fat frank has a dig at gerrard

[The Barber]

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard says he can handle the boos from England fans.

"Playing for England can be tough," he admitted to The Times. "I've worked bloody hard to get here, so of course criticism hurts, but you can't be weak enough to let it bother you. I could pull out of this game if I wanted. Say I've got a dodgy toe. But I will never hide. I can suffer getting booed. I'm not stupid. If we play crap, I don't go around asking: 'Why are they booing us?' But putting myself in the position of the level-headed fan, it makes no sense to turn so quickly on one player. I take strength from the fact there have always been bad times with England and other players came through it.

"John Barnes got booed. John Barnes! Every player I've met who knew him says he was the best they ever played with. Alan Shearer had it before Euro 96, I remember. That is when you need big personalities. Maybe there will be a day when I say, "No more, because I need to focus my energy on my club', but not soon, and certainly not because of a few boos."

Lampard also said: "Things have changed. There is this phone-in culture now which encourages people to say strong things and I've probably picked up some enemies on the way. I play at Chelsea, which is a club that it is fashionable to dislike. I left West Ham in a bad way. The �'Fat Frank' thing started at West Ham and now it is everywhere. I did the fat test the other day. Mine is 8 per cent, which puts me among the three lowest players at the club. Then I go away and it's 'Fat Frank'."

Is this the same Frank Lampard who deludedly thought he played well during the World Cup and "deserved more respect" from the fans who had criticised him

Should have got the fat in your head tested. 88% proof.

I think Lampard is insanely jealous of our Stevie. He gets booed yet our Stevie keeps on getting better.

What ****s me off is that he is putting himself in the same catergory as Barnes & Sherear. What a

[anfieldanfield]

He wants 135k a week and he doesn't feel it's fair he gets booed. God, modern footballers are absolutely clueless.

**** off you fat, overated lump of ****e.

.........and didnt play cause he "had a sore hand".......[COUGH]dropped[/COUGH] :whatever:

[tomasjj]

Hahaha.. Lampard. ****wit!

[rushscored4]

I think you're being paranoid there! Lampard also has a sore toe from pre-season and usually has nothing but praise and admiration for Gerrard. Indeed, usually they swap shirts after each Liverpool vs Chelsea game. I can't stand Lampard but he also says some nice things about John Barnes in that article which you failed to mention.

[rob_247]

I'm sorry - did he just, in some small way - compare himself to John Barnes?

I like that he notices that it 'makes no sense to turn so quickly on one player'. That's cause it wasn't quick, it took a lot of people seemingly forever to notice that he wasn't all the media made him out to be.

And as for having a dig at Gerrard, it just sums up what a pathetic **** he really is.

i think it reads better my way

I'm up for that.

But wouldn't burning that amount of fat and **** be harmful to the environment?

Good point Reece.

Lets recycle Lampard into toilet paper all have a very hot curry and wipe our arses with him.

Any better?
