One Hull of a night for Zola's Hammers

I was at Upton Park the last time West Ham entertained Hull - West Ham running out 7-1 winners on that occasion.
I don't remember much about the game - but in those days i stood on the South Bank so we were probably doing the conga for most of the second half or singing 'Let's all form a circle' - a 'safe-for'work' version of a popular football chant of the time.
I was also at Upton Park last night and although the score was a much less resounding 2-0 i doubt the game was any less one-sided.
West Ham were awesome.
I don't say that lightly either.
They were far from perfect but they oozed passion and the passed like a West ham team of old.
My Dad said to me last night that he felt like the last two or three years the team has 'not really been like West Ham' and i know what he means.
I know we've got Arsenal and Man U up next so it's going to be a tough couple of weeks but let's just bask in the glory of some of last night's football.
Going forward, chasing back, tackling, neat passing - they gave everything.
Well done Zola and well done the boys.
Carlton Cole held the ball up like Drogba and worked three times as hard as the Chelsea man ever will.
Parker was immense.
And how about Savio - i make that £2million a step-over. Not a bad start!
