Sounds like a plan, where do you sit? Also, what time? It has to be a time when nobody else is waving/cheering etc.
Chris Hughton’s side contributed to an entertaining 2-2 draw at Everton – courtesy of late winner by Ricky van Wolfswinkel This but made me laugh. We'll win comfortably today.
By Steve Wilson BBC Match of the Day commentator BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE Venue: KC Stadium Date: Saturday, 24 August Hull could hand first starts to summer signings Tom Huddlestone and Jake Livermore. The Tigers remain without Irish midfielder Stephen Quinn because of a hamstring problem but he has an outside chance of being available next weekend. Norwich winger Elliott Bennett has been ruled out until next year after suffering knee ligament damage. Gary Hooper is also sidelined, but Johan Elmander could make his debut after joining on loan from Galatasaray. MATCH PREVIEW It's a big day for the City of Hull and for Hull City (I don't think you'll find me adding the Tigers bit to their official name, whatever the owner wants). Whilst the football team play their first home game back in the Premier League since relegation in 2010, Hull FC rugby league club, joint tenants of the KC Stadium, play in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley. There'll have been many a supporter not sure which ticket to queue for. Boss Steve Bruce is a battle-hardened Premier League campaigner, which is just what the club need. I felt that in their first top-flight spell there were a few too many people who were a bit too pleased with themselves for being at the top table, where eventually humble pie was on the menu. Despite the defeat at Chelsea, Bruce will have taken some encouragement from their game at Stamford Bridge. I'm sure he'll feel his side are ready to take their first point of the season against Norwich, the club where he made his name as a trusty centre-back A point would probably keep both managers happy enough; Chris Hughton's side looked good in their draw against Everton last week and the bad news of a long-term injury to winger Elliott Bennett has been offset by the arrival of Johan Elmander on loan from Galatasaray. Ricky van Wolfswinkel didn't do much apart from score against Everton, but there'll be no complaints if it's a trick he repeats most weekends, and Nathan Redmond looked every inch a top-flight player on his debut at this level. With Elmander, van Wolfswinkel, Gary Hooper and Luciano Becchio, Norwich have far more attacking options than last season when only Stoke and QPR scored fewer goals. I'm very hopeful for a bright, open encounter which will leave those who decided to skip the rugby at Wembley feeling that they made a good call. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head Hull have only lost one of their last seven games against Norwich. All but one of the last eight encounters have ended in 1-1 or 2-1 scorelines. This will be the first time the clubs have met in the top flight. Hull The Tigers have won one of their last 14 Premier League games (D3, L10). Their last top-flight victory was a 2-0 success against Fulham in March 2010 when Iain Dowie was their interim manager. Hull won only one of their final five home Championship games last term (D2, L2). They scored 61 league goals last season, fewer than any other top-half Championship club, and five fewer than Peterborough, who finished 20 places below them and were relegated. Norwich The Canaries won at Manchester City on the final day of last season to claim their first away win in 10 league games (D2, L7). However, their tally of two away victories last term was the joint lowest in the Premier League. They have kept clean sheets in just two of their last 52 away games in the top flight.
Been really busy at work lately, sorry I didn't get enough time to get my Preview done posted. I can see City winning 2-1.
I think the Prem is tougher this time around with no obvious candidates outside of the 3 promoted clubs set to struggle. Most games will be tough and i'm expecting the odd humping along with the odd upset. today's prediction 1-1
