Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard is a big fan of Ian Holloway's Blackpool.
The Blues face Blackpool tomorrow night.
"They have surprised me this season, not so much recently because we've come to terms with what they're doing, but at the beginning of the season I'd have called them to be down there and that's no disrespect, because what a great feat it was for them to get into the Premier League, but they've surprised me with their quality and hard work," Lampard told chelseafc.com.
"Their manager I've got a lot of time for, I like Ian Holloway, he's very opinionated and maybe some people dig him out sometimes but it's great to see and very refreshing, Charlie Adam has been one of the players of the season and they've missed him, but as a team you can't beat watching them, even against Manchester United when they lost, they're gung-ho and they're fun to watch."
