Chelsea boss Lampard: I'm not good company when we lose

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard admits he's not good company when his team loses.

He says wife Christine gave up trying to make plans because he is such a grump if Chelsea are beaten.

“We're not allowed to arrange dinners or any kind of get-together after games in case the worst comes to the worst because if we lose I'm a nightmare," said Lampard.

“I can't help it, it's just par for the course.

“I had a year in the media, which was an absolute comedown from the pressures of playing and the pressures I get now, and as Christine will joke I was a much better, easier, relaxed Frank.

“What you need is a really understanding family."
