**MCFC V Hull Official Match Thread**

[Somerset Blue]

Not sure if this can be 'official' without BBL's say so?

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

Any stems?

[Abu Dhabi]

Gutted won't watch this one. I'm missing the 1st game this season. Will be at the stad attending our asian champions league qualis same kick off time. Will be watching this space though

[Somerset Blue]

Torn between trying to find one of those internet (BANNED WORD) thingys/'watching' on here, or avoiding the scores then watching the highlights later on Sky followed by MotD.

It's a hell of a long time not to know the score, and I think this could be a very important w/e for us so it's nice to be involved 'live' and share in the event. But I also like it if I wait, we win and then watch MotD knowing that anything else is a bonus.

Decisons, decisions...

[Fidel Castro]

I've been looking forward tot his game after last week's boring crap and now I won't be able to watch it. I'll be too busy eating jerk chicken and getting stoned in preparation for Bob Marley's 65th anniversary tribute concert thingy tonight

If anyone has any working "stems" i would really really appreciate a PM prior to KO.

We have some team news from the OS:
Given, Zabba, Boyata, Toure, Bridge, Ireland, de Jong, Barry, Johnson, Adebayor, Tevez

[Moonchesteri]

Given
Zabaleta - Boyata - Toure - Bridge
Ireland - de Jong - Barry
TEvez -ADebayor - Bellamy
.

Official (may I say so without BBL's permission?)

edit: OS got it wrong and it's Bellamy instead of Johnson there.

[edge275]

I thought Vieira was fit?

[Elvistheblue]

According to the BBC Johnson starts on the bench...??

1411: Liverpool send Ryan Babel on for David Ngog. Meanwhile, Wayne Bridge starts for Manchester City today, with Adam Johnson and Patrick Vieria on the bench.

I guess the OS would be more reliable though!!

Right then, The BBC were right after all.....Johnson on the bench...Bellamy starts.

The man on the OS just said that Bellamy will start in place of Johnson. He had an insider tip on Johnson starting, but that was wrong.

I was actually looking forward very much to seeing Jinky. Well maybe from the bench when we're 3 nil up... ;o)

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Strong team there the bench looks good aswell.

[Dubciteh]

ive a bad feeling about this lads, think we could be in for a frustrating afternoon!

[Wooders]

we've got great options on the bench there - another big afternoon for Boyatta

Even though I have a hungover which usually leads to more pessimistic feelings I have a good feeling about this! I'm sure Stevie will score a goal tonight!
