Wembley Bound

First off, plaudits to Watford for hanging tough over the course of two legs. As Aidy Boothroyd said, they were punching above their weight for a while, and in the end, Hull just had too much firepower. Cheers to our Yank (kinda) keeper Boaz Myhill a ...

Ipswich Town 1 -0 Hull City

Good, But Not Good Enought Town kept their part of the bargain for a play-off place after earning a deserved three points over promotion hopefuls Hull City this afternoon thanks to an Alan Lee header, but as expected; results went against us, mea ...

Final Day Predictions

A Playoff place for Town? I Doubt It 46 hard fought games all boil down to today, with ours proving to be one of the most important going into the final day. However, I expect the pre-kick off excitement to be fully out of steam by full time with T ...

Moment of Truth

Quick out of the blocks. September-October Swoon. Mid-year-Mid-Table. Magnificent March....What will today bring? Simple. Win over Ipswich. Stoke Loss to Leicester. Automatic promotion. I didn't think I would ever be saying 'At least the playoffs ...

Will the Alonso brothers face off in the Prem?

Footballers' brothers often find a way to wriggle their way into the news. I don't think there are enough stories about famous players' sisters to institute a BAS of the Week column quite yet, but we'll keep an eye on it. Ronaldinho is represen ...

Argyle 0 Hull 1

A thoroughly miserable end to a thoroughly miserable week. Argyle looked bereft of confidence, ideas, and stomach for the fight as they surrendered tamely to a Hull side who frankly did not look much better. This was as limp a performance as I've seen f

Beatdown City

It was a weekend of shellacking's in the FLC, as for some reason the goals came out and defense's stayed home in England's second tier. Charlton 3 Cardiff 0 Bluebirds get destroyed by Charlton, who move up to second in the table. Ipswich 6 Bristo

Hully City 3 Barnsley 0 Hull City destroyed high flying Barnsley at the KC on monday night, thanks to two early goals from Man U loanee Frazier Campbell. But before we get to match reaction, I would like to relay to the few of you who may have missed i

Weekend Review

Fairly ho-hum weekend in the Coca Cola Championship this past weekend, and rightly so with the focus being on the rugby in France, where the Springboks got it done for their second RWC title. A few results did stand out on the round ball side of th

Hull City 0-4 Chelsea

At the moment Chelsea fans who are still in shock over Jose's departure and the very quick appointment of Avram Grant shouldn't go too mad about the win at Hull City last night. I mean no disrespect to Hull City and their fans, I am past the days of '

Carling Cup: Hull City v Chelsea

Its been almost SEVEN days since Jose left, and it feels like a lifetime. I still can't get my head around WHY Chelsea and Jose parted the way they did!!! To me the most appropriate time to part company should have been at the end of last season, espe

David vs. A Wounded Goliath

Carling Cup: Chelsea FC at Hull City AFC As Hull City takes to the pitch at the KC Stadium tonight, they will face a side in turmoil. The shock exit of their 'Special' manager, injuries to various key first team players, and a weekend loss to t

Into the Black Country

A penalty from perma-fake tanned Dean Windass gave the Tigers a victory at Molineux, as Hull escaped with a 1-0 win over Wolves on Champions League night. While most of the country focused on the glitter of Europe's 'Premier Club Competition' (unless

Tigers in Europe

A HA! Fantastic accounts of the Tigers smashing Milan in the Champions League won't be found here (check back in 2009-2010 for that article), I was actually referring to the two Hull representatives in the weekends Euro 2008 qualifiers. Although I will wa

Week in Review

Hull City vs Blackpool A generally disappointing performance by the Tigers in the Monday night match, where some awful marking punctuated by inept finishing resulted in a 2-1 defeat to the Championship newcomers. The result was overshadowed by a sc

Decaying News and Aston Villa Preview

Lets get the decaying news out of the way first. In a last minute transfer before the 'window' closed, Lassana Di....ar......ra left Chelsea for the new ski, (Chelski is old hat now) so let's welcome Arseski. Diarra was a firm fans favourite and with

Pride of the Shirt -- Hull City (Home) 07/08

Curiously, Hull City have abandoned their traditional striped shirt design this coming season, in favor of these all orange efforts by new supplier Umbro. I do quite like the subtle tiger stripes on the shoulders.

Following Football -- When Mediocrity is Worth Watching

Micky Adams was recently fired as the manager of Coventry City - which is presumably why the BBC picked him to survey the list of lackluster Championship clubs fighting against the ignominious plunge into League One. While the top of the League has be

Drink a Lot of Coke - Become Obese Buy Your Club a Football Player

By gulping copious amounts of sugary goodness - you too could have a tuxedo like this, and perhaps more bizarrely earn your favorite Football League club a brand new star player (you could then give him the tux to wear at team functions). It's all par

Look, I Know Hull City are in Crisis - But This is Just Ridiculous

When you're deep in the relegation mire and your second manager of the season looks more than a little bit overwhelmed - it could be termed that you are in an ever so slight crisis. Yet as this news leaked to the authorities in Hull - they chose to re

It's All About the Pride of the Shirt -- #3. Hull City

Football has its classic colors - Liverpool's all red, Real Madrid's all white, Barcelona's maroon and blue, Celtic's white and green. Then there's Hull City's orange and black combination - hardly considered synonymous with the word classic to be hon
