Hull City
Today's Talking Points
-
1Hull City are unbeaten after their first three Premier League games back in the top flight — wins over Manchester United and Coventry, plus a goalless draw at Aston Villa. They haven't conceded a single goal yet either, which for a newly promoted side is a genuinely remarkable start.
-
2Beating Manchester United in their first few weeks back among the elite is the kind of result Hull fans will be telling people about for years. It doesn't matter how the rest of the season goes — that one's banked.
-
3Most promoted clubs take a few months to stop looking overawed by the step up. Hull look like they've done their homework instead, playing with a level of composure that's caught a lot of people off guard.
-
4No promoted side keeps a zero in the goals-conceded column all season, so this record won't last forever. Enjoy it while it's there rather than assuming it's the new normal — Hull fans certainly are.
-
5This is a club and fanbase that deserve nothing but warmth right now — a hard-earned promotion followed by the best possible start to life back in the top flight. Don't be the person who immediately points out it can't last.

Top thing to say down the pub
Hull haven't conceded a single goal all season — say that to a Hull fan and watch them light up.

Avoid saying
"Enjoy it while it lasts" — technically true, but say it to a Hull fan three games into their best top-flight start in years and you'll come across as the person who can't just let people enjoy a good thing.
