Lamps' Euro Hopes

Last updated : 07 February 2003 By Rich Godden
The Blues currently lie in fourth position, although Everton are level on points with us. Newcastle are the nearest side above us, with a three-point lead over us...

A win at Birmingham could put us back into 3rd, as Newcastle don't play until Sunday... but even then, they have to play Arsenal.

And Frank Lampard, never one to shy away from the press, has said "It's a big game for us as there are now two places in the Champions League between about four teams and possibly even more.

"We need to make a gap between ourselves and the teams behind us, starting on Saturday, but Birmingham are fighting for points and it'll be tough for us.''

Lamps continues to defy the critics on today's footballers- he has played a part in every game this season! And to perform as consistently as he does is heroic... keep up the good work Lamps!
