TIGERS RAMPANT!!!!

After a defeat at Mansfield Hepburn again had the job of motivating his troops for the top of the table potential "six pointer" against Cheltenham. It was a game of few chances for both teams with Hull mostly putting their chances over the bar as the strikers really had an off day is this game. It was a free kick for Brazilian sensation Paulinho that broke the deadlock for Hull and they seemed to be cruising to victory until six minutes from time when Cheltenham were awarded a dubious penalty that Laurie Wilson duly slotted home for the league leaders. The game finished a draw and saw Hull slip further down the table.

Next up was a potentially tricky trip to bottom of the table Yeovil who are fighting for their division 3 lives. Yeovil started the game like a team possessed as they tackled and fought for every ball. It worked as they took the lead through Bertie Brayley just before half time. It was a just reward for the effort put in in the first half. This lead was shortlived however as Hull came out for the second half and four minutes into the half it was 1-1 as Danny Allsopp levelled things. Yeovil however instead of caving in as usual rolled up their sleeves and went about trying to regain the lead with a few chances. Their persistency paid as off as Welsh striker Kevin Gall restored Yeovil's lead. Again this was shortlived as Danny Allsopp hit a brilliant equaliser for Hull to make it 2-2. Then eleven minutes from time that man Allsopp grabbed his hat trick with a low drive into the net. The Hull fans were ecstatic whereas the Yeovil fans looked dejected. It was a fantastic performance from Yeovil but lady luck was with Hull on this day.

Next to come to The Circle was Scunthrope Utd looking for a victory against an unconsistent Hull side. What they got was a rampant Hull side eager to build on that gutsy 3-2 win at Yeovil. Hull pasted up chance after chance and Hepburn thought it was not going to be his team's day but it was that man Allsopp who relieved Hepburn and the supporters nerves with a 58th minute winner. Should have been a lot more but a win is a win.

Next up for Hull in the league was a trip to Kiddiminster. It was a fantastic afternoon of flowing football from Hull as they ran out comfortable 3-0 winners against a poor Harriers side not able to match the power or pace of Hull. As usual Danny Allsopp opened the scoring with a great effort. Hull had to wait till the second half when Stuart Elliot scored to seal the win then Alan Tate scored his first goal for Hull after his move from Man Utd with a superb header.

Hull now find themselves in second place one point behind Cheltenham who have still to be beaten in the league this season.

FA CUP GLORY FOR TIGERS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY!!!!

Yes folks Hull City were drawn away to Manchester Utd in the FA cup third round at Old Trafford. Man Utd have won the trophy ten times and been runners up five times in this prestigous competition. Before the match bookies gave Hull absolutely no chance of scoring let alone winning at the Theatre of Dreams. Hepburn said this was a damage limitation job due to them having so much talent predicting a score of 4-0 to Manchester Utd or more. After seeing the team sheets Man Utd had fielded a weakened side without Keane, Giggs, Scholes, Van Nistelrooy or Ferdinand but was still a line up full of quality. The game kicked off and Hull had half a chance early on as Keates blasted over the bar. Hepburn was half expecting an onslaught after that but it did not come. Hull kept on creating chances early on and Danny Allsopp opened the scoring for Hull in the 19th minute to put the underdogs 1-0 up!!! :eek: :eek: Hepburn was jumping about the dugout daft as Allsopp celebrated in style with a triple somersault for his efforts. This really was happening at Old trafford ladies and gentleman. Then just before half time on loan signing Courtney Pitt put Hull 2-0 up with a shot from the edge of the penalty area. The scenes at Old Trafford can only be described as amazing. What a roar from the Hull fans when their team went off at half time. Hull were playing the game of their lives here!!!!

The second half started as the first half ended as Hull took the game to their opponents and created another couple of opening. Hepburn was expecting Sir Alex to give his players the hairdryer treatment at half time and Man Utd were going to come up and take Hull apart. Did not happen though as Hull increased their lead to three with a header from Damien Delaney. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Man Utd were in shock, Hull were in shock and Hepburn was going bonkers on the touchline getting his heroes in order for the final twenty minutes or so for the onslaught. However this Man Utd onslaught went with a wimper as they did not really create any chances and fettis was solid in goals for Hull when he had to be. What aperformance, what a result!!!!!

F/T - Manchester Utd 0 - 3 Hull City :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Fergie commented after the match saying,

"I cannot quite believe what has just happened today. A third division team has beaten my beloved Man Utd??? Who is there manager? Where did he come from? How come he is so good? **** I am gonna get him executed from ma Govan Posse for this ****ing result. What right does he have, coming to Old Trafford and have his team take apart my team of superstars!! ****ing b@st@rd!!!"

Hepburn's reply was simple,
"Move over old man there is a new Scottish managing sensation"

:cool:

#*#*#* Stevenage News #*#*#

The fixture list that was coming upon is certainly the hardest yet (on paper). We face 2nd place Dag & Red, Top 6 Halifax and a tricky away game against Farnborough.

Well the tricky away clash was first, we went to Farnborough on very good form indeed. Although being completely all over their midfield and defence we just somehow couldnt score.....until Huckerby did the honours and snatched the 3points.

It was the top two in the league ready for battle, we certainly were up for it and showed it with some tremendous display of passing and set plays. We completely destroyed Dagenham with a massive scoreline of 7-2, Huckerby and Humphreys both bagged a brace which was followed with goals from Brennan, Coates and on loan defender Williamson.

Well after going 20 games unbeaten in the league, it was time for a "CM Moment", you guessed it, we got completely screwed over by CM, Halifax got 2 pens in the game wish no one got booked for!! We lost 2-1 due to their pens and CM not letting me score more than 1 goal from 20+ shots. (typical).

Well the next league game saw us take on Northwich, the team we enjoyed a very nice cup against, it was the same story again and should of been the same scoreline as before with the amount of chances we had, but the 4-0 scoreline is good enough for 3pts, Humphreys still on fire and got 2 goals along with Huckerby and club captain Juliusson also being on the scoresheet.

GIANT KILLING BORO - FA Cup 3rd Round

With a well known giant killing by Hull, Stevenage kept theirs a little more low profile, We faced Crewe away and were certainly up for some more giant killing.....so thats what we did

Super goal king Humphreys notched another goal along with our brand new signing Jorge Campos

January Transfers

Jorge Campos - Free
Artus - Free

Both players very experienced and got some very good pace, both are quality players and i'm hoping they will give us that extra special in the creativity department.
