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...
