Frank Lampard

[didierforever 7,349]

If your friend betrays you but the end result doesn't give you the maximum damage, is he a better person then?

If your friend tries to hack your computer but your firewall is just too stong, does that make him less guilty?

I appreciate what he did for the club, but he was an employee then with a contract and massive wages.

But when he was released, he just showed his true colors by making up stories, lying to us and NY fans and joined our biggest rival and made things more difficult for us by scoring for them in many matches.

As a fan I feel betrayed, and having won the EPL does not change my feeling for what he did.

This opinion will never change, no matter what BS he post on Instagram/Twitter or interviews blaming us not giving him a proper goodbye.

Unless he admits he was wrong and apologize to the fans, this feeling won't change.

you can look at it this way

he was an employee of CFC. gave his blood, sweat, heart and soul to the club. when he was on a contract he did everything for us that a legend should, an ideal employee should do.

yes, on an emotional level, he did wrong by us. but, personally, i will choose to remember him for the 14 years of great service than a year of mistake.

In the future, whenever someone is going to do a documentary about Frank, or do a bit about his career or record goals from midfield, they will likely show an image of his last match in the EPL and it will be him in a CIty shirt with the armband around his arm.

Let that sink in for a second...

You have hit the mark. It is easy to forget what he did because unfortunately for him, there were no consequences. He failed to help the City to win the title, but if anyone has any doubt that he wanted it more than anything and that if successful would have been the happiest in the world at the cost of our failure is that is fooling himself.

No they wouldn't. They would likely show an image of him in a Chelsea shirt holding the PL or CL trophy.

There would be more than 1 image

Exactly.....

[Thendo 1,088]

Ofcourse he scores...

Of course they would. If you're talking about a player's long career you're going to show his last game, if you're talking about his goal record you're going to show his last goal. Now, both will be with him captaining City.

If you are going to narrow the moment down like that then yes it will be in a City shirt obviously. But if you generalise his career, as a documentary would, it would all be Chelsea shirts and Chelsea trophies.

People on here don't mind that Lampard completely lied to us and moved to City in the sneakiest way possible then? Because you didn't like that, you're automatically branded a Lampard hater and automatically you're ungrateful for everything he's done at the club.

Ridiculous really.

At the end of the day is that 2-3m net worth it over another BPL title? I am sure Frank will be asking himself this question for maybe the rest of his life in private. Sure he might point that money put food on the table and put his kids to uni, but with him being worth like 20m+ now is it REALLY WORTH IT over the BPL title he would have won has he chosen to stay for at least 1 season on much lesser wages?

Anyway now he is leaving BPL for good I just hope the people still hating him to stop and accept he is one of us. He made choices and I am sure he has some regret about it whether he will ever admit it or not, the only difference between Lampard and Drogba 2012 was that one went a direct rival while the other went to a Eastern Europe country.

Even if he might have erred by not being open about his move to City, is he really beyond any form of forgiveness? I guess its ok to be angry with him for that, but I can't understand posts that tell Frank to buzz off just because he recollected his glory days with Chelsea. That's just silly and ridiculous. He has more rights to that Chelsea CL win than anyone on this forum.

Seeing Xavi's farewell yesterday, its sad that Lamps had to go out in a City shirt. Proper Chelsea legend.
