Super Frank Thread

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Such a modest, classy man. He is really the guy who should receive knighthood by her majesty, but probably never will cos the Queen is Arsenal supporter.

here a nice gallery of some of his most important goals. I remember all of them too well.

Also amazing feat by Cech to carry a big man like Frank on his shoulders.

The day he leaves Chelsea will be a truly, truly sad day.

LAMPARD YOUR AMAZING !

[Hutcho 8,443]

Whatever happens come the end of the season, I will always remember Frank Lampard as the greatest player to have ever put on a Chelsea shirt. It has been an absolute pleasure to watch Frank play week in week out for us, with true pride and grace.

It is chilling to watch that video of Harry Redknapp telling a muggy West Ham fan how Lampard will go right to the absolute top when he was a teenager. He has always led by example as a role model and deserves every last bit of praise he gets. He has provided us with some of our greatest moments as fans and I cannot thank him enough. He will be one of the players the grandchildren always ask about and I'll be able to tell them what an incredible man and footballer he was and that i have had the privilege of seeing him play.

Thankyou so much Frank.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Well done sir.

Congratulations to Frank. Absolutely delighted for him. Class act on and off the pitch with his backing of the Teenage Cancer Trust. Delighted for him

Looked better in my head.. but anyway I made this:

[Special Juan 28,096]

Living legend, nothing more and nothing else. This guy delivered at Bolton many years ago, numerous league games, numerous CL ties and a final and not only that but FA Cup finals.

Frank if I could meet you I would beg you to stay, my words would do no good because Chelsea make their own choice, but from me and nearly every CFC fan....Congratulations and thank you for everything you have done for this, and my football club....I love you and we love you.

Respect.

[Billy. 2,742]

Well what can be said, firstly I am gutted that I missed the game due to a work training thing.

on the record fucking legend what else can be said

he is a true gent on and off the pitch and I would love to meet him one day

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Such a modest, classy man. He is really the guy who should receive knighthood by her majesty, but probably never will cos the Queen is Arsenal supporter.

Absolutely.

Our fans in England should really talk about this more often and try to put pressure on the media somehow.

Are there any other clubs who have a midfielder as their all time top scorer? I would really like to know, because I can't think of any.

Also, Lamps isn't just an attacking midfielder, he isn't the kind whose only duty is to attack. It's really easy to forget that because of the insane amount of goals he scores. But we must remember he isn't only about goals, he used to play defensive midfield and this season he plays deeper too. In the games where we needed to defend, he was immense. He's always been a tireless workhorse, trying to perfect everything there is to perfect as a footballer. As a result he became the complete player we now see.

He does it all - defending, tackling, scoring, poaching, assisting, passing, corners, penalties, free kicks, right foot, left foot, mid range, long range shooting.

We talk about the Peles and Maradonas and Zidanes and Ronaldos and Messis of the world, but they have/had only one job to do, they are/were not even remotely close to being complete players. Therefore I refrain myself from automatically naming an attacker as the best, because for me, the best are those who are most complete. Lampsy fits the criteria.

I don't think we really understand how good he was during his prime, it was unprecedented. He is a unique player throughout the world. Every other player you can compare to somebody, but you can't do that with Lampard. The closest you can come with comparisons are still too far. He really should have won the Ballon d'Or at least once, but the wankfest over flashy attackers robbed him continuously.

He is a brilliant player, a brilliant person. Thank you, Frank.

The worst buy this season has to be Lampard. I can't honestly understand why Chelsea bought him. What has Lampard actually achieved in the Premiership? On the other hand Poyet is a bargain.
Ross Peacock, England

Ravanelli will prove all his doubters wrong with around 20 goals while overrated Lampard will struggle!
Chris Slater, England

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

He did it.

[manpe 10,861]

So when does everyone think he will break 200? Hopefuly he can pass Tamblings phenomenal 203 goals! I think he will do it by 2013. Maybe 2012!

This thread is legendary.
