| David Meyler after his wonder goal against Liverpool this afternoon |
Yes we beat them 3-1 and I was there - looking down upon the field of dreams. The Great Steven Gerrard and their terror-striker from Uruguay - Luis Suarez - they could not compete with the mighty Hull City - The Tigers! We beat them fair and square and it could have easily been more - maybe 5-1 but we'll settle for three. Our lads fought together as a team and just like David suppressed the Liverpudlian Goliath.
On a sour note, our Egyptian owner has a crazy notion to change the club's historical name to Hull Tigers and a verbal war has broken out between him and a section of objecting fans whose slogan has become "City Till I Die!" In a radio interview, the owner said "Well let them die then!" and at today's match a new chant went up - "Die When We Want To! We'll Die When We Want To!" It's all a distraction that the team could do without. But on this auspicious day, let all bloggers, stalkers, spammers, government internet spies and other visitors join me as we sing the traditional Hull City song. One...two..three:-
YP. I was sceptical when I read of match fixing last week. I'm having second thoughts now.
ReplyDeleteAdrian...ever heard of jawbone fixing? Grrrrr!
DeleteSounds like it would have been a great live game. You can't help passionate supporters. It might actually spur the players on to bigger things. Well done Hull City!!
ReplyDeleteMy team have played in relative obscurity nearly all the years I have supported them. Now we are in the light and as you know Hull has been chosen as the next British City of Culture. It will be thronging with Australian and American tourists + Katherine deChien from NZ.
DeleteCongratulations to Hull City and all their supporters for a very well played match.
ReplyDeleteYour congratulations are gratefully accepted. Which football club did you/do you support? I am guessing either Aldershot or The Gunners of Arsenal.
DeleteBayern Munich. Close.
DeleteRiding high, are we?
ReplyDeleteMy congratulations to Hull City fans everywhere (well, wherever they are) on your auspicious accomplishment, although you know, of course, that you personally didn't do it, it was them lads on the field what done it, but that doesn't reduce the thrill of victory one bit, now, does it?
Bob - I didn't hear you singing along to "I Can't Help Falling in Love With You" and please don't worry - you are not the subject of this song - unless of course Madam Brague ever sings it while lounging in the bubble bath you have kindly prepared for her!

ReplyDeleteTiger city, burning bright
Below the grandstands of the night
What other team's foot or hand
Who else in England's pleasant land?
E'en threat of Assem's change
('Die when we want' was the exchange)
Could n'er beat the fire in thine eyes.
On what wings dare HE aspire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy mob began to chant,
What team dared to try supplant?
Well, not Liverpool, that's for sure.
Bravo Madam Kate! Bravo indeed! Next time I am at the KC Stadium I shall urge the rest of the crowd to join me in a mass recital of your marvellous poem! And may I say you would look even lovelier with a black and amber striped bobble hat upon your clever head! Bravo!
