Newcastle v Hull City match report

So you reckon the dream might be over?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

You may have heard that Newcastle are having a few difficulties?

During the international break Newcastle had plenty of time to appoint a replacement for Keggy and that was the worry for Hull fans - if they got someone sh*t hot and they would get that boost from having a new leader to inspire them.

Well, this being Newcastle, that hasn’t happened.  I don’t want to gloat about their troubles, especially as I’ve had a few good nights in Newcastle in the past and hell – it’s these sorts of big name clubs with history and international fame that we’ve been looking forward to playing against.

However – I would love it, just love it if we beat them!

Pete is at the match – up in the gods he tells us after.  A really good view of the pitch, but feeling somewhat disconnected.

I chuckle everytime Manish on Football Focus says “Haaahhll” in that BBC accent (there’s been a fan for a number of years who is famous for shouting out “Cahm on Haahhll” in the same southern softie accent - struggling to spell it so, think Paul Whitehouse doing the “with my reputation”.

We’re back listening to Burnsie lion Radio Humberside (BBC – don’t you think it’s about time to change the name now!).

Goal!  Protest! Protest!  Goal!  Condede…Win!

Hull City have beaten Newcastle at home, playing in the same formation that the King Kev devised. 

Hull City have stopped Michael Owen from scoring - and beaten Shay Given twice.

Are you watching Wigan?

Are you watching Lawro?

Yeah, yeah – according to all the experts the victory is just due to Newcastle’s troubles, rather than Hull City’s skills…

And if we beat Everton (which we won’t now I’ve typed that…) they will say it’s because of difficulties facing the Everton team blah blah…

Bring it on anyway.
