hull city is going down because phil brown decided to concentrate more on picking fights with arsenal and the media rather than concentrating on his job. He is a huge attention whore and i for one hope he stays in the fizzypop league or even lower leagues for years to come

Paul, do you still believe it’s “Time To Stop Underestimating Hull City”?

(To which I replied “To be honest, I’d say it was time to stop *over-estimating* Hull,” which upset a few people )

Well said Lambrettaman. If only Dean Windass hadn’t spit his dummy out in January, I’m confident that he would have played several more hours of Premiership football for the Tigers and we would have a least three more points in the bag and be almost home and dry!

“Playing a brand of swashbuckling football that saw them come up against more illustrious opponents and bloody their noses, they are now reduced to reverting to type. Thumping it forward and playing for set pieces, desperately clinging to the long ball game and getting nothing for it.”

Obviously written by someone who didn’t watch our game against Liverpool last Saturday, in which that swashbuckling football was evident for all to see, in what was, our best home performance of the entire season. Our performance the week before, away against Sunderland was also pretty good, the only issue was the fact that we couldn’t find the back of the net.

The Man City team talk is put up as a reason for our drop in results, but it’s complete rubbish. We put in a good performance in the following game against Villa and a great performance away at Chelsea a few weeks later, knocking Newcastle, Millwall and Sheffield United out the FA Cup to get to the quarter final, along the way.

Our drop in results is due almost entirely to mistakes made in the January transfer window, though personally, I don’t see the signing of Bullard as one of them. We let two strikers leave the club and brought in only one replacement, a replacement with no Premier League experience. The club were banking on getting special dispensation from the FA, to allow Fraizer Campbell to be released from his loan at Spurs, returned to Man United, so he could be loaned back to us. At the last minute, the FA decided against granting the permission and as a result we ended up with Manucho instead.

If we play the last four games, in the same manner as we’ve player the last two, with the added benefit of the return of Daniel Cousin up front, then we should stay up. In fact, we should win a couple !

If only Phil Brown weren’t such a nut case… Hull looked amazing early on but slowed as teams figured out how to play them and brown’s antics helped to further distract the team instead of bring it together. Hull only have themselves to blame for losing Bullard who would help definitely kept them from relegation but he should have been the piece to cement a finish in the top half of the table.

To me the blame has got to be placed on Brown and his many public incidents. Halftime on the lawn, C~ntmunching at Newcastle”s 2nd and Kinnear, the FA cup rant, and his new job as arsenal’s fashion police. He needed to lay low and unite his team in the locker room instead of forcing them to answer questions about their crazy manager.

And to think Hull was everyone’s including my second team to pull for in the league.
