Nine games into the  Barclays Premier League 2009/10 season, Hull City find themselves in the relegation zone. While fans around the Premiership point fingers and laugh at the Tigers, one man is not laughing: Phil Brown.

Following yet another defeat, this time at the hands of Fulham at Craven Cottage on Monday night, Phil Brown knows that his job is on the line.

According to the latest reports, Fulhams's Diomansy Kamara heads Hughton's wish list for emergency loans, with Marlon Harewood and Daniel Cousin also on the interim manager's radar. Fulham signed Kamara from West Bromwich Albion in July 2007 for £6m but he injured a cruciate ligament in June 2008 which kept him on the treatment table for [. Click to continue reading...

It looks like a few teams in the Premier League could suffer a fair bit when the African Cup of Nations 2010 kicks off on Sunday, January 10th 2010. The competition, which always coughs up some great entertainment, will see approximately 27 Premier League players set off for Angola.

With the European transfer window set to close on Tuesday, we are starting to get more and more rumors and deals being made, some affecting Americans directly and indirectly.

The two most high-profile Americans poised to make transfer moves are DaMarcus Beasley and Freddy Adu, who are both in dire need of moves in order to secure more playing time and get back into the U.

One 100% heterosexual ass-tap, administered by Steve Parkin (Hull City's first-team coach), propelled Jozy Altidore into the Premier League arena for the first time. That's how we do things in England. "Get out there lad and score us a bloody goal," Parkin added. Or something like that.
Altidore didn't score a goal on his Prem debut – he replaced Caleb Folan in the 60th minute of Hull's home game v Bolton Wanderers on Saturday – but he did the next best thing in setting up team-mate Kamel Ghilas to bang in the game's only goal. Click to continue reading...

Jozy Altidore is Hull City's big summer signing. The US international might only be on a season-long loan deal, but the fact the Tigers have the option of signing him permanently at the end of the campaign for £6.5m reveals the size of role that Hull boss Phil Brown envisages for the former Red Bulls hitman.

Looking at the predictions that are currently flooding the world of Premiership football, two teams are entrenched in a dogfight for who will finish bottom. No-one, but no-one thinks both Hull City or Burnley will stay up. One if not both of them, in the eyes of everyone think they're dead and buried before a ball is kicked.

American striker Jozy Altidore has confirmed that he will be playing for Hull City this season, and that a press conference to announce the deal will take place on Thursday afternoon.

ESPN is reporting that move is not a transfer, but rather a one-year loan designed to get Altidore more playing time against top competition.

The football season is nearly over for another year and you know you are getting down to the business end of things when talk outside the Premier League turns to the play-offs. In England's top flight there are still three games to go with essentially everything to play for. At the bottom things are as they were at the start of the weekend after everyone from 13th downwards lost.

Hull manager Phil Brown believes the only way to stop Fernando Torres is to keep him off the Liverpool team sheet.
The in-form Spanish striker is Brown's main worry as he prepares his side to face the Reds at the KC Stadium today in a match which could have a major say in outcomes at either end of the Premier League table. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool travel to Hull on Saturday knowing that they must win all of their remaining games if they are going to stand a chance of catching league leaders Manchester United. England's most successful team will be eager to prevent their rivals from equalling their league title record, however with United three points clear with a game in hand the chances of that happening are not high.

And there goes Fulham's Top 10 finish. Poof. Gone. The rumor has turned into reality. 
Fulham stud Jimmy Bullard has officially joined Hull.
I have a big soft spot for the England international not because he saved Fulham from relegation last season, but because he returned from injury to lead my fantasy team Cantona FC to a third straight mini-league title last season. Click to continue reading...

I admit it. I have a soft spot for underdogs. Three years ago, I was enamored by Wigan's brilliant beginning to the season where they surprised so many teams and fans by playing attacking football. Two years ago, it was Reading's turn to brighten up the Premier League. Last season there was no underdog, but [. Click to continue reading...

So, how many people thought Hull City would be Premiership cannon fodder, this seasons Derby County, bravely battling against the odds in a futile struggle that would ultimately lead to relegation. If so, how many had actually seen Hull City play before they came up? Not many I bet. Fair enough, I'd only seen them [. Click to continue reading...

• Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Manchester United at the weekend was one of the games of the season so far and Arsene Wenger's side proved a lot of people wrong. Not only did they show their outstanding technical ability but also grit, determination and heart to keep United at bay during the onslaught of the last [. Click to continue reading...

Seriously? Three goals for Hull? At Old Trafford? Now, I understand that United has a frustrating tendency to struggle against lower ranked/newly promoted teams (granted, Hull is actually higher than us in the standings), but this game was a far different animal. Generally, we scrap out a 1-0 victory over teams like Bolton and Reading, and only manager 0-0 draws against less than intimidating opponents.

Givanildo aka Hulk: Hulk Smash

My thesis is that the lack of inches on the Arsenal defense bemoaned by Wenger and Toure is a convenient excuse for the generally brain dead defending that sunk us so badly against Hull. In short we are freaked. Seriously, I hope this nonsense is not being internalized by the club players because it does not bode well.

Hull City arrived at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday fearing the worst. Arsenal's kids had dispatched Sheffield United 6-0 in midweek, so with the first team put back in and in good form, Hull had every right to be scared. Yet 90 minutes later they had emerged with a 2-1 victory that, if lucky at [. Click to continue reading...

Its difficult swallowing losses to Fulham and now Hull. Especially after that wonderful mid week dismantling of Sheffield Utd at the hands of the youngsters.

Admittedly the goals that sunk the Gunners were top notch. Almunia, even if he had morphed into a giant octopus with flailing tentacles, would have had a tough time keeping Geovanni and Daniel Cousin from the back of the net.

Stoke 0 - 2 Chelsea
Chelsea are back on top of the Premier League after a solid 2-0 victory over Stoke. Jose Bosingwa joined the attack on many occasions from his right back position, and he was rewarded with a goal in the 36th minute. Bosingwa got behind the defense, running on to a nice lobbed pass from Frank Lampard, and lashed the ball just inside the far post.

I'll bet Arsene Wenger woke up in a cold sweat this morning, looked around his bedroom and said (in French) "Oh, thanks goodness, it was all just a bad dream."

Hull City have this evening beaten the might of Arsenal in their own backyard. It is, undoubtedly the result of this season's Premier League and Hull manager Phill Brown can take a tremendous amount of credit for it.
Brown started with a very attacking line-up, a move that many people felt would see Hull be humiliated but that was far from the case. Click to continue reading...
