FA Premier League
Although
frustrated by postponement of our Festive meeting with Bentley Colliery (at our
opponents’ behest – the pitch would have been perfect), the ensuing blank
Saturday allowed me my first trip this season to the KC Stadium. It could not have been a better one!
In
fairness I should have known it was going to be good when the Younger Slushette
agreed to accompany me – her last visit to the ground had been to see the
Tigers rip the arris out of Neil Warnock’s Leeds United almost a year to the
day. Today she would see a different
type of master-class, although how much of this fact she actually appreciated
is difficult to gauge!
As we
left the KC following the aforementioned Leeds game, I told my youngest,
“You’ll probably not remember this in later life but you’ve just witnessed
probably the finest performance I can recall by a Hull City
As we
left the KC following this latest visit, I told my youngest, “You’ll probably
not remember this in later life but you’ve just witnessed probably the finest
performance I can recall by an individual Hull City
Okay, so
looking back I may find that statement to be slightly exaggerated. And it should also be stated now that Fulham
were bloody awful and looked every bit a side bound for relegation. On this evidence City could be aiming for
Europe and Huddlestone for inclusion in Roy ’s England
A far
more informed report of the match can be found here courtesy of those jolly
nice chaps at Amber Nectar.
Suffice
to say, a family tea at Home Farm (the Slushettes’ venue of choice) and top
billing on that night’s Match of the Day capped off a Saturday that just about
meets the definition of “perfect”.
