matt's post was interesting.
i agree with the lampard issue, especially the way the press is obviously milking it. it doesn't remove the sympathy i had for him, lamps has always been one of my favourite blues players. and knowing how he's got lambasted before (often wrongly so imo) i just felt that scoring
that penalty under such a sad week for him was sincerely a very emotional moment. there was nothing hollywood about that.
but then the press turned it into a heroic cheesefest. and what else is new? the press always exploits any kind of drama and blows it out of proportions. i can understand people getting sick of those headlines, but it certainly isn't frank's fault. your press is shit. FACT
and yeah it does seem chelsea is the most hated team at the moment, at least within the big clubs. i don't mind, like most ppl here, i've been a fan for ages... which in this case goes way back before roman's money. i think that is the definitive reason why people cannot stand the current chelsea: their success is not tolerated because people think they've basically bought it. and yeah in parts it probably is true. there's no denying the talent that money has brought to chelsea, but they have also turned into a winning team. not being beat at stamford for several years is a good example of that, and it is something that i naturally cherish.
and of course winning isn't everything: it's the only thing
