LAMPS: I'D STILL BE A TRUE BLUE

Chelsea's disastrous season is limping to finish but boss says he would sign for club

FRANK LAMPARD would still sign for Chelsea - despite their poor season as he declared: Form is temporary, class is permanent.

And the interim manager (above) said new signings will have the chance to join at the start of the club's bid to return to the top of the table next season.

At the end of a disastrous campaign, 11th-placed Chelsea have four games left that are only big for the other clubs. Relegationfighting Forest visit Stamford Bridge today, before visits to both.

Manchester clubs and then a final-day fixture with Newcastle.

The best the Blues can hope for is overtaking west London rivals Fulham or Brentford to finish in the top half.
