Frank Lampard on Villa Boas :

"..the players had no part in his dismissal, he played his cards and they didn't work, maybe he was too young and maybe the job was too soon for him."

I really do question the IQ of someone calling him fat frank. Immediately makes me think of a dumb person
----------------------------------------------------------------------
well what would you suggest? 'Obese Frank' doesn't quite have the same enjoyable alliteration...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To not be a 5 year old with silly nicknames would be a start. Never got it. Gammon face with sir Alex etc just juvenile and makes me immediately think what an idiot
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In all seriousness I think it's because so many Chelsea fans over the years have cried about it. It would have been long forgotten but for the ott defensiveness every time it gets trotted out "bb.b.b.but he's not fat, I bet you're fatter than him "

So the IQ of someone using that name to bait Chelsea fans isn't necessarily all that low. However someone who doesn't understand that simple concept might be a little bit mentally challenged...

No, it’s just juvenile, nothing more to it.

Also if your trying to bait opposition fans on an anonymous forum then again that says more about the person doing it. Genuinely called a wum.

I'm with you all the way on that its like when people call us $puds I've asked on several occasions is it purely because of the close spelling or is there more to it than that and never had an answer?

Its a weird insult as I love potatoes (especially roast) but whatever the reason its incredibly childish.

For a grown man to act juvenile you’d have to question their intelligence yes

I'm not sure getting worked up over calling Lampard 'fat frank' is the hill you want to die on, Nick.

I actually wonder if this 'early' sacking will help Lampard.

He can reasonably claim it's too soon and that it's really just one bad run of form, halfway through a season where he has lots of new faces to bed in.

Not worked up at all. Just having my point of view. Discredits the whole article imo.

There are The Inbetweeners fans and then there are Peep Show fans.

People that genuinely love The Inbetweeners are more likely to use those inane football nicknames. They like Mrs Brown's Boys over The Thick Of It. You get the picture.

Okay.

Also not sure if anyone can use the excuse of it being too soon. Although I’d like to have seen the season through, we’ve played poor football for a year and lost nearly every big game we’ve played. There has been no signs of improvements whatsoever

I personally think it is a justified decision. He did a good job last season, but not exceptional really, I think more people expected them to do worse because of their transfer ban and a new manager etc that seemed to lower expectations in some people's view, but I think Chelsea would have expected top 4 at the start of the season, so he did a good job in achieving that.

This year he's underachieving. Poor form has obviously contributed to that but he isn't getting the best out of the players they have paid big money for like Havertz and Werner whereas somebody like Tuchel probably will. I think the job was too big for his relative inexperience at the role.

I feel he will end up in the PL in his next job. West Ham would be a good one, but obviously Moyes isn't going to get sacked any time soon but he will end up at that type of club.

Ah because you perceive me having an opinion as being worked up it must be true? Weird one but okay.

Don’t understand what that has to do. Are you just taking single lines of what I’m saying. I literally said I wanted him to be given the season. Lol

If you are Roman and you give Frank £200m you want to see your side challenging on all fronts. We write £200m like it is nothing but it is his money and as Trump would say "It's alot".

Well, you were saying how you were happy with him in the summer.

Yet now you're saying you've been playing poor football for a year?

Doesn't really add up.
