Time Wasting Tactics are Overrated
The job is done. The team will be heading to Wembley.

It wasn't as straight forward as Blackburn but yea, it still feels soooo damn good.

First things first, Hull goalkeeper Myhill. Time wasting tactics was his undoing. And twice in a row he decides to crash into his own player, only the first, Bendtner screwed up yet another shot. I hate time wasters. This shits can go to hell. And they always get bitten in the butt.

Bendtner. His persistence led to the equaliser. I think his physical presence up front really makes a difference in the league. He's getting better even though his shots are either blocked or well wide but he's trying. If he didn't come on I don't think we could have had this turnaround.

Eboue was hoping to snatch someone else's goal again when Bendtner had a shot saved by Myhill. He was all ready to stab in the rebound but didn't manage to. Hah. He came on for Walcott who was kept pretty quiet throughout.

Hull rode their luck for a while. They came to the Emirates with the belief that they could come away with a win the same way in September. Then their stroke of luck came soon enough courtesy of Johan Djourou. As a defender, if you plan on committing to the challenge, it's important to be 100% committed. Don't just stick out a stray leg which then gets punished with a deflection. In all honesty, I think Fabianski had it covered because it did look like a shot straight at the keeper. Nonetheless, that early goal gave Hull the cushion to start their negative tactics + time wasting.

Like that ever works. Did no one tell them that the Arsenal bombardment increases with time? Did no alarm bells ring when two fresh attackers took the pitch? Guess not. We were going for the win and that made the difference. Besides, Hull suffered tired legs. Can't ever play like that against a sublime Arsenal.

Not that we were fantastic. I could say we won ugly but who cares. Arshavin got another assist. He cooly laid the ball for Van Persie to smash home. Robin knew just where the goal was. Captain Robin 1 Hull 1.

The winning goal was kinda scrappy but I really can't tell if the ball came off Myhill's arm or Djourou's head. Whatever it is, good for Gallas to put the ball into the back of the net. Another crucial goal from him. He's been dry as of late.

That's it for now. I think Phil Brown is an idiot. At least in front of the camera when Hull 'scores' and he misses either the whistle or the flag. Ha ha ha. I bet he'll be whining after the match about being robbed yada yada whatever. After beating Arsenal there was talk about European qualification and I look at the table now and laugh my fuckin ass off.

P.S. Manucho look better the last game at Hull after he crashed into Djourou and got a larger face. I almost didn't recognise him today.

Time to sleep? It's 6a.m..
