2206: As the great Andrea Bocelli would have it, it's time to say goodbye. Thanks for getting stuck in, I know it wasn't the most appetising night of football ever. See you tomorrow when the Champions League returns.
Fulham's Bobby Zamora: "Yeah, definitely a deserved three points and our hard work paid off tonight. Damien's shot for the first goal was brilliant and luckily I was in the right place at the right time and managed to head it in."
From Ted in Oxford, via text on 81111: "Love the glory hunting! Three hundred predictions and no mention of abject failure. One right and it's update city... Great job though."
BBC Radio 5 live's Martin Keown: "Really good performance from Fulham, looks like their season is back on track after that. As for Hull, I don't know where they go now."
2153: Full-time Fulham 2-0 Hull City Fulham move up to 12th in the Premier League with that well deserved victory, and Hull remain in the bottom three after an abject performance. The only bright spot for Phil Brown's side was the return of Jimmy Bullard. That apart, it's all bad news.
2152: The ball is almost exclusively in the Hull half and this one's all over. Few seconds left and Fulham can start properly celebrating their 130th birthday.
2149: We are into four minutes of stoppage time now and suddenly it's gone all lively on us, Bobby Zamora running at the Hull defence and whacking in a low right-foot shot that Boaz Mhyill pushes away from goal (and into the danger zone again, if you want to be harsh).
2148: Jozy Altidore uses his physical presence to hold off Aaron Hughes inside the Fulham area and he hooks a right-foot shot just past the angle of post and crossbar, via a deflection.
From benjaminrees at Twitter: "Your predictions can't be right, it would probably destroy the fabric of the universe (or something similarly disastrous)."
2145: Diomansy Kamara is replaced after his first league goal of the season for Fulham, Norwegian Erik Nevland coming on in his place.
2144: Incidentally, the Premier League attendance tonight was 22,943, the League One crowd 19,912.
2142: Hull have brought Bernard Mendy on for Jan Venegoor of Hesselink, while Damien Duff gets a standing ovation as he is taken off and replaced by Zoltan Gera for the hosts.
2140: So, Leeds are back on top of League One, and we've got eight minutes left plus injury time at Craven Cottage. Anyone seen the predos at 1930 recently?
2139: Full-time Leeds 2-1 Norwich
Leeds goal: That is a personal disaster for Norwich goalie Fraser Forster, who can only stand with his hands on his head in disbelief. He scuffs his goalkick straight to Jermaine Beckford 40 yards out and he races through, keeping his cool to slot past the Canaries keeper. Norwich boss Paul Lambert is equally devastated.
2136: GOAL Leeds 2-1 Norwich
2135: Diomansy Kamara twists and turns inside the Hull box and clips a shot wide from 10 yards when it seemed he must score, before Paul McShane whips a devilish ball in at the other end and Aaron Hughes gets up to nod away from danger.
2134: Jimmy Bullard wants to take a free-kick 30 yards out and after negotiations with Geovanni, he smacks it into the wall. Thanks to Fb2 and Nic in Gillingham for explaining why Bullard is being booed - apparently because he threatened to go on strike over contract discussions. Oh.
2130: Four minutes left plus stoppages at Elland Road. Threatened to be a cracker, but hasn't quite caught fire. Leeds have the ball in the Norwich net, but it's ruled out for a prior foul. Still 1-1.
From Mike in Oxford, via text on 81111: "You really don't get yourself in the England squad as a Hull sub. Do you?" If he can't get in this team when fully fit, it's time to retire.
2127: Hull take off Stephen Hunt, who faded fast after a decent opening, with young US striker Jozy Altidore coming on for the Tigers.
2125: Nearly 3-0 as Bobby Zamora tees up Clint Dempsey and the American drags his shot wide. Long, long road back now for Hull.
Fulham goal: Hull won't be happy - and it's a linesman's flag that is upsetting them again. Bobby Zamora fastens on to a ball over the top down the right and crosses for Diomansy Kamara to nick in his first league goal of the season at the far post. Hull think Kamara should have been flagged from the first pass.
2122: GOAL Fulham 2-0 Hull City
2122: About a quarter of an hour left at Elland Road in League One, where it's still Leeds 1-1 Norwich. At Fulham, the pantomime boos for Jimmy Bullard continue unabated.
2120: Re: Derbtastic's Twitter comment at half-time - apparently it was Barnsley, not Birmingham. So there.
2118: I'm not joking - Hull are already a better team with Jimmy Bullard on the pitch. Anyone else fancy him as an outside bet for the World Cup squad?! Danny Murphy limps off for Fulham, Jonathan Greening coming on.
2117: Jimmy Bullard's arrival on the pitch is greeted by a chorus of boos as he comes on for the non-existent Kamel Gilas. The former Fulham man is promptly barged to the ground by Diomansy Kamara, who is amazingly not even booked. Pathetic all round.
2115: Danny Murphy gets a knock and needs some treatment - meanwhile, Jimmy Bullard is getting his kit on on the Hull City bench.
2112: Decent chance that for Hull as a ball from the right evades the Fulham defence and dribbles out to the far side of the 18-yard box, where Stephen Hunt neatly steps inside before blazing a woeful shot miles and miles over the crossbar. How long until Jimmy Bullard o'clock?
