Looking forward to Hull City tomorrow night, a mate at Dad's work is already full of it after stuffing Millwall at the weekend. I've never felt such a mixed bag of emotions, smug that mucky Millwall got the pasting they deserved, nail bitingly nervous that the Tigers are roaring just when our paper thin squad of misfits, Grandads and youngsters are blowing more hot and cold more indecisively than Arabs in a Russian Roulette face off with Bates...
I love and loathe Tuesday nights in equal measure. Either half empty chilly, dour affairs or electric, full house brilliant banter and goals galore - never seems to be in between.
With McCormack injured the spectre of Simon Graysons downfall looms large...Warnock looks to be forced into the role of reluctant loan arranger. One of the Codhead's picks in the current Hull eleven is a pacy Sunderland player but then again does that say more about the gaps between Championship and even mid table Prem than it does about having a quality squad at your disposal? Look at Leicester. What about the ongoing Beckford saga? Livermore playing for England.... we need to cut past the hype, dross and Bates diva demands and concentrate on our team only. Becchio needs to step up to the plate; good start but can he keep momentum? How will he cope without the service of Ross?Rodolph Austin is a beast but how long before he becomes a Vinnie Jones/Batts hybrid and gets a lengthy suspension? Diiirty Leeds. Oh and someone wind Varney 's stop clock up... that guy is stuck on slo mo! Byram also becoming quite a crowd pleaser but just hope he's not a one season wonder, plenty of games to go...Oh and Tom Lees, nice one on getting into the England U21 set up but one question - Why So...Serious?!
So, for me, the head says tough game, be pleased to grind out a draw on Hull's current form, heart says I am desperate to leave the Codhead fan All Shook Up and Lonesome Tonight ...failing that I'll get him singing his anthem Can't Help Falling In Love... but- With Leeds ;)
