Match report: Bolton 2 - Hull 2

It is only December, but it is not too early to start talking about end-of-the-season relegation. Coming into this match, Bolton and Hull City were tied for 18th place, so obviously both sides wanted to win very badly. Bolton was up 2-0 in the second half (on goals by Klasnic and Davies), but Hull came back to tie on two goals by Stephen Hunt. (See photo above-- Hunt is on the right, raising his arms in celebration of scoring the tying goal. Bolton's Paul Robinson is trying, and failing, to keep the ball out of the net.) The match had all the energy and excitement of a World Cup quarter-final, minus the skill.

Post-match update: Following the game, Bolton manager Gary Megson was fired by the club.

What in the world is this thing?

I missed it, but my daughter saw it going into half-time of the Arsenal - Hull City game today.

Oh yeah, and Hull came back to beat Arsenal 2-1. Meanwhile, after the game, Arsenal skipper Arsene Wenger was so upset that he referred to Hull as "West Brom".

COCKNEY MAFIA OUT!

Newcastle owner Mike Ashley announced today that he is putting the club up for sale. After a disastrous start to the season, including yesterday's loss at home to Hull City, Ashley bowed to fan demands that he give up the club. There has been no word about what will happen to recently fired manager Kevin Keegan. Ashley's decision to sell the team was unrelated to the recent well-publicized beer he drank during Newcastle's match against Arsenal.
