That was my worst fear realised. Disaster for David

According to some Hull messageboards DM is in the Hull squad tomorrow.

**DannyInvincible** · 29/12/2012, 11:14 AM

He's definitely still at Hull. He starts for them against Leeds today.

**harry crumb** · 29/12/2012, 12:48 PM

And scores....again.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 29/12/2012, 1:08 PM

From a Brady corner too.

thats great they let him stay. Was watching the last 4 or 5 football league shows this morning and meyler really involved loads in hull highlights either scoring or having shots saved seems to be playing in advanced role. In the same shows garvan also hugely involved making chances and havin shots for crystal palace

**DannyInvincible** · 29/12/2012, 4:39 PM

Meyler's goal is at 0:22:

**Crosby87** · 29/12/2012, 4:44 PM

Is "Goal" and Allah the same word?

**tricky_colour** · 29/12/2012, 5:49 PM

It would be somewhat amusing if Sunderland got relegated and Meyler and got promoted!!

No they are different words, goal is هدف and God is الله

No idea if they sounds the same but Arabs do tend to say God a lot.
Actually their word for goal is, in English "hadaf".
I think he says hadaf at about 20 seconds.

Note Robbie Brady is wearing green boots!!
Very good corner and header.
Is there a better striker of a dead ball then Brady?

**harry crumb** · 29/12/2012, 10:19 PM

Any idea how he is doing in general play?

We only see goal updates on player threads it seems.

**tricky_colour** · 29/12/2012, 11:24 PM

Here is a player index for the Championship, he's not on it and neither is Brady but they have only played about 10 games each I think.

A number of Irish in there including Andy Reid at no 19.

Meyler looks like he could turn into a very good attacking midfielder judging by the FL Show highlights. Could have had 1 or 2 more today. He really has a bit about him anyway.

Agree, he certainly seemed to be in a rampaging mood against Leeds today anyways - great to see, seems a good egg too.

Yeah, he did look to have had a very good game today. Everything good his side did seemed to have him centrally involved.

I've been monitoring Hull City's forums since he went on loan. not606 seems to be the best one. Judging from what they have been posting, he was poor at the start but gradually has improved with every game. Understandable after not having played regular 1st team football in so long. In terms of passing ability, they say he is average enough. But he is excellent at breaking up the play and makes great runs into the box which evidently has resulted in a number of goals. His shooting has impressed me from what I have seen of him. Yesterday's game was his best thus far which is great to see. I reckon he will be going back to Sunderland this week though (for real!). Colback and Larsson got steamrolled yesterday in midfield. At the moment, Sunderland don't really have a midfield and a number of posters on Sunderland forums yesterday were calling for Meyler to be brought back to shore up the midfield in Cattermole's absence. All in all, very promising.

11 Irish in the top 100. Meyler looks a decent player and I'd say Bruce could try and sign him in the summer especially if Hull go up. He's big, strong, athletic and can put in a tackle which is one thing we are missing from our midfield.

**tetsujin1979** · 01/01/2013, 2:50 PM

rumours going around that Bruce is trying to sign him permanently in January

More on the prospect of David Meyler joining Hull City and the local press is reporting that Tigers boss Steve Bruce has agreed a fee with Sunderland for the defender. More on this shortly...
