Derby County manager Frank Lampard has said that Leeds United fans’ new chant directed towards him is “good fun”.

Leeds United’s fans belted out a new chant directed at Derby County boss Frank Lampard at the weekend, prior to and during their 1-0 win in the play-off semi-final first leg at Pride Park.

Their latest terrace song to the tune of Oasis’ “Stop Crying Your Heart Out” sent a direct message to the Derby boss, who was at the centre of the “SpyGate” saga between the two clubs earlier on in the season. Lampard’s account of the spying saga failed to match up with the emerging facts, aggravating Leeds supporters.

And, after Marcelo Bielsa conducted an in-depth masterclass on his pre-match preparations and analysis on his opponents, prompting a reaction from Lampard, implying that Bielsa’s pre-match prep was nothing out of the ordinary.

Now, responding to Leeds fans’ chant poking fun at him, Lampard has said he understands that it is “good fun”.

“It’s good fun,” Lampard said to the Derbyshire Telegraph.

“Being a Chelsea player, there was always a rivalry with Leeds. I didn’t play against them much as we were in the Premier League! I’ll take the song all day long.”

The two sides face each other once again on Wednesday evening, and Leeds United are in the driving set to secure a place in the Championship play-off final. Kemar Roofe’s goal means Derby County have all the work to do to try and pull back the one-goal deficit.
