What John is referring to there is that Newcastle have gone 1-0 up at QPR - Emmanuel Riviere scoring his first league goal for the club.

As it stands, the Magpies are four points clear and safe.

"Hull can't worry about elsewhere, they have made a good start, they do not looked overawed, and they have taken the game to Spurs."

Harry Kane is caught in two minds here. Christian Eriksen jinks into the area and feeds the England striker, who flashes across goal with an effort that might be a cross to some, or a shot to others.

Nikica Jelavic is proving a handful. It's his first start since March, remember. He almost gets through but loses the ball under his feet a little.

Spurs go up the other end but Harry Kane can't take on Erik Lamela's pass into the left channel.

Georgeeee: Did Danny Rose lost a bet? What is going on with that red hair?!

Hugh in France: What's with the Spurs shirt? Where did that stripe come from? And why?

A few of you asking about the Spurs kit. It's got a big blue sash going across it. Apparently it is next season's, but they're wearing it today.

Also a few questions about Danny Rose's bright red hair. That one I have no answers for.

"The ball was always rising, it was a tight angle but it was more pressure from Hull. It's good and positive for them."

Jelavic again! Ahmed Elmohamady this time with the cross, and Jelavic is in pretty much the same position, but catches this one on the half-volley, crashing it off the top of the bar.

And now a chance for Hull City. Spurs fail to clear a long ball and Dame N'Doye clips the ball across. Nikica Jelavic has loads of space at the back post, but he has to generate power and in doing so balloons it over.

An intriguing rather than exhilarating opening 15 minutes at a sun-drenched White Hart Lane. Patient stuff from both sides on an absolute carpet of a pitch.

"Dier should have done better, he gets up early, makes a good contact and should have done a lot more with that chance."

And from that corner comes the best chance of the match.

It's Lamela who swings it in and Eric Dier flashes a near-post header wide.

Hairy moment for Hull's Robert Brady, who looked like he tweaked something while stretching. But he's back up and playing.

Erik Lamela, meanwhile, has space outside the area - his shot is deflected wide.

Hull do not look like a side staring down the barrel of relegation. It's all really nice and composed from the visitors, who are just caught offside.

"I like the look of Hull's shape, they are being brave and getting their wing-backs forward at every opportunity."

Ahmed Elmohamady is getting a bit of joy down the right. Shame his crossing doesn't match his marauding.

Harry Kane wins a corner for Spurs at the other end but Federico Fazio loops a header over from the edge of the area.

Dame N'Doye this time getting a shot away for Hull, but it clips a boot on the way through and is easy for Hugo Lloris.

Both sides are having a good probe at the moment - a promising start.

"What Hull don't want to do early is go gung-ho with the quality Spurs have with Lamela, Chadli and Eriksen behind Kane. They have to be cautious but when they do attack Spurs' goal they have to be positive."

And now Hull get some joy down the same flank, first with Ahmed Elmohamady, who is wasteful.

David Meyler has space on the edge of the area, before his shot is charged down.

Some pretty passing from Spurs in their own half, with Christian Eriksen at the centre.

Nacer Chadli almost gets Danny Rose in down the left, but it trickles out of play.