From Paul, Leicester, via text on 81111: "It's sometimes difficult to watch Hull City - by far the most negative Premier League football team ever."
2107: Fulham are looking for the in-form Damien Duff at every opportunity and he sends over another dangerous-looking cross from the right which eventually drifts out of play at the far post.
2104: Not sure I agree with Socks, below - I reckon Bobby Zamora was dead level. They're under way again, and it's still Leeds 1-1 Norwich, though the visitors are having the best of it at the moment.
Hull boss Phil Brown: "We got into the lads about the first pass, taking the right option. As for their goal, I don't think we'll complain that it was offside, it was pretty close and the striker's always got the advantage."
From Socks, via text on 81111: "Questions for Myhill? More like the five defenders... and the linesman - I've seen Man Utd get called offside from that and that's saying something."
From Derbtastic at Twitter: "(See 2032) The even switch almost happened in 1998, when Bolton, Brum and Palace all went straight back down for Forest and Boro. Sunderland ruined it."
From Frodo_MUFC on 606: "(See Fulham goal) To be fair, parrying it to Zamora in the box is often fairly safe."
2050: They are back under way at Elland Road, with Leeds and Norwich level at 1-1.
2048: Half-time Fulham 1-0 Hull City Quite frankly they deserve to be going in behind, Hull - poor doesn't even begin to describe that 45-minute performance. Fulham weren't exactly brilliant, but they haven't had to be.
Fulham goal: That's what the game needed, though obviously not if you're a Hull fan. Bobby Zamora heads a long pass back to Damien Duff 25 yards out, he lashes in a left-foot shot that forces another low save from Boaz Myhill and from the rebound, Bobby Zamora does well to head it into the empty net. Questions must be asked of Myhill there - you've got to parry it away from danger.
2045: GOAL Fulham 1-0 Hull City
2043: Paul Konchesky curls over a corner from the Fulham left and Bobby Zamora glances it across the six-yard box, but it goes out of play with no home players managing to get another touch.
2042: I'm being urged in some quarters to talk about the game I attended on Saturday - Nottingham Forest's magnificent 1-0 victory over Newcastle United in front of a full house and a cracking atmosphere at the City Ground, the most fun I've had at a Reds game for what seems like years and years. But I'm not going to, because it's not relevant.
2039: Referee Andre Marriner levels things up by cautioning Paul Konchesky for a trip on Kamel Gilas, who has had absolutely no impact on this game whatsoever.
2038: Andy Dawson is the first man into the book for pulling the shirt of Damien Duff as he turned away from the left-back. Duff is the game's stand-out player by a country mile right now.
2035: Hold on to your hats - we've had a real shot on target. Damien Duff collects the ball on the edge of the Hull box, manufactures a yard or two of space and hammers in a low left-foot shot that Boaz Myhill gets down superbly to push away from the bottom corner.
2034: Half-time Leeds 1-1 Norwich
2032: We are half an hour in at Craven Cottage and it's not the best advert you'll ever see for the Premier League. Wish that steward (2002) would chuck a beach ball or two on.
From Matt, via text on 81111: "I wonder what odds you would get on Birmingham, Wolves and Burnley all going straight back down and West Brom, Newcastle and Boro all coming straight back up? Has that ever happened before?" I'd guess no, no way. Anyone?
2026: Fabulous chance for Fulham as Diomansy Kamara whips over a 'finish me off, son' inswinging cross from the left and Bobby Zamora on the stretch can only divert the ball over the Hull bar from six yards.
Norwich goal: We're back on level terms now as Norwich are camped around the Leeds box, Simon Lappin swings over a cross and Grant Holt slides in at the far post to prod home.
2024: GOAL Leeds 1-1 Norwich
2024: It's still Leeds 1-0 Norwich in League One and the Canaries are putting a little bit of pressure on their hosts at the moment. Bradley Johnson's header still separates the sides.
From Sam, via text on 81111: "Pompey, Hull and Wolves to go down. Burnley have Stoke-esque home form. They beat us, Man U, for goodness sake!"
2021: Moments after Danny Murphy completely wastes one chance to plough the ball into the Hull box from a set-piece, Damien Duff launches one in the mixer and it falls to Murphy on the edge of the box, but his shot is blocked by Dean Marney.
2018: Fair play to Geovanni for trying to liven up proceedings, the ambitious Brazilian lashing in a 45-yarder that flies a couple of yards over Mark Schwarzer's crossbar.
2017: PompeyCanuck, below, I reckon Wolves and Birmingham myself. But then I love Paul Hart and am refusing to acknowledge that your boys are in any trouble. Meanwhile it's a bit quiet at Fulham, with Hull having a livelier spell right now.
2013: Danger expertly averted by John Pantsil in the Fulham box as Jan Venegoor of Hesselink flicked on a free-kick, the defender getting up acrobatically to overhead kick the ball away.
BBC Radio 5 live's Martin Keown: "I like the shape of the Fulham team, especially with Diomansy Kamara looking lively up front. At the moment Hull are just going backwards, I'd like to see a bit more from them."
