Frank Lampard

[Fernando 6,376]

Well he did join Chelsea after leaving Arsenal and Barcelona so I guess he has moved on. I guess he just doesn't want people to hate him for continuing life somewhere else.

More like he doesn't want people to hate him.

But he knows that they already do.

I think Arsenal fans are like Terminator X who are irrational and will just vent hate at any opportunities to an ex player despite the past he had with the club.

Lampard & Terry are part of an elite group of players who have surpassed the point where moving to a competitive rival is 'acceptable'. Throughout Frank's career he has been heralded as 'proper chels', an icon and has acknowledged this, endorsed it and alluded to it himself. He's made countless extra commerical revenue through that special 'proper chels image', via his relationship with the fans. Football is tribal, supporting 'a' particular club is for romantics.. we know 99.9% only care about money, but Lampard was one you thought had a code, a moral compass as a result of his status.

Even if you were right aren't you getting bored of posting the same damn comment over and over and over and over again?

Get a grip, man.

It's all a game though. They say those things because that's what fans want to hear. I never believe a word any footballer says when it comes to these matters. It's all about their actions.

Honestly, I think you have to be naive to believe all the 'proper Chels' stuff in the first place. John Terry is from east London and grew up supporting Man United. If the club wasn't taken over by Abramovich he'd no doubt have moved on to a club that would have given him a better salary/career prospects (he was linked with both Arsenal and Man Utd if I recall correctly). Oh, and didn't he flirt with Man City when they came in for him a few years ago? Pwopa Chels tho init

Just appreciate the players for their talent and what them while playing for the club. Don't project stuff on them or expect them to take the club as seriously as we do. It really is just a job for most of these guys.

Just seen he's scored again for City tonight in the cup

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Lampard score again? I can't sleep well tonight

[The_Flash 1,144]

Good for him maybe if he impresses his money bags friends there he can get a deal to sat at City forever forget this New York City rubbish, lol

Let's not fool ourselves. It is never about "love" in professional football. He is a legend because he scored an unbelievable amount of goals, had an incredible number of great performances and won us a load titles not because he loved or pretended to love the club some much. He might very well have developed some affinity to the club, which he displayed e.g. by his friendly and honest communication with the fans and staying here despite offers from BArca, Real and INter. Yes he milked it and got a big contract by flirting with those clubs but that contract was no more than he deserved. But in the end his carreer and also his personal benefits were more important to him and that is totally fine. When you have been at a company for 10+ years and now your contract ends and you get a better offer from a rival company, you'd probably take it too.

The ones outraging about Lampard joining another club have probably been deluded by some imaginations of love. Love is seldom found in football. You, he is not the first club legend to join a rival club after they got no extension. He is a goal machine and a winner, which is why he is a legend and he has continued to be so and we seen that from the other side now. He has never been disloyal to us. Infact he has been loyal to us as long as he was our player. 13 years is a long time in modern football. He will return to the club, because he is a legend and will be loyal again. IN truth to most players football clubs are companies, employers. People very seldom love their employer, even if they have performed well for them for over 10 years.

Term X probably thinks Lamps is a traitor because he celebrated his goal

[Special Juan 27,104]

He's got two goals now…….how dare he.

[zolayes 14,489]

not a bad loan signing

[sherry33 234]

Those goals are probably enough for MoneyWhorepard to get him long waited extension.

Not going to lie, fucking lost it. MoneyWhorePard? What type of insult even is that

[bababoom 4,478]

You are comparing 'real world' employee situations with a footballer?, Oh dear. If you're going down that road you will have to be more specific about which type of job and role you are referring to. Because not many situations are comparable, unless Burger King has encorporated 44k seat stadia around the fryers.

[Laylabelle 9,301]

Meh.he scores its what he does.

N course it'd rarely about love just the way it is.Rooney staying at Man U weren't down to love..money talks
