They deserved it.

Yep certainly. 2-0 up after 8 minutes spelled the death sentence for Hull. Man U did it against them. I thought there was never any doubt as to who would win it.

It might spur us to do something. The reason I thought the winner would come earlier is everything was number 8 or derivations thereof. The first goal was 4 minutes, half of 8. The second was on 8 minutes. The third was 17, add 1 and 7. When 71 came I thought somebody must score and lo and behold 7 plus 1 is 8. So I thought 80 minutes or 88 or 91 but no, it came on 109. Number 16 scored the winner on the 17th and it's Wengers 8th or something. Hope you all ahve a good summer,it's time for cricket and tennis for me.

To be fair about the 109th minute, 1 + 0 = 1 less 9 is minus 8.

The absolute value of minus 8 is 8.

Fair enough Dutch. Hull were going to lose even before the match started.

I posted at half time that Hull needed to score the next goal to win it but alas no. I thought the score was going to be 4-2. 4-2=8 and it very nearly was.

By PURE coincidence I had the 8th post at 22.42 on here last night,PURE PURE coincidence that.

The Twilight Zone theme tune plays in the background...

Wasn't the date yesterday the 17th too?