2010: Quiet tonight, isn't it? At the risk of creating some debate, do people think Hull are going down this season? I do.
2007: Better from Fulham now as Hull give the ball away cheaply a couple of times in their own half, but Danny Murphy's shot is blocked and then he commits a foul as the Tigers survive.
2004: Good start from Hull who look lively, Stephen Hunt making good tracks down the left but eventually Paul McShane's cross from the right is cleared by Aaron Hughes.
Leeds goal: The hosts get their noses in front at Elland Road as Robert Snodgrass flights over a corner from the right and Bradley Johnson rises high at the back post to head into the ground and into the net.
2002: GOAL Leeds 1-0 Norwich
2002: Yep, we're under way, but not before a steward gets rid of a couple of beach balls that were bouncing around in the away end. Haha.
1957: The teams are out at Craven Cottage, with the Fulham boys collectively wearing tracksuit tops. It looks cold.
1955: I don't think Hull fans would complain if I said their team were absolutely rubbish away from home. One win outside the KC Stadium in 2009 tells its own story, that coming at Fulham in March as Manucho struck in stoppage time to earn a 1-0 win. The Tigers have also conceded 10 goals in their last two away Premier League matches.
Hull boss Phil Brown: "The win against Wigan takes a bit of pressure off, I've got great support from the man in charge of this club. Jimmy Bullard is very, very close to starting, we just felt it was a little bit risky tonight. He's a great character, he's not stopped trying to instil confidence in the other players."
1950: Fulham's Simon Davies has not recovered from his ankle injury and Kagisho Dikagcoi is banned, but Damien Duff returns to the starting line-up with Diomansy Kamara and Bobby Zamora up front. As for Hull, Jimmy Bullard is on the bench and will be gagging to face his former club after injuring himself 37 minutes into his Tigers debut back in January. USA striker Jozy Altidore is also a sub with boss Phil Brown hoping the firepower of Geovanni and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink can bag some goals.
1947: They are under way at Elland Road as Leeds take on Norwich towards the summit of League One. Will keep you all sorts of posted. By the way (1940) - it was of course Fulham who triumphed in 1996, not Hull. In those days, I used to watch Premier League football. Sorry.
From Yeltzy at Twitter: "Ref tonight has got Liverpool v Man Utd next weekend, let's see how he refs tonight."
1940: Goalflashes to come from Elland Road for the 1945 BST start, but forgive me for concentrating on events at the Cottage. Continuing the anniversary theme and 13 years ago to this day Hull and Fulham met in what was effectively a fourth division match at Boothferry Park, with the Cottagers triumphing 3-0. Household names Darren Freeman, Paul Watson and Mike Conroy notched the goals on that occasion.
1936: This is the first time Leeds and Norwich have ever met in the third tier of English football. The last time they met it was in the Championship, as Darren Huckerby struck a late winner against his old club in the season they got relegated. Nowadays, things are looking up - Leeds can go back to the top if they win, while an away victory would lift the Canaries up to fifth.
From onithor on 606: "Stevo, can you take me back to 1997? I have some unfinished business with that year." Am I the only one who thinks that sounds a bit sinister?
From James, wrapped up warm on his way to the Cottage, via text on 81111: "The first real 'winter' game for Fulham and you can tell by the amount of fans with scarves."
1917: Hull like to gatecrash a good party, or at least they did a year ago as they managed to accrue (just) enough points to survive. In fact, exactly a year ago today, Phil Brown's boys were seeing off West Ham at the KC Stadium as Michael Turner's goal lifted them to a dizzying third in the top flight. Must feel like half a world away.
1915: So, Fulham and Hull. The Cottagers are in party mood as they celebrate their 130th anniversary, but unless they get the three points, there won't be anything to celebrate on the banks of the River Thames. They might just have one eye on Thursday's Europa League tie, too, as they welcome Claudio Ranieri, Francesco Totti (perhaps) and AS Roma to west London.
1911: Don't you dare feel this has to be the sole preserve of Fulham and Hull fans - whatever you guys and girls want to talk about, get yourselves in the live text mixer. Get texting those thoughts to 81111,join the debate on 606 and whatever you do, don't forget that I'm on Twitter these days, too. If I made it any easier I'd be penning these witty comments for you. Perish the thought...
1907: If you scroll down towards the lower reaches of today's Premier League table, you'll eventually get to tonight's two teams. Fulham in 16th host Hull in 18th, separated only on goal difference - though the Cottagers do have a game in hand. It's one they will both be desperate to win.
1905: It's shaping up to be a brilliant season, isn't it? An unpredictable top four for the first time in what feels like an eternity, another cracking relegation scrap in prospect, and a World Cup waiting for us at the end of it. Bless these days.
1900: Close your eyes for a moment (after you've read this), and allow me to transport you back in time fully 15 of your footballing seasons ago. Cast your mind back to the Premier League, where Leeds United were finishing fifth and Norwich City mid-table 12th in the 22-team division. Now let's journey way, way down the pyramid, two divisions to be precise - and what have we here? Hull City lying in no-man's land at ninth, and Fulham suffering the ignominy of relegation to English football's basement division. How times change.
