Was it Jay?

Neither

I had the original Hendo/Raheem/Lallana treble, then a 5-fold of those three, Shaw and Oxlade, then 4s from that 5.

Hull City: FA Council rejects proposed name change to Tigers

Hull City's proposed name change to Hull Tigers has been rejected by the Football Association Council.

The Council's decision - carried by a 63.5% vote of its members - followed the recommendation of the governing body's membership committee.
Fans' group City Till We Die said it was "delighted" with the decision.

Owner Assem Allam, 74, who took charge of the club in in December 2010, has threatened to sell if he is not allowed to change the 110-year-old name.
He believes a 'Tigers' brand would be more marketable, and says he considers the word City to be "lousy" and "common".

On Monday, City season card holders had narrowly voted in favour of the name-change plan.

But responding to the FA Council decision, City Till We Die said: "We are very pleased that the FA has recognised the importance of the historic name of Hull City AFC to the fans and the wider community of Hull.

"This is truly a victory for the fans."

Egypt-born businessman Allam, 74, announced in August that the name of the business that runs the club had been changed to Hull City Tigers.

In December, the club applied to the FA to change its playing name to Hull Tigers from next season.

Allam, who moved to Hull in 1968, is credited with rescuing the club from administration, with his son Ehab, City's vice-chairman, saying this month that his family had put £74m into the club.

Last season, Allam oversaw promotion to the top flight for only the second time in the club's history. They are currently 12th in the Premier League and will reach their first ever FA Cup final if they beat League One side Sheffield United on Sunday - their first semi-final since 1930.

The team's "Tigers" nickname is thought to have been coined by a Hull Daily Mail reporter in 1905, in reference to the club's black and amber kit.

Is the season starting late because of the world cup? That seems very late for the CL Final.

No, the dates for the qualifiers and group matches are similar to this season.

He was up in the stands at Oakwell and some fans were taking pictures of him. He got a big, burly guy to come over and demand that they are deleted. There is also that issue he had with a photographer, but I can't remember the details.

Nonsense and drivel, garbage and crap...

The fixture list is interminable. The travel is as fatiguing as the financial benefits are negligible. Winning the trophy would be meaningless

More dithering and garbled crap...

It's not like, starting next season, the EL winners automatically qualify for the CL. But then why would a professional sports journalist need to know such a trivial fact?

He's a complete cunt.

Refused to do post-match press conferences but was told he is contractually obliged to attend them. So he started holding the post-match press conferences before the match.

ITV News understands that a member of staff at Cardiff City has been sacked, and another is being investigated, over accusations that Cardiff's starting line-up was leaked to their opponents before last weekend's game against Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace have declined to comment on the accusations.

Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman has contacted league bosses over the issue.

The Premier League has told ITV News that it is looking into the situation, but it has no further comment at this time.

Contacted league bosses?!
