Here's a bit from an article from David Mitchell in't Observer to-day.

When Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari was sacked last week after the club drew 0-0 with Hull, it got so much publicity that even I heard about it. But has anyone taken a moment to consider the psychological impact this must have had on the Hull team? They didn't even beat Chelsea.

For Hull, this is a cutting insult. It's the equivalent of a woman's parents having her sectioned because she's agreed to go on a date with you. (If I had a penny...) It's too late for them to fire their own manager in retaliation - to pretend that, on the contrary, they are so horrified at not having won at Chelsea that all their players must be laid off and the club turned into a donkey sanctuary.

No, there's no hiding that Hull were pleased with the draw, that their expectations, if not their performance, are much lower than Chelsea's. And so Chelsea secure a psychological win and the fact that Hull played competently becomes a mere index of the larger club's decline.

that's a lot of words, I might read it later

All right, I agree, I've cut it a bit.
Even this bit doesn't seem as funny as it did when I read it this morning
