"Alan [Curbishley] has a proven track record and understands full well what it takes to succeed," said Meulensteen. (Fulham's new unknown manager upon the appointment of Curbishley as Technical Director) Succeed at what? How to survive a relegation battle? That's just about it. Nothing more.
Perhaps Meulensteen is having trouble pronouncing the words 'hoof the ****ing thing'. Curbishley should be able to manage that.
Given Fulham's precarious position, I'd say that's pretty much what they need right now. Bringing in Dempsey on loan should give them a boost, too.
Bruce hits the bar from a Huddlestone corner. Our midfielders are having a decent game. Janusaj is on a booking and he does a blatant looking dive. The ref ignores it completely.
....and nuts the post! I can't believe my luck today. I had to draft in Chester to my fantasy team. he costs very little, so I've had him as a cheap sub all season. Today, with doubts over Luke Shaw (again) I decided to give him a game. Perfect debut for me, as he scores! Then it all does tits up, the Hull defence concedes 2, and to top it all off, Chester scores an own goal!
Valencia really stupidly sent off for kicking the ball away. Already picked up a ban for 5 yellows, so he should miss our game, I think. 3 minutes of injury time in the first half, when Man Utd weren't winning and only 3 minutes at the end of the second, when they are. Moyesy time?
Two really good chances to level it up at the end, but Hull waste them both and Utd win. Annoying. Bruce keeps up his 0% record against his old club.
Somebody tell Steve Bruce he doesn't ow Man Utd any favours - if he was going to get the job, they'd have offered it to him by now.
Huddlestone has had more shots then anyone else this season ,and still has'nt scored.According to MoTD
