History/nerdy-type questions

I seriously can't remember the last time we won on a Monday night, full stop.

Monday 4th May, 2009: Villa 1 Hull 0 (also 52nd anniversary of us last winning the F.A. Cup, oh, and my 24th wedding anniversary!)

Liverpool in August 2009 was a monday night so that's a more recent one. Can't recall a recent one at VP but then don't think we've played that monday on a monday.

Ah, I was in France for that one, so that explains it. The Hull one, were they relegated by that result? I seem to remember some controversy surrounding it.

No that was the season Newcastle went down at VP.

The mad game was Hull away when a last minute penalty was correctly overruled.

Yeah, the 1-0 at Hull was a Gabby shot into the roof of the net I think.

They weren't relegated that year though and the game was in December.

Anyway, it is still possible we could relegate both Reading and QPR. It will happen if they draw with each other, Wigan lose and we avoid defeat against Mussoliniland.

If you want something historically nerdy.
We beat Sunderland 100 years ago this week 1-0.

I thought it was an own goal?

And then the lino gave a penalty when it hit the bar, Barry ran over and had a word, and the ref overruled it.

It was nearly a century after that until the next time the top two in the league met in the FA Cup Final.

It appears we've merged two games against Hull in this discussion.
