I predict a riot...


Oh wait, that could be another British band with football connections. Never mind, the point is this is one of those cool uncanny coincidences that gets the mind a marveling.

Hull City football side got moved up to the English Premier division this season and are doing fairly well. They are sitting at the business end of the log so far after victories against big names like Arsenal, Fulham, Tottenham.

Housemartins: Because we knew Backstreet Boys would be taken.

Here is the trivia: In the 1980s an English indie pop rock band the Housemartins, who hail from Hull City released their first album in 1986 entitled
London 0, Hull 4.

Predicting a further hit...number 17!

As you do the math you will realise that Arsenal, Fulham and Tottenham are all London based football clubs. London 0, Hull 3. And today, Hull match up against Westham United. Another London side. I predict a riot?

Addendum: Former Housemartins member Norman Cook, left the band and became the world famous Fatboy slim.

Trivia: Rockstar 1, Rockstar readers 0.
