Album of the Month: London 0 Hull 4

No, I'm not referring to Hull City's victories over London Town clubs West Ham, Arsenal, Spurs and Fulham this season. In 1986, The Housemartins released an album titled London 0 Hull 4 in reference to band member Paul Heaton's assertion that they were the fourth best band from Hull (after Red Guitars, Everything but the Girl, and The Gargoyles) and that there were no good bands from London. On 20 October various British media headlined City's victory over West Ham the previous day with the title of the album. Heh, brilliant!

FUN FACT: Band member Norman Cook is now better known as DJ Fatboy Slim!

Chelsea 0 - 1 LIVERPOOL [Alonso 10'], EPL Gameweek 9

Saturday 21 February 2004. That was the last time Chelsea lost a league game at home. Claudio Ranieri was still the manager and the victors were Arsenal. The Gooners went on to win the title and remained unbeaten. Chelsea finished second. Fast forward four years and eight months. Sunday 26 October 2008. Liverpool become the first club in 86 league games to defeat The Blues at Stamford Bridge. It's been a long time coming and though the goal was deflected, it's the end result that matters. We defended with passion and came out trumps. We've defeated Man Utd at home and now Chelski away. We're three points clear at the top and what's more, we've beaten our only two title-challengers (no disrespect to Hull City) within the first ten games. And both victories were achieved without Fernando Torres. Imagine how good we'll be when he returns from injury. And we're the only unbeaten Premier League club in all competitions this season. There's still a long way to go, but we've made our title credentials very clear. Numero 19, here we come! COME ON YOU REDS!!! YNWA!!!
