The eve of the start of the Premier League - what else?!

Christmas Eve comes a bit earlier for us.

Big team favours from the referee already then! That was nowhere near inside the box!

+1

Well that was a turn up for the books!

Good result that. Surely Hull must be favorites for the Premier League title now?

I would have thought so Denny.

Would you bet a Gary Lineker on that, PS?

No chance. I don't want to frighten everybody!!

2 in a row

I know!

I was just about to put:

'Just watched Hull City beat Swansea' in the punfest thread but thought better of it...

I bet Swansea are gutted. 2 promoted teams up first? Beat Burnley away? Tick

Then have crisis club Hull City at home with their 13 fit first teamers? I bet they were rubbing their hands in anticipation of another 3 points...

Should be a good game tomorrow between the Mackems and the Smoggies!

I hope so. Kaboul going to watford and Kone faking a back injury have left us short in defence.

Kirchoff, Cattermole and Larson out. Borini doubtful so it could be interesting.

I think it will be tight...

'faking a back injury'

Big contract drama. Agent muddying things up.
Alledgedly was promised an improved contract so the gaent started touting him. Everton bid 18 million club don't want to sell so give him an improved offer which he apparently doesn't even consider then turns up the following morning with a back injury.

It's a shame as i think he's a class player and we looked good with him and kaboul in the centre

Ahh...

Player/agent power.

Yup,

Rumours of all types doing the rounds.

Alledgedly Moyes has banned him from the trainig ground til Sep 1st

We've offered him an improved contract

The owner says he's going nowhere as 4 years left on his contract

etc.

How much is his salary?

Could he do a Winston Bogarde?
