Super Frankie Lampard

Post northbankboy68 »

I have never understood our fans' loathing of Frank Lampard.  I watched him as a youngster playing for us.  He always gave 100% and performed well while our fans taunted him singing that he was only in the team because of his dad.  Then when the club unceremoniously sacked his dad the fans taunted him because he wanted to leave.  Who could blame him.  He went on to realise his full potential for club and country and now he is performing admirably as a coach for Coventry City who are looking good for promotion.  When he turns up with them at London Stadium, I for one will not be jeering him.  Well played son!

This the player who said he hoped to score the goal that relegated us?
Can remember Joe Cole saying that after Chelsea games he’d look out for our score hoping we’d won & Lampard would laugh at him

In a separate interview he said he still looked out for West Ham results in the hope that we had lost.

And yes, whilst with us, he did carry a bit of weight not conducive to elite athletic performance.
So apart from all that you can’t remember what he said. Right ho.

Exactly, Ron. As a rule, we don’t boo ex-players. I know a lot of other teams’ fans who do, but they don’t seem to get stick from the media for it. Generally, it’s once a Hammer, always a Hammer, unless you behave like a cսnt and forget where you came from.

I always find it so lazy when we as a fanbase are accused of being unforgiving and holding a grudge because players leave for better things. 

Look at it another way, those that leave the club the right way get applauded. Those that act a cսnt, get treated like a cսnt. 

Example leavers: Carrick, gave us a season in the Championship, applauded even though he went to Spurs. Tevez, always spoke positively of the club. Even Ferdinand, albeit, he makes my skin crawl these days, and Joe Cole one indiscretion at UP aside which he immediately realised and apologised for. 

Wankers: Ince, no need to explain, Lampard, slagged the club and its fans at every opportunity. Defoe, transfer request a day after relegation.

It’s not rocket science. I like that we hold grudges in these examples. All decent fans do, it’s adds a bit of character to atmospheres. 

On a side note about Joe Cole, I bumped into him and his family on Battersea bridge once post retirement, and his kids were fully decked out in West Ham kit rather than Chelsea. Sure they probably have both, but at least he remembers where he came from.

Many moons ago he pestered an old mate of Mrs V asking to take her out, used to turn up at her house in all his flash motors, and was quite put out that she refused his offers.

Let's also not forgot how much he wanted to score that penalty against us in the cup game at Stamford Bridge.

What I like about our fanbase is once someone crosses us we never, ever forget it. We're stubborn belligerent bastards but if you do good by us, we will show you great loyalty and support on the flip side of that.

Ince, Lampard Jr, Defoe will forever be tarnished with the shit stick.

That was around the same time as he started one interview stating he didn’t think about the club anymore, before going on to slag off the fans/club for the next four or five paragraphs.

I've got no problem at all with him giving it back. That's what it's all about.

Pretty cuntish and unnecessary really.

If you look at the tit-for-tat element of it, it was all started by a moronic minority of our fans who gave him a load of undeserved stick. Can't really blame him for being a bit pissed off with that. Yes, he overstepped the mark and was a bit unwise and immature in some of what he gave back. But seriously, it has to be time to move on from all of it. I will neither cheer him or boo him.

Yeah, let's all be really kind to each other, stop being so mean, all get along, have no rivals, clap along while opposition fans sing some really nice songs, and sanitise the whole football experience even more.

You fucking melt.

Long after he left West Ham I saw an interview with him. He was asked which club had the best/most vocal fans during a match. He said West Ham and that surprised me. Maybe the whole thing was blown a bit out of proportion when he first left, but I do recall him giving us a bit of needle in the immediate aftermath. Perhaps he reflected on it after the initial events.

Always thought it was ironic that Lampard made a big deal about having to leave West Ham so he could improve and that he made "a dramatic improvement" when he went to Chelsea. And yet, according to him, his Dad and Uncle were brilliant coaches who didn't deserve the sack.

I don't think many fans of West Ham are going to take to a player who's said that he wants our club to lose. Why would they?

Could it be due to the fact that some of our old skool support regarded him as entitled and spoilt because he went to public school?

I enjoyed it when he broke into the team with Rio and the others but what he went on to achieve with Chelsea despite not being the most natural or technically gifted footballer I've ever seen in my time was pretty exceptional to say the least.

I still didn't regard him at the top level playing for the national team - there were better English players and countless foreign players who were able to easily surpass his abilities.

He used to shop at Peter Jones in Sloane Square and I knew a quite a few people who worked there who all said he wasn't exactly the most gracious or polite customer they have ever dealt with. Tony Adams who also lived nearby at some point was the perfect gentlemen by contrast! 

Maybe that's it then...some of our support sensed something they couldn't quite put their finger on right from the beginning 🤔
