HATCHET MAN: Come on Lampard, let's be Frank - tell us what you really think of Chelsea's trophy hop
Frank Lampard seems to have gone all coy about Chelsea's prospects. [LNB]After repeatedly talking up the team and appearing keen to present a bullish outlook for them, the England midfielder now apparently 'hates' talk of the treble because it intensifies the pressure.

[LNB]It might look difficult for Chelsea now, but temporary manager Guus Hiddink is staying positive. [LNB]'Mathematically, the treble is possible,' said the Dutchman. [LNB]In relation to the title race, he added: 'As long as we have the chance mathematically, or even a bit more, to chase them down is perfect.' [LNB]Presumably, Lampard is irritated by Hiddink's claims, but he shouldn't be. [LNB]The pressure is there anyway and even the most blinkered of fans can read a league table. [LNB]Everyone knows Chelsea are outsiders, but surely no-one would believe someone as ambitious as Lampard had given up on any of the trophies they could still win.[LNB]So why pretend?
