Super Frankie Lampard

[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!

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

He was never "FAT" was he?


 

 

 

You are joking.  How fat must you be if 10 men and a forklift truck cannot carry you?

“BARMAN.! Pint of your finest please.”

He wasn’t hated by the majority of West Ham fans while he was a player there. He wasn’t getting booed. He left because his uncle and old man got the sack, which also had nothing to do with West Ham fans.

When he left, he decided to bad mouth us. That is when the animosity started.

I couldn’t give a fuck about him now. I’m pretty sure the last couple of times he’s been at the London Stadium as a manager, he’s been mostly ignored. Stop trying to stir up something that isn’t there.

[Massive Attack]

Bollocks to the Fat cսnt.

[fraser]

I've never really hated him but of course I would never say I couldn't understand others that do because it's quite obvious really. 

[goose]

You’re either desperate for attention or just don’t understand my club.

which is it?

nobody ever sung any songs about him only playing because of his dad. Same as the made up story about the away fans cheering when he got injured at Villa park.

[Come On You Irons]

I agree. The hatred of Lampard has always been weird and pathetic and in my opinion is one of the many cringe things about our so called hard core supporters. These are the same morons who sing the "how shit must you be, were winning at home/ away"' song.
