Disregarding how successful or unsuccessful AVB's reign there will be, one things for sure I can see Spurs becoming a bogey team, ala Liverpool last season. AVB has proven himself to be bitter, he will prepare for the game like no other.

I hope you are wrong and the return of Three Point Lane will occur under AVB.

Yes but likewise I'm sure our players will have one eye on this game and be really up for it to stick it up AVB. It'll be a massive encounter.

Frank Lampard, fully recovered from the thigh strain that denied him a place in the England squad for Euro 2012, is part of the party that flies to the United States today [saturday]. The vice-captain spoke to Chelsea TV ahead of the trip.

Lampard's last competitive game was the Champions League Final victory but he is far from settling for that from his illustrious career, especially with his club's goalscoring record in reach. And to make the most of the season ahead, the 34-year-old knows the work leading up to it in the weeks beforehand is highly important. America, he says, is good venue for part of it.

'It is a nice trip,' he told the club's own channel.

'We did it a few times in the Jose Mourinho days particularly and with Carlo Ancelotti once and the people are very welcoming there. There are Chelsea fans there as well and the games are great for us and it is an interesting trip. We can slip off now and again for own bit of time and I think all the lads are looking forward to it.

'Football there is big now,' he added. 'I have been out there on holiday recently and people recognise you. They have a team they support and they watch the games on telly. When we started going out there seven or eight years ago it wasn't so much like that, but the fact the Premier League is the best league in the world, people who do like soccer as they call it are getting into it.

'I watched the Euro 2012 final out there in a pub/bar and the atmosphere was brilliant. You could see that the people have taken to footbal.'

It will be the first time Chelsea have headed to the States as European champions which might lead to even greater interest. It is hard not to keep thinking back to the events of May in Munich but Lampard is focusing forward too.

'There is certainly no time to rest on our laurels. Our league form wasn't good enough last season, we weren't consistent enough, and that is something that we have to put right.

'We need to take the Champions League victory and the FA Cup victory as a platform to more rather than settling for that and not pushing on as a club. I am sure with the personnel we have got here, the new signings and the way this club is run, we will keep striving for more.'

Lampard, on 186 Chelsea goals, is just seven behind Kerry Dixon's total and 16 off the all-time record held by Bobby Tambling. It is certainly not impossible he could overtake those in one season but is that firmly in his mind?

'Yes and no. Records are nice and the collective thing is nice as always. The good thing for me was I got the final part of the jigsaw in terms of team trophies and to win the Champions League and the way we did it, for me it was the greatest triumph by an English team in Europe in recent years. Liverpool [in 2005] was amazing as a final but our run that we put together was absolutely incredible so I am just delighted with that. Obviously I want to carry on being personally successful but more importantly than that be a successful part of the team.'

Sell him, then we can actually get someone to go into to the double pivot who can actually control the tempo of the game and start the attacks from midfield. And we would not have the risk of Lampard moaning and complaining to the media and Roman because he keeps getting dropped. Should get a bit of money even if he is 34 and and slow as fuck, both physically and mentally.

sell frank, absolutley not. the man is a legend and lets not forget he was only really dropped by AVB and i dont want anyone else to take a spot kick from 12 yards other than super frank. were talking about a player who put in 16 goals and 10 assists last season and is our co captain. when jt gets in a mess no one else should have the armband but frank. never sell frank. let him retire here.

Frank Lampard refused to rule out a future move to Major League Soccer following Chelsea's draw with Paris St Germain on Sunday evening.

Lampard was spotted in Los Angeles earlier this summer, where he was with former England team-mate David Beckham, who is already plying a successful trade in America.

A move to LA alongside Beckham is reported to be on the cards, and Lampard admits that he may look at that - but not until next year.

"I have another year on my contract at Chelsea. We have a big season. We play in the Super Cup and the World Club Championship in December. Then it's up to Chelsea," he told reporters after the PSG match in New York.

"If they want to speak with me about my future, then I'll speak with them. I wouldn't rule anything out at the moment."

Pushed on whether he could move to the MLS soon, he replied: "Not at the moment, no, because I have a contract with Chelsea. Beyond that I don't know."

Gourlay, Emenalo whoever, just please offer Lampard a new contract!

Usual tricks by players to get a better contract.

I love Lamps, but if he doesn't accept a wage cut, it's probably best if he leaves next season.

C'mon, you're being too harsh on Lamps here. He's much better than that!
