Evans: Goals-oriented

The 23-year-old Wales international struck his 20th and 21st goals of the season in the Blades' 2-1 win over Preston at the weekend, but remains hungry for more as Danny Wilson's side maintain their challenge for automatic promotion.

Evans said: "My next target which I would like to hit is 30. I think it's possible, I set myself targets for inspiration and at the moment I'm enjoying my football.

"I'm delighted with how my season has gone, having missed games at the start, and all the times I have hit the woodwork and, on Saturday, missing a penalty.

"I've kept a count on how many times I've hit the post or crossbar and I believe it's about 14 times. If they had gone in I'd be looking at nearing 40 goals by February."

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.
