The Frank Lampard tribute thread.

[Extended-Phenotype]

Mate had a look on Sun+.

No such stat exists regarding Lampard. But rather than embarrass you further, let's move past it - Kes, as a Lampard fan, why do you think he has been unable to replicate his club form internationally?

As Big Foot said, the last time he was any good was 2004/2005. What do you think is the reason behind the discrepancy between performances for club and country?

ALOL!

[soggy biscuit]

But why hasn't he matched this form for country?

he has

Ok, so in summary:

To the question “why hasn’t Lampard been able to reproduce his club form on the international stage?” NFA argued that he has, citing a recent statistic as evidence which later turned out to be fabricated.

NFA also seemed to concede at one point, stating that the discrepancy in form was true of other England players but this didn’t really answer the question specifically in regard to Lampard.

I’m just genuinely curious what reasoning a Chelsea and Lampard fan has for the unarguable difference in performance in one shirt over the other. Not as a criticism, not as a joke and not as a trick question.

I’m genuinely interested in the viewpoint of somebody who has followed his career, has good knowledge of his game and how he plays week in, week out. The magnitude of the difference is obviously debatable, perhaps the neutral or the critic may state the disparity is far greater than his fans would. But at the end of the day, all parties would agree a disparity does exist. As a neutral, I have my own reasoning – I’m just curious what NFA, as a fan, yours might be?

It’s a reasonable and rational question, the evasion of which makes me all the more curious – perhaps by answering you would be forced to be reasonable and rational also, and this is something you are uncomfortable with (not too far-fetched considering your post history!). However, surely even you must see that you are losing far more dignity with your current tack (irrelevantly posting “link?”, inventing stats, peppering content with unnecessary smilies as if this conveys composure or worse, completely ignoring such gentle and innocent questions) than by actually offering an insight as to why Lampard in particular has not been able to produce the kind of football we witness every week in the Premier League, in an England shirt.

It’s just a question on a football forum from one football fan to another, I have no idea why you would handle it with such obvious agitation.

If I was you, I would fully expect a rattLOLed from Kes shortly.

Because he's definiteLOLy rattLOLed.

That much is obvious, just not sure why.

Even you know he's rattLOLed with such a long reply! Nothing better to do EP?

The latter. It was a long reply as I had hoped I'd convey to you my genuine interest. As you can tell by the language, there is little evidence of animosity and I'm not even sure what you think I'd be 'rattled' about?

[King of Sting]

Poor Kes. How many times has he claimed that Lolampard created the most chances during World Cup qualification and it was 100% bollicks

[Big Foot]

Yateley & E-P really need to get a room, their public displays of affection are pretty grotesque

[Ouroboros]

Well said BF, you standing up for Kes like that is admirable.

[Big Foot]

How is that post sticking up for Kes in anyway?

[Extended-Phenotype]

Probably in the same way asking your washroom-wanking chum an innocent question somehow sees me end up in a hotel bedroom with a nobber I've barely spoken to.

Never realised Frank Lampard was such a sensitive subject.

It was in The Sun newspaper pullout section.

[Extended-Phenotype]

Where did they get the stat from? I mean, if it exists, it must well, exist? Not on the Sun+ site. Not on any football stat sites. Not mentioned or referred to on any other site on the world wide web. I think we can safely say you made it up, mate.

Chin up, though.

Afraid not. LIke I say, there was an article on why some people were getting on Lampards case with his England performances when the stats say he was the 2nd highest scorer and created the most chances during WCQ 2014.

Definitely rattLOLed though with the inclusion of the word 'mate' at the end of your sentence

But it doesn't bother me if it is true. If it's true, that's great. It's just you can't provide a link to that stat's existence which is pretty strange? Pretending the stat does actually exist for a minute, do you think this proves Lampard has replicated his club form internationally?
