After all of the good things that were said about Hull City in the first half of the season and all of the times that we laughed at Newcastle’s misfortunes, at long last the Magpies are proving me right. Before the season began I predicted Hull for the drop, and that prediction seemed absolutely ridiculous until January rolled around. Finally, the Tigers find themselves in the bottom three.

The flip side to this story, of course, is that Newcastle has finally been revived. I’ve said all along that with a squad like…

Every season Premier League fans are treated to some delightful surprises, and this season has been no different. We’ve seen Martin O’Neill develop an exciting crop of English youngsters, a few Manchester United teenagers make a splash, Liverpool finally put things together, and Alan Shearer finally made a return to the beautiful game.

One thing that I will always remember the 2008/09 season for, though, is the rollercoaster ride that Hull City has gone through. Once seated at the top of the table ahead of the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United,…

Let me preface this article by saying that as an English Premier League fan I’ve been extremely ecstatic about Hull’s form this season. As newcomers to the world’s greatest league, not much was expected out of Phil Brown’s inexpensive squad. In fact, many members of the media - myself included - had written them off as a definite relegation side. Since then, though, the Tigers have gone from strength to strength. Until now.

In their last six matches Hull have picked up a mere two points. Two points out of eighteen! This…

With this month’s transfer window full of lots of talk and little action, Phil Brown and Hull have quietly been going about their business.

The Tigers now sit just six points above the relegation zone.

To combat this, former Fulham and Wigan midfielder Jimmy Bullard has been brought to the KC Stadium in a bargain £5 million deal. Bullard is a beloved figure amongst…

When Manchester United signed Angolan striker Manucho last year, everyone was confused, anxious, and excited. Rumors were floating around saying that Manucho is a carbon copy of Didier Drogba, that he’d be the 4th striker Sir Alex Ferguson has been dreaming of, and that he would go down in United folklore.

Unfortunately for him and for United, none of this happened. Despite Manucho’s impressive showings for Angola at the African Cup of Nations last year, the striker never really got going at Old Trafford. Three substitute appearances later, Manucho has agreed to…

Following Hull City’s 3-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea the other night, Brazilian star Geovanni has managed to walk away from the game with a big confidence boost, having impressed fellow countryman Luiz Felipe Scolari.

Scolari was full of praise for the new fans favorite at the KC Stadium, and admired what the 28 year old has contributed to his side’s amazing start to life in the Premier League. With 4 goals already to his name, rumors have circulated regarding a possible recall into the prestigious national side for Geovanni, but…
