In 2001 Frank Lampard moved across London from West Ham to Chelsea for megabucks at the beginning of the Roman Abramovich era, many were pleased to see him go due to constant claims of nepotism with regards to his ream selection by his Uncle 'arry Redknapp.

Lampard went on to be a huge success for club and country, becoming one of the Premier League's most successful midfielders for nearly a decade at the very top level, before retiring as a player having also played for Man City as well as Chelsea and West Ham.

Lampard then began his managerial career with Derby County in 2018, leading the club to the final of that season's Championship play-offs. He was appointed as Chelsea's head coach a year later, guiding them to fourth place and the FA Cup Final in his first season. However, after a poor run of results, Abramovich sacked Lampard in 2021, he was then appointed Everton manager in 2022.

Everton are really struggling and find themselves just above the relegation zone despite previous managers spending huge amounts of money for little or no return, they Do have a surprisingly good record against their opponents Tottingham in tonight's Premier League game, as the North London team have only won one of their last seven matches against Everton in all competitions.

Unfortunately the match will not be played on paper, so the stats mean nothing, but it would do David Moyes and West Ham a MASSIVE favour if Frank could lead the Hammers manager's old club to victory, however unlikely. Time to forget the 'Fat Frank' jibes and become closet Toffees for the night!

Go on Frank, do us a favour! - Ed

Lampard is not and never will be a good let alone great manager......Rooney/Hasselbank/Robins all got much more about them...Lampards one of those managers that needs a lot of money to manage not work with what you have.....he could not do it with Derby and ruined them chelski just used him before discarding him he is going to have a history of failure and i hope Everton go down because they should of a long time ago i still think the Wimbledon win was a fix but thats the past..but for now and rest of the week we are going to have to hear about how wonderful spuds are yet again from there mug supporters.

I don't mind Lampard to be honest. I think people expect miracles overnight. Look at Captain Scarlett at The Arse, sorry that's Arteta. He's turned them around after a long battle with the fans and all that. Lampard is of the same mould as is Gerrard. OK in 15 years time they may well be the new Steve Bruces and Mark Hughes. Journeyman managers who could just about run a bath. But for now, it's interesting to watch.

By the way, anyone else out there think Arteta dies his hair???.............................Taxi!!
