So as I wait for tomorrow to arrive (Arsenal-Chelsea? Real Madird-Barcelona? Oh my!) I thought I'd share a couple of links with you guys to move your day along. Here we go...

Jimmy Bullard has a sit down with his teammates

After scoring a late equalizer for Hull during their match at Manchester City this morning, you wouldn't have thought that midfielder Jimmy Bullard would have felt the need to have a sit down meeting with his teammates.

But that's exactly what Bullard did, arranging his fellow Hull players in a circle and pointing to each of them in turn after slotting his penalty kick home.

Why, you ask? Well, Bullard was poking a little fun at his always tan, notoriously crazy manager Phil Brown. In his team's last game at Man City, Brown (who for some reason always wears a silly looking headset on the sideline) decided to berate his entire squad on the field (instead of the locker room...) at halftime.

The very-public team talk was widely pointed to as the start of Hull's tremendous decline last year. We'll have to wait and see what effect Bullard's speech has on the team....

Davies rehab going "fantastic"

U.S. National Team striker Charlie Davies - who suffered severe injuries in a fatal car crash on October 13th -- is said to be making 'fantastic' progress in his rehabilitation efforts.

Davies is being treated by head U.S. National Team trainer James Hashimoto in Delaware, where he has temporarily moved. Fellow U.S. National Team player Oguchi Onyewu, who is recovering from a knee injury, has joined Davies in rehab in Delaware.
