Frank Lampard

[Strike 7,303]

wow. it's official!

[The only place to be 11,313]

I've been critical of his performances this seasons and I still have reservations over what this means for the midfield next season, but right now I'm just delighted that such a phenomenal ambassador for this club is sticking around for at least one more year.

The club did the right thing in not just doling out a contract but taking their time and maybe even getting a better deal for the club. One would also hope that they've consulted the new manager and included him in the discussion, and if it is who we think it is then I trust his judgment.

So...wages? I wonder who gave in..

Guardian, yesterday, suggested he had. I really don't want to hear he's anything near the £80-100k region.

Lampard will hopefully play the 'Paul Scholes' role next season. Playing the Premier League games right before a crunch CL game to rest players, playing in the League Cup, FA Cup and games like home to Cardiff, home to Hull, Home to Norwich etc where he will get space in midfield

The 'practical' part of my mind can't help but hope that he has taken a big wage cut.

Delighted for frank for both the record and the new contract,

With jose looking like a return, dodging the falcao bullet, talk of cavani coming in and lamps,cole staying, benetiez going this next season could shape up to be one of the best ever.

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

Lamps's performances in the very crucial games this season once again proved his critics wrong. He remains, no matter his age, one of the best midfielders in the world, individually (also if not in the pivot), and one of the best and most important players in the team. Prolonging his contract was the only reasonable decision and probably the threat of him leaving was never as great as the media made it look like. Funny enough, that the people who want him out of this club, in the end took all their medial vindication out of nothing but hot air. In the end they were completely alone with their delusions.

I do not really like these Scholes/Giggs comparisons. They never were anywhere near as good as Lampard and their contribution, even in their prime, which feels like 900 years ago, is ridiculous compared to Lamps's. I got not the shadow of a doubt that Lamps will be waaay more effective. Lamps simply is the greatest player ever to wear the shirt and that is so much more than a career artificially prolonged into mediocrity.

Terry's the biggest on the team, I was choking on my laughter when I saw him change into his kit.

Sorry mate, but I don't think you'll find a single football fan who thinks that.

LOL at Gourlay's statement, making it look as if he had signed at least a 4-year contract.

Emotional moments at the POTY ceremony, Bobby and Frank together.

I already did. My brother and some mates of me agreed wih me, when I made this point. but this is not the point. Do you really think collecting opinions is an epistemologically valuable way to finding the truth?I will ask my mathmatics professor why we do not simply make a survey and ask the people what the right solution is instead of this strenious thinking and reasoning...yup just let's put an "Is there anyone else who thinks that?" and leave it at that

Damn this news made me so happy. Wonder what JM will do with him once he comes (I mean come on we all know). Was well deserved and at least JT, AC3, and now Frankie can all go out together.

I honestly see them letting 2/3 players go in response to last year's drama under AVB. But we'll all talk about that later, lets just celebrate the good news.
