I'm always amused by the talk of this player being one of us and that player not. Who are we? And who decides who gets into this club?
Need I quote Graucho?
Lampard and CFG made a stupid move. Then Lampard suffered an ill timed injury. Then the conspiracy crazies went, well, crazy. Now he ain't one of us.
Well, I didn't think he was coming over for brunch before and I don't think he is now.
But what I care about is what effort he puts in on the pitch and how does he affect his team. I for one can't wait to cheer him.
And I suspect about 25,000 others will agree with me on Saturday, especially if he nets us a goal.
