Frank Lampard

[Hutcho 8,443]

I think that if Roma were to play against us and Ash had a part in it, he would get a standing ovation on Stamford, even if he scored a goal. Now if you're talking about Ash going to LA Galaxy and going back on loan to Liverpool and scoring, now that's a whole different story, mate.

Something about Lamps the last few years was really fishy, from AVB saga to always having a problem with signing a contract since he was past 30. Remember Micha? He wanted a 50% pay cut just to stay for 2 years.

The whole thing is just wrong on so many levels and it's just sad that we have to sit here and discuss whether one of our best players, if not the best player, we've had is still worthy of a legend status.

I still love Lamps, I remember running around the pitch when I was younger and trying to imitate him, when I scored a goal from distance I yelled LAMPAARD like crazy.

But the thing is, this whole saga floats so much shit every weekend. From him signing just to stay fit when Villa chose Melbourne, to him saying it was just for the English National Team and then retiring, to the obvious participation in the game, different emotions and eventually signing an extension.

Fucking football, man...

I was not saying Gala and City are the same thing just making a point.

Lampard still got a standing ovation after scoring against us playing for city. That says all that needs to be said about how high he is still thought of by a lot of fans.

But the 2 sides of this are never gonna agree. Clearly i think that people are making a hella of a fuss out of nothing and vice versa. It is what it is.

Great post.

If you compile the anti-Lamps posts with the pro-Lamps content, the anti side is a LOT STRONGER, we go into a lot more depth, there really is no counter-argument.

There are plenty of counter arguments, you just go on and on about how much money he made from being the face of Chelsea or some shit.

[quote name="HRiver" post="990939" I strongly believe that he will remember that goal as a singular achievement in his career for the rest of his life, I am convinced it is right up there with Munich, Bolton etc. for him.

Lampard will now be known as the ex-Manchester City player. Fact.

You mention Lampard, and the first image I have of him is in a City shirt. This has left a big stain on his career and anyone who disagrees is deluded. If you still love him as much as you once did, then good for you. Personally I won't be able to look at him the same way anymore.

A goal he scored in September to salvage a draw for a club he is on loan to will rank up there with goals he scored to win the league? And get to the CL final? Hmm.

Lol he won't be remembered as a Chelsea player?

You don't remember his penalty vs Liverpool? Or goals vs Bolton? Shame.

Well, he wanted to burn down the Chelsea museum amid the speculations of Jose going to United. He also refused to be proud of the back to back titles. And those were just pure speculations. Imagine now, with Lamps actually wearing the sky blue shirt. I guess he deleted or erased all the videos about Munich or Bolton, as Lamps is dead to him.

Yea in his mind, JT or Drogs scored those goals.

Watching him after his goal, he just got up and walked away. He looked gutted. After the game he barely acknowledged the City fans and went straight to the Chelsea fans. It looked as if he was going to burst into tears. In 3 post match interviews of his I have seen of his, he always referred to City as 'City' or 'this club', he never used the words 'us' or 'we'. I don't think he feels any affiliation with them at all. He is a Chelsea boy at heart and always will be.

Lampard told City TV: "When we had 11 men we were the stronger team and when we went down to 10 men I think the desire to get back (into) the game meant you didn't even notice we had 10."

"They are all important points. We had a tough start on paper and we are further behind than we would like to be but if we get some flow we can get right up there and we deserve to be right up there."

Well, since it's pretty clear that we won't reach a conclusion, the only thing that we can do is to agree to disagree. It's not like there's a law saying that Lampard is a Chelsea legend and he's untouchable. If people choose to consider him a traitor, let them. If people choose to consider him a legend, let them. This so called 'debate' is useless and it's got way too far, in the moment when people started taking it personal and judging others. Time to get over it.

I can only take your word on that one. I haven't seen City TV.

Maybe a poll could settle it. Forgiven or Never Forgiven. Open for a week, make your vote and the outcome is the outcome. Debate put to bed
