Hull 1 - Millwall 1

Ben Burgess's equaliser saved City from a third successive home defeat. City started the game with a 4-4-2 formation, with Mark Lynch, Andy Dawson, Stuart Green and Nick Barmby recalled to the starting line-up. Curtis Woodhouse did his job on the post to clear a Carl Asaba header from a 12th minute Millwall corner.

Nick Barmby had the best of a series of half-chances for City, lobbing just over. Ben Burgess came on at half time as Peter Taylor changed to a formation talked about before the game. Despite City's new attacking style, it was Millwall who scored first. A cross came in and Myhill saved from Dunne, but the rebound fell to Asaba who shot into the empty net, just after the hour mark. City showed spirit to fight their way back into the game being played under heavy rain, but were failing to create anything to worry the visitors.

City continued to go after it until the final whistle, but a winner didn't come and both sides will be happy enough with a point. I think that if Ben Burgess hadn't come on the game would have been lost as at present Stuart Elliot still cannot find his feet in this division, hopefully it will only be a matter of time!

Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7

I was pleased to see today that Mozilla has released a new version of Firefox (1.0.7), that automatically downloaded and updated the extensions as promised, which I must say is very good. I was also reading in the following article that a lot of long term internet explorer bugs have still not being fixed. So come on Microsoft you have a lot to live up to with the new Internet Explorer 7, to make it my personal browser of choice once again!

Tory party left leaderless, as Blair promises to stay on!

The Tory party was left leaderless for a further three months on the day Tony Blair promised to stay on as Prime Minister to lay the foundations for a fourth successive Labour election victory.

The contrasting fortunes of the parties were brought into sharp focus yesterday when Michael Howard's plans to reform the Conservative leadership rules were rejected by his party at the same time as Mr Blair was dashing Gordon Brown's hopes of an early hand-over of power.

Hull City back to winning ways!

I am pleased to see that Hull City seemed to make light work of Coventry. But overall I think we need to be greatful that Peter Taylor mananged to get on-loan Liverpool midfielder John Welsh, as he scored a goal in each half as 10-man Hull beat Coventry at the Ricoh Arena. The 21-year-old powered home a right-foot shot from the edge of the penalty area before the break.

Hull defender Mark Lynch was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 70th minute and Coventry looked well set to take advantage. But Welsh dealt the hosts a killer blow in the second half, curling home a fine shot from the left side of the box. If we could have beaten both Stoke & Luton 1-0, we'd be in 4th place now!

I thought I would also mention today that it is 40 years since Dougal Haston and Doug Scott have become the first Britons to reach the summit of the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest! The men arrived at the top of Mount Everest via the previously unclimbed south-west face, 33 days after establishing their base camp. The team succeeded on a difficult direct route which has repulsed five other attempts and set a record for the fastest time up the peak.

Expedition leader Chris Bonington reported the pair had reached the 29,028ft (8,848m) summit safely and were now on their way down the mountain. He also said they were ahead of schedule and hoped more of the 18-strong group would be able to reach the top. The south-west face of Everest is still regarded as one of the most difficult challenges in mountaineering because of its length and exposure to high-level winds. So you can't say my blog isn't slightly educational!

Five years ago Steve Redgrave won his fifth olympic gold!

Five years ago today british rower Steve Redgrave entered Olympic history by winning his fifth consecutive gold medal. Redgrave won his gold alongside Matthew Pinsent, Tim Foster and James Cracknell in the coxless fours on day eight of the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. It doesn't really seem like five years ago does it, or is life just moving to fast!

British tennis number 1 Tim Henman contemplates end of career!

I was dissapointed to read today that Tim Henman could be thinking about retirement at the end of 2006!

British number one Tim Henman has hinted he will quit tennis if he cannot recapture his best form in 2006. After a testing year, the 31-year-old star said if results do not start going his way he could hang up his racket. "I have belief in my qualities as a player and expect the results to come," Henman told BBC Sport. "But if I'm doing the right things in practice, after a month or three months of things not happening a player does question himself." Henman almost wrote off the 2005 season after failing to find his groove in practice and suffering from back and shoulder problems.
