So with Liverpool @ Chelsea and Hull @ West Brom next week, Hull very well could move into a tie for second place in the Premier League. I love it when newly promoted teams are able to find success in the top flight. To often the club that are promoted one year get relegated back down the year or two after. For Hull to go from the fourth tier (Football League Two) to the top level in only 5 years is rather amazing.

agreed joe. Kept many of the same core of players and they play very well together. Good stuff.
Anybody going to be in N. Alabama this coming weekend? More than welcome to come watch football at my place.

Steven Gerrards goals...38 minutes long

just if you're bored at work like me. I know I'm all about Captain Wonder, but certainly the man has scored some magnificent goals in his time.

Amazing, hope they can keep it up but I gotta ask the question, WHERE IS DEAN WINDASS?!?!?!

10-20-2008, 01:34 PM

"Dean Windass (born 1 April 1969 in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for his hometown club, Hull City.
Windass' career has come full circle, having started as a trainee at Hull and signing his first professional contract there. He has also played for Aberdeen, Oxford United, Bradford City, Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United. He is seen as a controversial player, once being sent off three times in a game for Aberdeen, as well as grabbing another opponent's testicles while at Bradford City, but also is Bradford's third highest scorer of all-time." (wiki)

3 TIMES IN ONE MATCH!?! hell fire, I can't manage to even get straight red for telling the official how extremely intelligent he is and ripping his velcro'd badge off and taking it with me.. I just got 2 yellows for it.

the old fart got the goal that got them there and as far as I know he hasn't played a minute? Shameful.

after telling the clown exactly how incredibly intelligent he was and HANDING HIM my copy of the FIFA 07-08 Laws I figure I'd do better than just a 2nd caution.

# Date Team Player Offense ban
3 10/19/08 Wolde Robert Pittman 2nd Caution 1 Game

EPL UPDATE:
L'pool:
Stevie G says 'pool must start to dictate matches from start to finish rather than relying on Herculean combacks, Torres at best, extremely doubtful for Saturdays Clash w/ Chelsea. Good news, Dirk kuyt is on fire.
Chelsea:
After the 'our-reserve-team-scored-5-goals-against-boro-outing' Chelsea certainly look to have the firepower needed to be on top when it matters. First Top of the table clash coming Saturday Liverpool @ Stamford bridge.
ManU: Rooney Started to score.. maybe he should keep the haircut.
Arsenal: *INJURY UPDATE* Kolo Toure out for at least a month, Arsene Wengers squad seem to lack "grit" the ability to win ugly.
***** Other news warrented**********************
Zaki is the real deal
Official hit with 50 P peice... ( I do not condone such violent action )
Newcastle and Tottenham are getting relegated.
