Frank Lampard

[Blue Armour 4,436]

You know what angers me? You people say you are Chelsea fans yet you hate the players/managers. Why don't you support them? The players are the club. If our top scorer this year (Lampard) is shit to you then why do you support chelsea?. He has helped us out for quite a long time.

I will admit Lampard has said some stupid things but do you think he used all his power to get AVB out? Of course not. Try supporting people instead of hating them, you feel much happier.

Well said.

Merged with the Frank Lampard thread....

[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.

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...

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?...
