Thanks for those that joined us this morning for our first early morn live commentary.
The Jozy goal watch is on off while Holden–despite rumors–is still outside the 18.
Hang around to comment here for other games…I’ve got to go walk the dog.
—-
- Kenny Cooper in the 18 for Plymouth Argyle today against West Brom….I think he’ll get in there today…UPDATE: Cooper came on in the 58th minute.
- Jozy Altidore finally nets his first Premiership goal in the 30th minute to give Hull a 1-0 lead at Manchester City.
- Arjen Robben is on a tear. He hit for another to make it four goals in his last five matches. This time it took all of two minutes.
- Another first for Hull as George Boateng nets his first for the Tigers off an absolute rocket from outside the box.
- Wayne Rooney continues his top form with a goal in the 40th versus Portsmouth. Let’s just hope that Rooney is using up all his 2010 goals in the Premiership and will be on “E” by the time the World Cup rolls around.

Altidore is doing damage early

That was a Drogba Jr. move right there….Big Jeezy…

For a minute I thought they were going to draw lots to see who would strike the free.

Everton had no creativity, but what a rough game, Steve Nichols said thats the roughest game he has seen in 10 years.
fsc broadcast suck, i want HD..but JZA got the nod on the starting 11, and just won a free kick
Posted by Mark T on 2010/02/06 at 8:07 AM
Has Altidore started taking free kicks for Hull? I don’t recall any in the games I watched.
(Maybe the team is pushing to get in him on the score sheet today.)
Posted by Ryan on 2010/02/06 at 8:08 AM
first i have seen of that as well
Posted by matthewsf on 2010/02/06 at 12:32 PM
His lone goal with Hull…Carling Cup I believe was on a free kick…I’ve seen him take maybe 1 every 2 games but only when he’s earned the foul.

I hope anyone questioning whether Alitdore has benefited from going to the EPL has watched the first 12 minutes of this match.
Posted by Charles on 2010/02/06 at 8:21 AM
jozy used him, on the left there.

JOLAZO!

That is great!
Posted by Mark T on 2010/02/06 at 8:38 AM
I have to admit, after Jozy drew the second yellow on the City defense I started writing a piece about the end of the goal watch.
Posted by Ryan on 2010/02/06 at 8:31 AM
JOOOOOOZZZZZYYYYY!!!!
Posted by Charles on 2010/02/06 at 8:31 AM
WOOT!
Posted by Charles on 2010/02/06 at 8:32 AM
Sweet layoff by JVH
Posted by Marc on 2010/02/06 at 8:34 AM
YESSS!!!! I have no idea what that trip to Haiti did to Altidore, but I’m glad he took it.
Posted by Charles on 2010/02/06 at 8:42 AM
McShane looks pretty active

Man City leading the league in scary ugly mugs!
Posted by Mark T on 2010/02/06 at 8:48 AM
Looked like Wayne Bridge thought the ball was Terry’s head…he crushed that one.

Didn’t manage to wake up for the Liverpool Derby but watching the Battle of 2 Cities. Sounds like I didn’t miss much that wouldn’t have pissed me off. As for Jozy, he’s getting the hang of this “Premier League” thing. I love the Cruyff turn. If GeorgeCross is out there somewhere, THAT’s the move that Drogba was constantly attempting without success in his early Chelsea days.
2 feet of snow so far here in DC, hopefully the power will stay on for the second half, in which Jozy bags a second.

I’m finally here, after drinking since 10:45 am.
I saw Jozy’s goal. Great approach play, nice holiding up and beautiful lay-off. Altidore’s finish was perfect – low, hard and placed in the corner, Given had no chance.
Posted by Charles on 2010/02/06 at 9:00 AM
Has anyone heard if Jozy found out if his family was alright?
Posted by Marc on 2010/02/06 at 9:16 AM
I’m pretty sure it came out that they were fine. Took a few days obviously to find and get in contact with them, but good news over-all.
Posted by Charles on 2010/02/06 at 9:28 AM
I’m glad for Jozy. It must have been horrible, the not knowing.
Posted by Evan on 2010/02/06 at 9:05 AM
Hull City fans chanting Altidore’s name. After he drew the 2nd yellow, there was a USA! chant
Posted by Free Beer Movement on 2010/02/06 at 9:09 AM
America! Fuck yeah!
Posted by Evan on 2010/02/06 at 9:20 AM
Lick my but and suck on my balls!

LOLZ
Posted by Ryan on 2010/02/06 at 9:15 AM
What a strike from Boetang!
Posted by Ryan on 2010/02/06 at 9:26 AM
Altidore removed for Zaki. 64th minute. good job today JZA
Posted by Charles on 2010/02/06 at 9:29 AM
True dat Ryan. with Altidore out, this is a good time to give way and seek sustenance. Cheers gentlemen, and good day.
Posted by Mark T on 2010/02/06 at 11:15 AM
Nice save by Big Bird (Friedel) late in the first half.
Posted by KMac on 2010/02/06 at 1:36 PM
Well done Shinguardians – you called Jozy’s cherry poppin clinical finish last night. I love the site, and am very glad you are right on in your prognostication. OK, back to snowed in on the east coast, football, and Stella Artois! GO USA!
