he’s united the fans like no manager I’ve known, which in itself is quite the feat
Fuck me. Good luck next November when you’re 16th with 8 points out of 30.
Trolling aside, I liked his first season with us but the way he ignores defence is criminal, he also rubs me up the wrong way. Comes across as a total Smug tory twat.

Comes across as a total Smug tory twat.I'll be honest, I'm still a fair bit sceptical of him and I also still hate him a bit cos he scored the winner in the 2009 FA cup final. He was handed a bit of a thankless task with us, but he made some pretty basic tactical errors, playing a high line away at spurs was amongst the worst but he did change tactics in enough time to save us from the drop.
However he does seem to get what the fans are about, what the club is about and he got all the fans on board for the last month or two of the season. Crowds out to welcome the team coach, flares, smoke bombs, chanting the whole match, not seen anything like it. I do slightly struggle to warm to him, some of his post match interviews where he blamed the players grated a lot and there was virtually no 'I got that call wrong' admissions. Which there could have been, cos he got plenty wrong. Be interesting to see how it all pans out next season, apparently he's after Anthony Barry from the chelsea coaching staff.

Whilst undeniably true, that stat doesn’t tell anything like the whole story. Lampard took over a team on a serious downward trajectory. One win in 14 games, 5 points out of a possible 42. We’d just lost to Norwich, comfortably the worst side in the league. If we’d stuck with Benitez we’d definitely have been relegated. That’s not to say Lampard has been tactically perfect, he hasn’t, but he’s united the fans like no manager I’ve known, which in itself is quite the feat.
