Parkin: Doing a good job

Striker Parkin, on loan from Cardiff, and Wolves defender Reckford have played a key role as the Iron secured back-to-back wins last week.

Midfielder Josh Walker has already extended his loan spell at the club, while Watford team-mate David Mirfin arrived at the end of last month until the end of the season.

"The aim is to try and extend everybody's loan period," Knill told the club's official website. "But obviously we need to speak to the parent clubs as soon as possible to make that happen.

"We have set some targets that we want to get to and those players are key to achieving that. They're playing well so the last thing that you want is to lose them.

"So if it's possible then we will try and keep them. If not we will have to try and get somebody else."

xcellent decision, probably one of VERY few footballers who will be remembered as leaving the club after scoring the champions league winning goal with his very last kick! Not many get that tag in football!

Drogba confirms Blues departure

T

his is for the best, his hunger would be in serious question now after winning everything with us. A true Chelsea legend, up there with Osgood and Zola, come back and see us now and then Didier. And as Martin Tyler said on Saturday night....he is immortal at Chelsea. What a way to go out eh....Good luck big man wherever you land next.

ne of the many delights of the final few seconds of the season was seeing little Mike Owen with his trackie off and full replica kit on, getting ready to celebrate having contributed NOTHING all season. Would have been on a par with Terry's carry-on in Munich.
