Let's say Paul has been a Chelsea fan for 20 years. Most Stamford Bridge goers know the guy. Said he'll "never support another club in his life" and he's "chelseablue4lyfe". Then because of Chelsea's last season decision of being back Mourinho (he was never a Mourinho fan) moved suddenly to support City.

You'll ask him, why did you move? Answer: "I'll always love Chelsea and the fans I've met but I have to be a professional fan and stand by my rights."

Would you believe Paul? No, you'll call him a plastic/traitor fan and a liar.

I'm sorry, anyone who loves Lampard this much, should go and support City. I'm telling you RIGHT now, if we look in to Lampard's heart, he has no regret of what he's done. From wearing that ugly blue shirt TO scoring a goal against us. Maybe he needs to score a goal against us at the Bridge before all fans understand that he doesn't care much about this club anymore. He moved on. The fact that he agreed to stay with City 'til the end of the season proves this.

P.S - No one is questioning what Lampard has done for us in the past. No one. It's what he's doing NOW that angers me so much.

how long have you been a fan ,, your profile doesn't say ?

I don't understand the argument that the club didn't show any loyalty to Lampard. We kept him well after his best on ridiculously high wages and offered him a new contract on lower wages but he refused. What do people expect, that the board keep him on forever and on wages of 150k/week? We showed enough loyalty to him over the years and as Jose said the club were/are willing to give him some kind of management role. He showed absolutely no loyalty once he saw the $ signs from City though.

Horrible weekend of Premier League football.

To say Southampton were poor against City would be an understatement. Played like a team second from bottom rather than second from top. In fact, having watched their last two matches, Southampton looked like a distinctly average side. The hype about them seems rather misplaced.

On the other hand, I feel sick every time Lampard scores and speaks for City. Still can't believe he's actually playing for them. Absolutely piss taking!

Im still uncertain by that ''we didnt want him anymore''. Im sure we offered him smaller fee and less games (legend, but understandable because of his age), and he refused it. He wanted money, he wanted play time ELSEWHERE instead of helping our team as much as he could. I like him for what he did to us, but proper legend stays loyal.

Im sure if I was playing for Chelsea for past 10 years, earned shitload of money, and had my career built by Chelsea like Lamps, I couldnt have heart to join another rival team at age 36. You fucking retire around that age or help the team as much as you can. You accept lower payment because you would 100% work in the board sooner or later and got paid for that too. Im sure money wouldnt be reason to go away. He also won every fucking thing he could here. And this season, it was known that we are team to win title, so he doesnt have more chance to win it at City, than he would have here.

Stop this bullshit around us not wanting him here anymore. Mou brought 36 yo Drogba who has world class Costa who plays ahead and he still accepted the job. Im sure Mou would offer Lamps some role here, smaller definately, with paycut, but honestly its what Lamps is nowdays. He couldnt play starter here anymore tbh. And Lamps said no. If he went to fucking spain, france, china, turkey or wherever, I would understand it. But not city and trying to play better for them than he did for us last season. Make whatever excuse to feel bit better about Lamps, but he will still play for city. Nedved played in fucking 2nd league and probably would do it for free. Lamps is another professional. He was top player for us, but he isnt chelsea fan. This is harsh, but I dare you tell me of a true chelsea fan who would go to play for city if he had chance to play for Chelsea?

I'm quite convinced we didn't offer him a new contract at all.

We barely did it the season before. It took ages if you remember correctly... there was no reason to keep a player as expensive as him to be the 4th or 5th in the pecking order

FRANK LAMPARD admits he is disappointed that Manchester City are six points below Chelsea

The former Blues star scored in Citys 3-0 win over Southampton today that sees Manuel Pellegrinis men keep the pressure on Jose Mourinhos league leaders.

But Lampard insists he will not be happy until City sit atop the English ladder.

We all look at tables during the week, and we are disappointed with where we are for a club like City, but we have to keep winning, keep moving forwards and go game by game, he told Sky Sports.

Please I want the source. If this is true, then there should be NO reason to support this guy anymore. NONE.

Screw anyone who still finds a silly reason. This is Chelsea FC, not Lampard FC.

If this is true, he is no better than Van Persie, in fact he could be worse than RVP as Lampard was a Chelsea legend!!!

Edit: crap, he's banned. Don't know where he got this from.

Here he said it.

Jamie Redknapp also said it:

Redknapp said: “No doubt he’s looking forward to his American adventure but right now he will be focused on one thing: hunting down Chelsea.

“He’ll say all the right things in public but make no mistake, Frank is a winner. He’d love nothing more than to help City beat Chelsea to the title.”

Before the Sunderland game this was the one I was more worried about as Spurs always play hard against us.

And seeing how we are getting fatigue it might be complicated game.

The only great thing that will make a difference is that we are playing home.
