Jack Wills said:I can't believe some people are getting upset about this. After playing for Chelsea for over 10 years, becoming a club legend for them in that time of course he'll clap their fans. Especially when they showed the class to still appreciate him whilst playing for a rival club.
Lamps is a proper professional and showed this not only by playing well for us against 'his' team, but being prepared to stay professional and bust a gut to get in a scoring position. It'd be easy to bottle it and hide a bit in midfield if he didn't want to hurt his old club, but he didn't - he scored a vital goal for us because he's a great pro and a fucking outstanding player.
I couldn't give a shit if he claps his old fans or sleeps in a Chelsea shirt as long as he performs well for us on the pitch, which he did yesterday!

No, he's not a legend at another club in which he spent 13 years. So there should be more issue with the club that pay his wages, have sang his name for 4 years and backed him no matter what. But then again, probably not, thus this is all a non-story.

It's not about him applauding less than chelskis, people. It's about him not want to be here.
Yes, maybe I've digged too much and it's too early to judge (as I said, it was my 1st impression), but I want to see Lampard showing some respect to City and wish being here. Hope he shows it (not only by scoring goals, what is, of course, very good, but only a part of it).
I admit he could have some tough feelings then so it was hard for him to react normal + now it seems like his heart is unfortunately with chelsea, and I can understand it, but it is hard to take that he cares about his old team more than about the City. If he was a full professional, he'd kept his emotions, but he upset City fans a little bit. As I said, I'm very glad he's a pro on the field
