Hull vs WBA - Match Thread - Ska'dForLife-WBA - 03-12-2014
Dear Father Christmas,
It's been a long time since I last wrote to you (the fateful Yuletide when you mistakenly deposited a DIY roof-tiling kit down our chimney in place of a ZX Spectrum was, I fear, a point of no return) but I once again have a proposition requiring the attention of your elves. In fact, if you have eleven elves who can pass a ball forwards and another who's capable of teaching them not run around like headless chickens under the slightest pressure, this would go a long way to solving my predicament altogether.
Failing that, all I want for Christmas is:
1. Someone capable of scoring goals without huffing and puffing for half an hour to win a penalty first
2. Someone who can outpace a sloth at least six times out of ten, and can reliably kick a football from the side of the pitch into the penalty area, thus making request number one eminently more likely
3. Given the very real possibility that we already have people who can fulfil both of these requirements, could you provide us with someone who'll actually give them the chance to?
4. And, of course, a ZX Spectrum. Better late than never, you corpulent simpleton.
Fly safe, mucka
Ska'd
P.S. Due to an unfortunate misprint at the calendar factory, Christmas Day this year will actually be taking place on Saturday 6th December, and following a wholly unexpected and highly localised tornado, my chimney is currently located at the KC Stadium in Hull.
Classic Match
Hull City 1-2 West Bromwich Albion
Football League, Division Two: 31st October 1992
You have to hand it to Ossie Ardiles; he knew how to stop the rot in style after a winless run. Having Darren Bradley on form helped; attacking the other team didn't hurt, either.

Foster
Wisdom-Dawson-Lescott-Pocognoli
Mulumbu-Gardner
Dorrans-Sessegnon-Berahino
Anichebe
Myhill
McAuley
Gamboa
Morrison
Varela
Blanco
Ideye
If Hull are playing a back 4 then the above team can stay as it is but if Hull play with 3 centre backs then Berahino and Seasegnon can switch positions with Berahino pushing forward to play alongside Anichebe in a 4-4-2.
Hull held Everton to a 1-1 draw tonight. They have gone above Burnley into 17th which means we are now only 1 point clear of the relegation zone.

At least there is no Long this year. DD

I was at that 1992 game, and rejoiced at Bradley's last minute goal. My joy lasted about 5 minutes - got back to the car and they'd booked 1/2 dozen Albion cars for parking offences after the coppers told us it was alright to park there! B*stards!

Liking that, JH
With Ideye hopefully making an impact from the bench.
If Alan reverts back to type yet again for this one I will not only be questioning his managerial ability but I will start to wonder whether he was dropped on his head as a child

Can't have been; it would have knocked some sense into him.
