PHOTO SPECIAL – Leeds United 0-0 Hull City


Saturday 23rd December 2006

The Tigers travelled to Elland Road for a Yorkshire derby with the threat of relegation hanging over both sides. Despite having the better of the game, the Tigers were held by the White Shite for a point that kept both sides in the bottom three.

Moments from kick off, the lads psyche themselves up for battle…


…watched by caretaker boss Phil Brown, who wants the job full time.


Impressive against Cardiff, Stephen McPhee starts again…


…and causes problems for Ugo Ehiogu, who wears gloves. The heem.


In the absence of Ian Ashbee, Danny Coles wears the captain’s armband.


City impress in the first half, here Bridges causes bother in Leeds’ box.


The impish Craig Fagan is a constant nuisance for the White Shite.


The boyish Jonathan Howson can’t stop Sam Ricketts clearing the ball.


At the back our defence is resolute, here Michael Turner foils Westlake.


Cheating bast Tresor Kandol thinks Turner’s head is a bowling ball.


In the 2nd half, Ryan France executes a perfect slide tackle to stop Lewis.


Ex Leeds man Michael Bridges was applauded by both sets of fans.


Despite his boyish charms, Howson can’t find a way past Andy Dawson.


Sam Rickett’s causes Ian Westlake pain. Excellent.


Outraged at further Kandol cheatery, Delaney is filled with righteous zeal…


…and is unperturbed by the Barnet loanee’s freakish bulging eye.


Leeds boss and renowned shortarse Dennis Wise admits Kandol is a meff.


Fagan’s performance and mockery of Warner makes him our MOTM.


‘Brownie’ reflects on the result, which gives the chairman plenty to ponder.

REPORT: City 4-1 Cardiff


Two text messages arrived on my phone prior to this match. One was from Amber Nectar’s own pet Trevittite absentee Bunkers Hill, who claimed from his Brixton ghetto that: “The Great Escape (Part 2) starts today.”

The second came from a friend who is a Stockport fan, who merely claimed she was “laughing very loudly” at the prospect of Gary Megson, ex-boss of Stockport, becoming our gaffer.

Later, she sent another, having heard the scoreline of our game. “See what the threat of Megson does? My case is rested.”

Stockport fans clearly have reason to dislike Gary Megson, the belligerent manager who also made his mark on West Bromwich Albion (two promotions, numerous fallouts) and Nottingham Forest (just numerous fallouts). And yet the word was that whatever happened in this latest escapade under the caretaker stewardship of Phil Brown, the ginger gum-gnawer would be unveiled after the weekend’s activities had died down.

But did our chairman bank on a 4-1 win?

Did he bank on seeing a classy, vibrant, personality-driven performance from eleven players whose desire seemed to have come flooding back by the poolful now that Phil Parkinson has gone back to his family in Essex?

Did he bank on a 23,000 crowd – many of whom came via the five quid factor – making it clear that they’d love their club to be known for football and style such as that served up against Cardiff?

Maybe he didn’t. He is thinking hard over his Sunday papers as I type this. I’m sure of that.The decision is made? Maybe it’s since been re-made.

NEWS: Parkinson leaves Tigers


Phil Parkinson is no longer the Hull City manager.

A statement on the club’s official website from chairman Adam Pearson confirmed that he is to leave, with further details to be announced.

Colin Murphy and Phil Brown will take charge of team affairs while a permanent replacement is sought.

An air of inevitability had crept in following the Tigers’ disastrous results against Colchester and Southampton, and Parkinson leaves with City five points adrift of safety near the foot of the Championship.

More to come…
