Lampard: I hope we avoid Kop
-
FRANK LAMPARD is anxious to avoid Liverpool in tomorrowÂ’s Champions League draw. Chelsea go into the pot for the quarter-finals along with their old Kop rivals. The last thing they want is a repeat of their narrow semi-final defeat of two years ago - and Rafa BenitezÂ’s men have already shown how dangerous they are by eliminating reigning champions Barcelona.
Blues midfielder Lampard said: “It’s a tough one to call. Do you prefer to play an Englishc side or an AC Milan, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich? “English games are tough, because they throw up different problems.”
Lampard, who played a key part in TuesdayÂ’s 2-1 win over Porto, revealed he is still waiting for club officials to offer him a new contract. But he insisted the future of manager Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge was not significant.
Lampard added: “There’s no update on the contract. It’s down to the club to come to me with an offer and I’m waiting for that. “There are a lot of things going on at present and we’re at the stage of the season where it’s very important.
"There’s plenty of time. It has been said I’m waiting on Jose’s future but the two issues are not tied.” -

The last time these two met in the CL, Pool won and jose was sent packing... Of course he wasn't happy and they ended up not talking to each other or shaking hands after the match. Ben said Robben dive and got his goalkeeper sent-off during one of their recent meeting...
They seem to have just made up this season... and now this... -

Mourinho: Bring on the Kop
JOSE MOURINHO looked ahead to a possible Champions League semi with Liverpool and roared: Bring it on. Mourinho’s Chelsea will play the Kop if the two Premiership sides beat Valencia and PSV in their respective quarter-finals. And the Blues manager said: “If it is us against Liverpool in the last four, I would sign that contract right now.”
While Mourinho is looking ahead, Anfield boss Rafa Benitez refuses to even think about the prospect of Chelsea until his side’s tie against PSV is over.He said: “I’m sure the supporters will be happy with the draw but we don’t want to make the same mistake as last year when went out against Benfica. Then, everyone was saying we’d go through — but they beat us home and away.”
Yet skipper Steven Gerrard, fresh from leading the Reds to victory over holders Barcelona, warned the Blues his side are even stronger now than when they knocked them out at the semi-final stage two years ago.
He said: “We’re taking it one game at a time but I’m confident we can go all the way, the two legs against Barca proved that. “I think the squad now is stronger and better than 2005. “I don’t want to appear over-confident or tempt fate but there’s a buzz about the city similar to two years ago.”
This fellow just likes to talk big... If Chelsea was leading the Premiership table right now i wonder what more he will say... -
I sat bring everyone on!
