One goal for each of those piecing blue eyes.

Chelsea v Spurs
Madderz on for Spurs - made bugger all difference
Casedi on Chelsea - also had bugger all impact.

We don't miss either of them

Best league in the world. & yet weirdly not getting the 5th CL spot due to having every team knocked out in the QFs of all 3 cups?

Must be some sort of clerical error.

To be fair, Villa have got to the semi of that Euro Sherpa Van thing

Oh yeah. For some reason I was thinking it was a round behind the others due to being a completely made up & pointless pile of shite.

King retires.

Bloody hay fever again.

Another player I absolutely love. True Legend of the club.

I always maintain that we did wrong by him converting him to a more "complete" midfielder.

He had such a terrific eye for a goal and making late runs into the box. I think he could have done even more had we converted him to a number 10.

Look at some of these finishes:

A true legend alongside the likes of Vardy and Fuchs.

More than that though, an absolute gentleman. I love the guy and his ethos.

Happy retirement Kingy.

Some absolute crackers in there! All the best in your retirement, Kingy!

A class act and a bona fide club legend.

Makes me sad that Andy King never got a proper send off here.

Club legend. Was one of my favourite players, especially through our worst years and then of course the wonder years that came after.

Early in his career when he played that number 10 role, particularly under Sven from what I remember, he seemed to me like he could be a Lampard type, with his biggest skill his timed runs into the box.

It's not really a modern 10 role. He isn't skillful enough for that, and I think his role was transitioned because that role has already stated to adapt in style.

But I agree, that was his biggest attribute and he got moved away from it.
