I think this was not only the biggest upset of the weekend, but of the whole campaign. Hull have shown that they are the surprise package of the three teams coming up. Arsenal was again at it's hit and miss best with Adebayor, Walcott and Van Persie missing chances galore. Hull to their credit kept on mounting counter attacks whenever possible. Despite going a goal behind to the pace of Walcott, the two goals conjured by Hull were world class. So these are the cost of inexperience as I do not see a Man U or Chelsea go down to Hull after going ahead.
Cheers!

yes but i think hull will not be able to sustain this kind of form when they reach the mid campaign. If star players like geovanni gets injured, hull city may be shaken greatly.
Yup, the goals are world class, probably geovanni's. Well struck with great accuracy and swerve, no chances left for alumnia.

Teams like Hull City cannot really cope with injuries. But till then they are reeling out points very well. Currently they are already onto 11 points and out that 3 are against a top opposition away from home. So that way they are well on their way to securing safety for this season.
Cheers!

yes, this is the biggest upset of the season so far, arsenal dint played the game arsenal way. there defence,midfield,attack nothing looked good. this was most lackluster performance than i have seen from arsenal for a long time. they looked good only for the last 15 minutes. they look very good in one match, the next week they come up with lack luster performance, this has been problem for arsenal for long time. wenger fielded 4 strikers in the second half(adebayor,van persi,bender,vela) but he failed to get draw from the match. there were really unlucky as more than 10 shots missed the bar by inches and more than 4 struck the cross bar,but credit has to given to hull city. the other upset of the weekend was middlesbrough lost to west brom in home(0-1).

Yes, this was very big upset indeed. I myself am a Arsenal supporter, and I'm very disappointed that they did not get something out of the match, especially in the last 10 minutes or so. But you have to give credit to Hull, who played extremely well, and to beat Arsenal at the Emirates is something special.

Well EPL is known for the big surprises that usually occur during the season... lets just say Arsenal was the first "victim" of this rule... So far its another good championship and for me that I'm not a big fanatic of an Premier League team (I just like Manchester United) but a big fanatic of EPL is nice to see matches like this... I surely miss this in Greece in which most of the matches are won by the big teams...

I was really anticipating for the Arsenal match than of Manu or Chelsea yesterday cos i really like the way Gunners play...i was hoping for them to continue as they did against Sheffield United the other day, but to the contrary Hull City shows a phenomenal efforts ,tenaciously stopping the Gunners from any attack & finally they score two magnificent goals in which the first goal (against Arsenal) may be the goal of the week. Ya of course they are unlucky & must be very sad to lost 3 pts at home in front of home fans. But i would like to congratulate to the hull City for their tremendous effort & spirit they've shown.
