Lampard: Fan power fired us to glory
Chelsea star Frank Lampard says the loyal and unswerving support from the club's fans played a huge part in this season's Double achievement.[LNB] The Blues landed their first-ever Double after following up securing the Premier League title by lifting the FA Cup.[LNB]While some fans are quick to get on the players' backs if things are not going according to plan, Lampard is pleased the Stamford Bridge faithful have never singled out anyone for criticism.[LNB]Things have not been so rosy at rival clubs as Emmanuel Eboue has been blasted by Arsenal fans while Dimitar Berbatov has come in from criticism from Manchester United supporters.[LNB]However, Lampard believes Chelsea fans are different and that having come from the background of Division Two football, they are more appreciative of the team's current success.[LNB]"I've never heard them get right on someone's back, boo them and destroy them. Never," explained Lampard.[LNB]"Don't get me wrong, they can moan and groan a little bit but that's normal. We all get upset watching games.[LNB]"But they are always there, they travel fantastically well and the main thing is that they don't get on anyone's back.[LNB]"Some clubs, given what we've been given and being elevated to where we are now, would be moaning and thinking: 'We should be winning' after 20 minutes at 0-0.[LNB]"But Chelsea fans are a little bit different. Probably because they've been through a lot before I was here, where they've sat down and watched a Division Two team in a stand that was 30 yards away from the pitch.[LNB]"So now they can't believe what's happening here. They go with it and, like me, they think it's fantastic."
