FRANK LAMPARD knows that though some Chelsea fans may boo him, Jose Mourinho still loves him.
In fact it was all Text Santa between them during the festive season.
The
former Stamford Bridge golden boy returned to his old stomping ground,
but his golden touch could not separate these two titans of the Premier
League.
The smart money was on Lampard appearing
late in the game as a substitute, as he has so often this season for
City, and snatching a winner against his old team.
But
this war of attrition ended in stalemate, and Mourinho will have ended
the happier man with his weakened Chelsea still five points clear at the
top of the table.
Lampard, who left last summer
after the offer of a new one-year deal did not materialise, had once
vowed he would never come back to Chelsea in another team's colours
after 13 years and numerous trophies at the Bridge.
