Good interview with Liam George regarding Curtis Davis and his very own eligibility gut test.
Why the FAI could be wasting their time chasing Curtis Davis
looks like a black Peter Beardsley

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
I picked up some tickets for Wembley tomorrow. Unfortunately it looks like only Meyler will be starting with Quinn on the bench. Long is cup-tied, McShane and Brady injured. Any chance Henderson will be on the bench?
Who do Sheffield United have? Doyle only?
I can't believe it's 21 years since I was excited by Alan Kelly's form in an FA Cup semi final.

The lowdown on Hull's Irish from the natives.
Henderson will not be involved as he is picking up splinters at Stevenage. McShane and Brady are injured (the latter could be involved in the final). Quinn should at least get involvement off the bench. Meyler should start and will start if Huddlestone isn't fit.
Utd have Doyle captaining them into battle while young Connor Dimaio started their preceding game.
One positive to take away from Arsenal inevitably finishing fourth is that Hull's Irish contingent will get European football next season.
I know the Arsenal fixtures look more kind but it's far from inevitable. Everton have the form... Arsenal have recently drawn against Swansea and Wigan so there's no such thing as a guaranteed three points for them at this stage, including their game tonight.
Yeah, did the world of good for Wigan and Swansea eh ? Last thing we need is a mass relegation, or even relegation battle for several members of our first eleven, which is, lets face it, the most likely by-product of a European campaign for a provincial yo-yo paper thin squad side like Hull.
Rovers haven't won the league since though
I'd expect that from geysir but not from you
Newcastle United.
Bolton. Birmingham. Middlesbrough.
Now now CD, lets hope Hull's Irish are nowhere near that pointless drain on under prepared resources.
I can't remember Everton having a run of much significance in it? Was that the season Villarreal knocked them out of the CL and they went out to Sporting Lisbon? I have no idea what round it was though.
My recollection of Stoke's Europa season was that their league form suffered fairly dramatically, to the point that they end up playing a weak side in the knockouts against Valencia such was their relegation fears? Again, I'd be hazy enough though.
Birmingham, like Wigan, were already relegated. It obviously affected Middlesbrough but they did get all the way to the final, which would affect any team as it did Fulham. Newcastle are just a flip of a coin, who knows what effect the EL had. Bolton pretty much did as expected.
No, it was about three years ago, Coleman and Duffy got their debuts in it. Stoke had a pretty average Stoke season; they brought a reserve side to Valencia because they were already 2-0 down from the home leg.
That was Valencia's pinnacle moment I think. I know they won Spanish titles and reached CL finals in the 2000's, they even won the UEFA Cup a few years earlier... but nothing quite says "we've arrived" like winning on a rainy night in Stoke.
Long playing OK so far.
Meyler cplaying OK too.not a box to box midfielder but has been involved from an attacking sense.
Long off. Injured supposedly.

McShane due back in training tomorrow; could be fit for final.

Good article on Meyler.
Great news on McShane but perhaps he'd be better off missing out and having a full summer to recover.
Meyler drops to the bench for Hull's second leg of Europa League qualification, with the score at 0-0 from the away leg. Brady and Long start, Quinn and McShane also on the bench.
