From Juan in Seattle on 606:
"Re 1926: I believe there is also a difference of a couple of million pounds between finishing 5th and 6th. Isn't that worth the extra effort?"

From Dave via text on 81111: "I'm optimistically predicting 8-0 victory for Hull. Rose tinted glasses?"
Yes.
From Liam via text on 81111: "Re 1922: It may be a big 'if' to win tonight, but it was also a big 'if' to get promoted last year!"
1931: TEAM NEWS
Aston Villa
boss Martin O'Neill goes for a front pairing of Gabby Agbonlahor and John Carew, with Emile Heskey dropping to the bench. Luke Young returns in defence, replacing Carlos Cuellar. Richard Garcia and Craig Fagan come into Hull's
midfield, Nicky Barmby and Dean Marney the men to miss out. Daniel Cousin replaces Caleb Folan up front.
1926: Villa saw Champions League football officially slip away at the weekend as Arsenal moved 13 points clear in fourth. Indeed, lying seven points above seventh-placed West Ham, Villa's season is all but over. All that's left for them, as a wise old colleague has just pointed out, is to decide the relegation places: as well as Hull, they also play Boro and Newcastle before the end of the season.
From HurricaneRun on 606:
"1-0 to Hull, George "The Boat" Boateng to score a 25-yard top corner screamer! Up the Tigers!"

1922: Still, what a very, very good weekend it's been for the Tigers. Every team around them lost, meaning if they win at Villa, they'll suddenly be six points clear of the relegation zone with only three games remaining. That is one gigantic "if"…
1919: In the form table (ie the last six games), Hull sit bottom of the Prem, while Villa lie 17th, above Newcastle and Sunderland. The Tigers have won once in 18 league matches, while Villa are on their worst run in two years after going nine games without a win.
1915: Hello there. Welcome along to a game between two of the worst sides in the Premier League (on current form). Should be a classic...
