Also scoring against Chelsea for us, fantastic servant of the game and amazing goalscoring record from midfield.
Thanks frank, good luck with the Galaxy.

Shows Drogba at Chelsea shows Newcastle delighted and Hull in tears and then says, but it wasn't a great farewell for Stevie Gerrard etc etc. Not a mention of Frank. Am I the only one who finds that odd. I really thought he was well respected in England and the English media. It was a big deal for him today and not a whisper about it.

The final decision to leave Chelsea was made after the season had ended, and remember they thought he was going to the MLS for game time, whereas in fact he came and warmed the bench for us, probably on similar money he was on at Chelsea (which they most likely refused to pay on a contract extension given his diminishing status)
Chelsea used his wages to pay Fabregas who weighed in with a prodigious number of assists. They won the league. Letting him go was the right thing for Chelsea FC in my personal opinion.
