is still a legend to over 95% of people here, but he has significantly fallen down the pecking order. Before this, he had the perfect image; I didn't think anyone could be more 'proper Chels' than Frank Lampard - how wrong I was.

We are not confusing being a legend of a footballer with being a lying, attention-seeking, money-grabbing cunt of a person. :)

Please enough of this Lampard this and that. The guy has always been a selfish self centered person. Its all about Lamps. always all about him. I cannot get past when Drogba needed one goal to win the goal awards in the EPL and Lampard refused to him play the penalty that would have guaranteed the award. Fortunately, we got another PK and that was how Drogba ended up winning it. He knew what he was doing.

Lamps never left London. They sent all the fans to New York while he sat there conniving and lied to everyone. That is what is pissing off everyone. Its not that he went to play for City, that has got little to do with it. Just tell the truth and be done with it. His own cousin ratted him out on Daily mail, the day he scored the goal against us. He even went out and celebrated on town with his wife and some team players.

Compare that to Stevie G. I believe him and he's man enough to even vow that he will not play against Liverpool.Big respect to Steve. But Lampard! Hmn.. another story. I've already moved past him. Right now to me he is Lamps who? His attitude is just comparable to a weasle. Just be a man and tell everyone your intentions. Plain and simple. Like the wise men have always said, "It takes a lifetime to make a friend, but it only takes 5 minutes to make an enemy out of man". Great job Lamps. You've done well.

Yeah doubt they thought he'd have such a impact.Could've easily been a Torres situation and just forget how to play but nope

Those fans who brought season tickets etc...cant say he'll get the welcome he would've done should he go back to New York when the seasons over
