Great stuff as always.

hull are after alvaro negredo from real. this could be mean tighter comp for jozy. though as a real fan, i can't say that negredo has been too impressive the times i've seen him. esp lately vs. tfc and dcunited.
Lineup is out:
-----Ching---Davies-----
Donovan----------Dempsey
-----Clark---Bradley----
Bocanegra-----------Dolo
-----Gooch----DeMerit---
---------Howard---------
I expect LOADS of long balls to Ching and an ugly loss. I just don't like this lineup at all.
