Chelsea boss Lampard: Nice from Cundy, but...

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has shrugged off claims from Jason Cundy.

Former Chelsea player and now radio presenter Cundy said every team bar Manchester City and Liverpool would want to be Chelsea at the moment, with an icon as manager, good results and lots of young talent emerging.

"I appreciate that from Jason and I appreciate nice headlines and nice talk about the team," the boss replied, "but I have to stay very closed to that myself because the moment you take in those sort statements and headlines are the moment everybody won't want to be you because you drop your standards.

"We are just doing what we are doing here, everybody is working hard, I am working hard, the staff are working hard and we always want constant improvement, so we won't sit and compare ourselves to everyone else."
