Frank Lampard: FA Cup is the one I want
Hello and welcome to my latest blog.
After beating Porto in the Champions League on Tuesday our focus moves to the FA Cup this weekend.
An FA Cup medal is the one I've always wanted to win. Of course I want to win everything, but the history of the FA Cup makes it huge for me.
My Dad won it twice and FA Cup final day - the build-up and the game - was a national event in our home when I was younger.
It is something that is lacking from my medal collection and that makes me more determined to win it.
Drawing Tottenham in the quarter-final is a tough game. At least it's at home which is always a bonus. Obviously it has the added spark of being a derby too.
Spurs are in very good form at the moment and it should be a good game. We're not our to avenge the league defeat or anything like that - games like that do happen.
We were on a very good run at the time and we'd had superiority over them for years in the league, so I suppose eventually you are always going to come a cropper.
It's important to treat the game as a one-off and just concentrate on getting through to the semis.
Dimitar Berbatov has really impressed me this season - he was definitely one of the best signings of the summer.
I didn't know much about him beforehand but he's a very skilful and clever player.
Robbie Keane may be suspended but whether it's him, Defoe or Mido alongside Berbatov that's where their strength lies.
Being at home we'll try to attack their defence. They've got some good defenders, but who wouldn't miss Ledley King?
They're a fine team though and we will have to be careful on the break because of their forwards and Aaron Lennon's sheer pace and skill.
Join me again soon for another instalment of my blog.

chelsea is the best

Hi Frank
Well we did it, we won the FA Cup and I loved the game. I was so nervous when Giggs pushed Cech over the line because I thought they had got the goal, but when I saw it again I realised that they couldnt possibly get that. IT WAS A FOUL!!
Then you passed it to Drogba who scored us that important goal. Well done both of you.
I hope this means you will be staying at Chelsea because you make up the team and I wouldn't know who to get on the back of my shirt lol please dont go anywhere!
I also want to congratulate you and Elen for the birth of your second daughter Isla.
I am sure she is just as gorgeous as her big sister Luna.
I bet that was your best weekend ever, winning the FA Cup and then Isla. Congratulations to you both xx xx xx

sundays match was great frankie, even though it didnt do any favours for my blood pressure!!! i mean.. what on earth was essien doing?? what a muppet!! but seeing as im a chelsea fan through and through, i suppose i will forgive him..this time! after all, in a strange way it did us a favour in getting the replay. make sure you finish em off next time frank. thought you were going for the hat-trick, those two goals were great. proving again why youre the best in the world! take us to wembley lamps!! keep scoring them goals and good luck against man city tomorrow. lots of love xxx

frank,i have a question for u...
Why chelsea not hard in first half time and so hard in second half time in every match??I found that...Why ah...?? >.<

Ah well another weekend has gone and still there is some unfinished business between some clubs in the FA CUP. I watched the Chelsea/Spurs match and thought it was a cracker. Both managers must be well pleased with the way their lads played; but I cant get over the fact of Spurs letting a two goal lead get away from them. It will take a brave man to guess the outcome of the re-match.
