West Ham’s dazzling display, Mesut Özil reveals nothing, and King Kazu soldiers on

Marcus, Andy and Pete are here to round off the FA Cup proper, as West Ham laboured past Stockport while Mike Dean and Mark Noble stared pensively into the night sky together. Blissful scenes.

Elsewhere, Mesut Özil’s Twitter exposé didn’t tell us much, apart from revealing his unquestionably legitimate beef with Petr Cech. We also look at how Royston Drenthe and Edgar Davids are getting on in their current jobs and celebrate King Kazu’s latest contract extension! That’s right, the Yokohama FC legend has signed a new deal ahead of his 54th birthday - Pete Donaldson is, of course, absolutely ecstatic.
