[San Francisco]

they are not staying up, they'll get beat and the bubble will pop

It's incredibly hard to play 10 men behind the ball all season and not get found out eventually.

 

[TomRad85]

Hull starting well is clearly a bad thing for us though. We need a win soon.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

When they go behind let’s see what they do

 

[Ccfcisparks]

This is what peoplesaid about Hull last year "they're fighting the xG"

Thats how it tends to be. Being compact and going for a sucker punch may work enough to get them over theline

 

[Evo1883]

Ive yet to see them play fucking well , such jammy twats

We've been screwed over by the two away fixtures from that perspective but gambling last week was unnecessary on Lampard's part, there comes a point where you have to just accept you aren't scoring in a month of Sundays and call it 0-0.

They are a fucking horrible watch.

i'm baffled us, united and villa have looked at them low blocking the edge of the penalty area and not thought "let's trying going down the side of them" villa tried it a couple of times and should have scored

 

[Evo1883]

Like radio 5 just said a minute ago

Coventry on 0 points but have already played arsenal and city away

We are 3 points worse off that what we all expected

You'd think against better quality finishing at prem level it isn't sustainable but you never know

 

[Londonccfcfan]

I really dont see Hull going down

Villa spunked a couple great chances today , they are getting the rub of the green so far

Villa were holding on for dear life at the end.

Can't argue that their 7 points are well earned. Havnt fluked it.

They have found a way of playing where they are very hard to beat ( well organised) and have some threats. They will be handful and confidence is sky high. Will be hard to stop.

 

[Matt smith]

Such a big game next weekend

We either need to win one or draw 2 before the break

Let's see how well they defend against Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool away.

Chelsea away next weekend

You dont get a lucky 7 points in the premiership. Everything has to be spot on to get a win back to front in and out of possession. Keepers been very impressive.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I thought early in Villa had worked out Hull they were moving the ball quickly back to front other teams will have watched that.

I think they've had some fortune , undeniably infact

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Lol Villa 75% possession one shot on target ! Hull had 4 shots on target.

This is game about what you do in both boxes. That's where games are won and lost.

 

[San Francisco]

Chelsea away next weekend

They'll ship a few there.

Certainly weird that we want them to fail. If we were still in the Championship we'd be singing their praises as a club promoted via the playoffs. Got to focus on ourselves really.

 

[David O'Day]

good fortune today that 2 villa players missed easy chances

 

[Ccfcisparks]

You'd hope not, and they have played another promoted side and two sides who are unreliable at the best of times.

Hopefully it turns against them. If at Christmas they are no more than 5 points ahead of us then no harm done

 

[Ccfcisparks]

good fortune today that 2 villa players missed easy chances

Hull had 3 great opportunities to score and hit the bar twice

 

[Evo1883]

Theyve surrendered 45 shots in 3 matches and have conceded zilch from a 4.9 xg against

Bit of luck there , rub of the green 101

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Got away with that over a 46 game season last year.

They got away with stuff like that all last season. Got into play offs thanks to us beating Wrectum when we didn't need to and probably only won the play offs because 'Tonda' is a cheat. Very lucky club currently no doubt.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Hull by far the better chances.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

They did the same in the champ as well, how many matches were they beaten on xg but got a win or draw

 

[David O'Day]

Hull by far the better chances.

you mean apart from the 2 villa ones that were really easy?

 

[Grendel]

Villa will be down there. The pressure will grow exponentially on them. Really are not the team of last year.

They didn’t win any of their first 5 games last season

 

[David O'Day]

They didn’t win any of their first 5 games last season

it appears the 2nd year in a row they have not scored in any of their first 3 matches as well

 

[Londonccfcfan]

2 shit teams..who we should both be finishing above. Problem is we given one a 7 point head start.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Haven't watched them enough but think it's happened too often to be by accident.

 

[Shannerz]

I think they've had some fortune , undeniably infact

They have, but you don't keep three clean sheets on the bounce by luck alone. They do deserve credit.

Obviously, it's highly unlikely to be sustainable, but then everyone said that about them last year, too. It has to be one of the worst, and luckiest, promotions in history that they got, but fair play, they're making the most of it so far.

 

[Evo1883]

They didn’t win any of their first 5 games last season

They ahve some players to come in that they signed too

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Whether Hull get relegated or not, they've had a good start. Obviously it isn't good for us, but at the same time it's fair to recognise they've given it a decent go.
