Hull City A.F.C. top League 1 by beating Stockport 3-1 at the end of christmas!


I was extremely pleased to see that Hull City have reached 1st place in League One for the first time this season after winning at league one struglers Stockport. Wilbraham was rewarded for his goal on Saturday with a starting place against his former team, and after just 10 minutes he scored, nice to see the rest of the team can fill in for Stuart Elliott and Nick Barmby! However, a lack of communication allowed Danny Adams to equalise 14 minutes later for Stockport.

Half time substitute Michael Keane had the chance to put City back in front when Leon Cort won a debatable penalty, but County 'keeper Neil Cutler made a good save. It didn't take much longer for City to restore the lead though as Jason Price scored a close-range header in the 61st minute, before Danny Allsopp wrapped up the win 4 minutes later courtesy of a mix-up in Stockports defence.

The three points sees City go top after Luton could only manage a draw at Peterborough. A few months ago I thought that Luton would win the league for sure, it shows how wrong you can be. And the New Year should be extremely interesting league wise! Plus in March I have a whole new season of Formula One to watch which should prove to be good!
