You don't see this very often

It's very rare to see one player score two goals in one high-level soccer game, never mind four; so when Frank Lampard of Chelsea scored four in one game against Aston Villa, it was pretty remarkable. And Chelsea's ability to generate news with wives and girlfriends also seems pretty amazing.

Lampard has a celebrity girlfriend, Christine Bleakley, what the Brits call a "television presenter"; not much controversy there, except he did move on from a hot Latin lingerie model, Elen Rives, that he had two kids with, who I might have featured earlier her in this blog in a unique brassiere;

Chelsea's Ashley Cole is still rehabbing a broken ankle and apparently (according to reports) trying to rehab his broken marriage to the radiant Cheryl Cole;

Chelsea's John Terry: well, he got kicked off the captain's chair of the English World Cup team after it came out that he had an affair with the fiance/girlfriend/mother of another English soccer star, Wayne Bridge's kid -- Vanessa Perroncel, who just nailed a doubling of child support payments to around seven thousand pounds a month, which doesn't sound shabby;

and Chelsea's Joe Cole, who some reports say is "off form", might be "off form" because his rather amazingly attractive wife Carly Zucker just had a baby.

Plus, their top scorer, Didier Drogba, is nursing a knee injury and didn't play in the game where Lampard scored four.

Chelsea is up against Man U next. Chelsea is behind by one point (3 points for a win, one point for a tie). So they need to win.

And I admire them just for being able to concentrate on the game, given their off-field activities and distractions. But what do they talk about in the locker room?
