I just read Fatty faff about winning the champions league, and this stuck out.

Q: "What about the next generation of Frank Lampards? Do you think we'll see more home grown players coming through Chelsea's training ground?"

Now while they didn't out and out state it, does anyone else see the implication in the question?

That Fat Lampard was a figment of everyone's imagination when he played at West Ham?

Fucking hilarious.

Another team re-writing its own history.

He came through the youths at chelsea the same time as Joe Cole i believe.

Now that I have myself gone through the whole thing ...

Surely the times are changing ... this is the Official Premier League Annual Report ... and out of 72 pages, Fergie appears just once in a small photo snippet on page 64, where he is actually listed for his award of the manager of 20 seasons ... but that's it, one small photo ... and not many Man Utd team photos in generic areas either ...

It's Joe Hart on the cover ... then starts with a two page Foreward written by Roberto Mancini ... Kompany the main picture in Chairman's Report pages ... Patrick Vieira on the forefront of community initiative page ... and so on ... hell, even Arsenal and Chelsea have their stadiums pictured on double page sections, but no picture of Old Trafford throughout ...

How times are changing ... Good times indeed!

PS. Anyone knows how to convert this online magazine view format into a PDF or download this and save on hard disk?

It's hardly a surprise we feature so much is it? City won the Premiership so reap the rewards of that in the annual report of the league they won. Man U won the charity shield so obviously won't feature as much as they have in previus years. That Chelsea youth team player Lampard made me chuckle mind

You certainly haven't read it all as there's special Ryan Giggs section where he chooses his favourite derby moments. Basically.

Good find though. Always interested of groundstaff and medical staff and people under the shadows getting a word.

Also, credit where the credit is due. Getting 99% of offside calls right is nothing short of stunning work my refs.
