Hull City vs Manchester City

roryc

Didn't see a match thread up for this so here goes...

KO at 4pm, I've 4 players from my FF team playing so want to see lots of goals

Expect Hull to put up a good fight, City have been terrible away from home so far.

Can't find the line-up anywhere, has it been announced yet?

Xavi6

I'll have the City line up in about 20 mins.

3-1 Hull

Xavi6

Hart
Zab
Richards

How long is Petrov out?

Why... where would you play him? I agree though, no goals or assists in 7 or 8 games...

Well he is one of the best right wingers in the league so right wing might be an idea.

Xavi6

Lol Robinho is captain. Ridiculous.

hmmmmm, that really doesnt sound like a Hughes decision to me.

Me wonders if perhaps the rich arabs are interfering a little.

d'oh... misread your post, thought you were wondering why he was playing in midfield at all...

City fans seem to be booing Geovanni

PiE

Hughes must be on orders. No manager in his right mind would make Robinho captain. They're clearly doing everything they can to massage his ego in the hopes he doesn't start asking for a transfer.

Just came on to post this. Really doesn't strike me as the inspiring leader type...

1-0 Hull

city city city... ben haim at fault was it?

Cousin has now scored against United, Arsenal and City

Frisbee

Looks like Dunne gave Ben-Haim his curse...

Richards ball wasn't great by any stretch of the imahination though...

Xavi6

Howler

Dave!

lulz... come on the Hull

Frisbee

Big blow losing Hart.
He's a cracking keeper

roryc

Here comes Kasper the Friendly keeper...

Raoul

Who made the assist? Or was it just a cock up by the defence to give them the goal.

Xavi6

Hart gone now

no assist

Raskolnikov

City don't seem to realise there's a game on.

Raoul

Just checking. Fantasy football team has Myhill, Marney, Geovanni and Robinho. Had a brilliant week so far, in the top 500 overall. Hopefully some of the above will do something useful.

Xavi6

Ginger Ninja booked. Let Robby run at him now.

Dave!

1632: "What are City going to spend £200m on when they are in the Championship next season? Probably more strikers…"
Wolfinnotts on 606

Raskolnikov

What a fluke!

roryc

Defensive errors ftw

Xavi6

Lawl!

redout

Just because he scored doesn't mean they will change their minds.
There's no denying his footballing ability.
Unfortunately there's also no denying he's a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

Dave!

IRELAND FOR IRELAND!!!!!! lol

COME ON HULL!!!!!! DO IT FOR DAVEY!!!!!!!

all he is is the basket tbh

Ireland has been one of the best players in the premiership this season.... brady and trap should be at that game begging him to come back.

Why would you want someone who doesn't want you? kinda comes across as needy.

Have you watched City at all this season? He's a shoe in for Player of the Year and will make the PFA Team of the Year if he keeps this form up.

Dave!

Ahh lads let's not do this again............

Just watch the match and enjoy Hull's comeback
