Good to see Jay Rodriquez back and scoring. Wasn't he meant to be off to West Brom?

Hull 0-0 Utd after 70 mins. Would be a good effort from Hull if they get a point.

Surprised no Premier League clubs have taken a punt on Curtis Davies, a bit of a liability mentally but still think he has been solid for the past few seasons. Currently helping Hull to a clean sheet against Man United and the mighty Zlatan.

First time in the match someones made an effort to get into the 6 yard box when a cross is coming in and United score, who'd have thought that would work ey

The last 2 years we would have whimpered to a 0-0 there. Loved that we just kept increasing the pressure and going for it more and more. Did feel a little for Hull, Curtis Davies in particular was immense.

Was only one goal off on my super sixes this week. Just needed Southampton to have won 2-1 against Sunderland..

Deserved that win. Last season until LvG we'd have lost that.

It was a deserved win, but Hull deserve a lot of credit for holding on until injury time. Granted, the weather didn't help but Jakupovic and Davies were playing a blinder. Think the subs made the difference really.

Hull did very very well. I loved that we actually changed tactics a number of times to try and break them down. LvG would have taken a right back off instead.

Yeah he's always had a little nastiness in him. I remember his challenge on David Luiz a couple of years ago. Either way Fellaini gets away with this all the time so I'm sure he will too. Though I will admit this does look a little more aggressive.

Seriously? That's a bloody good effort! Did somebody get all 6? If not you'd have been a shoe in for the £5k prize.

Yeah apparently 29 people shared the jackpot, they got just over £8k each.

Sergio Aguero has been banned for three games meaning he misses the Manchester derby.

No idea if this is the right place to put this but this is quality, I know it's TalkSport but have a listen anyway: amazing story of when Brian Clough tried to sign Dean Saunders.

Mark Halsey's comment on the PGMOL are a bit puzzling - is his implication that they told him to say he hadn't seen controversial events so bans could be done?

Dean Saunders lying about Clough is a bit bizarre isn't it?

Weird how its went viral and seen as hilarious in the first place. Rather than just being seen as sad.

Dean Saunders strikes me as the type of bloke who desperately wants to be your mate so he makes shit up.

He told a story about when Clough tried to sign him for Forest, met him at Alan Hill's house. Brian Clough turned up late, pissed, refused to talk in front of his agent, made everyone sing Frank Sinatra and then destroyed Alan Hill's flowers in his back garden. Then Saunders left to go home, by the time he'd gotten home Brian Clough was already there with his missus and mother-in-law.

Although a few respected and connected journalists, former players, and Clough's family have all said it's bollocks I think.

Dunno, he refused to comment when the newspaper got in contact to tell him he was bullshitting.

I think he did meet Clough, but the story was immensely exaggerated and represented Clough as some sort of pathetic drunk. As Daniel Taylor wrote I hope his children weren't listening to their dad being spoken of like that.

It's incredibly cringey, and Dean Saunders comes off as a real prick.

Yeah basically. He's basically lying.

But the alternative is laughing at a deceased man, in the vice grip of the disease that killed him. And even if these stories kill on the after dinner speaking circuit - its a bit off that the mainstream media seem to have found the story hilarious and fair game rather than just plain sad.

Yes, it's highly irregular for the media to try and make a quick buck from other peoples suffering.
