This photo is amazing...

Took this at the weekend. Marlow Bridge over the Thames. Gonna miss this Huawei phone when I'm done with it The camera on it is unreal.

This brings back some good memories...

Maybe he can give you one of his famous blow jobs to make up for it??? We all know you both like to get down and dirty...

There's Drive to Survive, but there's also Sunderland 'til I Die on Netflix. Is he hoping for fame through Netflix?

Oh shit, happy birthday @DeadLinesman even though I'm several days late now.

Yeah... that's once-in-a-lifetime shot for sure...

Never seen a shadow with real eyes before.... spooky!!

Lol as if the media would ever turn against Fat Frank. Aside from being well “in” with the media as one of their darlings, he’s related to the Redknapps. If shit ever goes really wrong with his tenure, the media will never be screaming for the axe to come down on him.

Same. Said at the start of the season it'll be a blessing in disguise their transfer ban came in to place as it meant youngsters - Mount, James, Hudson-Odoi, Gilmour, Tomori (could/should have played more), Abraham - had a chance to come in and play more regularly. He's done well and should be a signal to other clubs you don't always have to spend money (this may go out the window with how much they've just spent on Havertz, Ziyech and Werner though ).

I agree mostly. Some of the praise he's got has been over the top, he's inherited a team that's more than capable of finishing in the top four and just finished above a Leicester team who finished 9th the season before. What most people forget though is that the best thing he's done has been giving the youth players a chance which hasn't been the case at Chelsea for years and years now. He's given debuts to more youth players than any other manager in Chelsea's history which if you think about the fact that Chelsea hasn't always been a team of this calibre and wealth, it's something impressive. Not only has he given them a chance, but he's also developed them and stuck by them. It doesn't matter if the majority of these youth players end up in spending most of their careers playing in the Championship, it's the fact that he's given them that chance. Furthermore, people say the transfer ban brought that upon Lampard but they couldn't be more wrong. I also can see the vision and direction he has for this team, I can see what's he trying to do. It's a work in progress but I can at least see the idea he has which is always a good sign. Who knows if it will work out but there's no denying he's had a positive season for many reasons. I would have said the same even if we missed out on the top four. Some of the recognition and acclaim has been over the top I agree and Lampard has always been a bit of a media darling so that will probably mean that the criticism won't come as quickly or be as steep if it does come, on the other side the praise will be overblown if it continues to come as well. In general, he's likeable for most football fans and you can't blame him for the way the media etc treat him. Next season though will be where the pressure's on.

They also lost their best player last season and so much of everything good Chelsea did last season ran through Hazard. He was a big loss for them. Tbf, there've been questions asked of him on why Chelsea haven't improved their defending (especially on set pieces because he played for Mourinho ). I think all things considered, with a transfer ban and losing their best player... he's had a decent season. I do agree with you, he's a media darling so he'll probably never really get the same criticism he'd get if he were say some Spanish guy who says "good ebening." I do think it's weird how Chelsea look to be spending big to revamp their attack, when really I think they ought to be focusing on fixing that defense up... because they'll immediately see an improvement in the amount of points they get next season if they spend big on defenders. Maybe the idea is with the revamped attack, they'll be spending less time defending. But I think there's a more simple solution to improving this Chelsea side.

Can you Liverpool lot do me a favour and fuck off out of our thread.... Take your Pram/Toys and tantrums and throw them about in your own bloody thread.. This is a peaceful neighbourhood round here...

This isn't some pub team he inherited, they were third last season and got a cup final. The rest of the teams around them have gotten worse mainly. They've haemorrhaged goals all season and he's shown no aptitude to sort it out. Don't get me wrong he doesn't deserve to be sacked but another manager would be getting pelters off the press for a pretty poor league campaign overall. He's one of them though, he's as establishment England as you get.

If he stays fit then it’s a great signing for them

fucking ban me then you little fanboy cunt. Where you from?

You talk shite. Why are you even a member of this forum if you don’t want to discuss anything? @Stan no more talking about who you want Leicester to sign cause it’s not your decision in the end. @Cicero same with you with Chelsea mate, give up the Telles crack. @DeadLinesman you can stop talking about how you want Lingard to be given a new 5 year deal, it’s up to the officials at the club to make that decision. Shut the website down.

Easy does it

I was going to ask if you had any tips for hair cuts to prepare for the interview but then I realised you don't have that issue.

Good luck mate. You’ve definitely got the face for it.

The new Canon EOS R5 is expected to be quite an ambitious camera overall, but this just blew my mind. It has Animal Eye Autofocus... and it's bloody impressive...

Lampard has had barely any criticism at all from any of the press either, public school boy, Tory voting prick just like most of the media. Loathe the man.
