Uh oh, United is back in the top 4. With a game in hand, and when it evens up only will be 3 pts back. For a team that had to start on the road against everyone, no Ronaldo and injuries all over the place not too shabby.

And Rooney is still scoring.

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.
