Hull + Phil Brown

Melion · 06-10-2008 1:28am

Im delighted with Hull this season, i remember seeing a piece about them on Football Focus a few years ago(i think they were in Div 2) and have followed their results since then(Same as Livingston in Scotland). They've had a lot of ups and downs since but im really enjoying seeing them performing like this. As the OP said, its great for Phil Brown because he does seem like a genuine and honest man.

Phil Brown reminds me of Hugh Laurie.

Pigman II · 06-10-2008 1:38am

He's a good manager, but he should change his name from Phil Brown to Phil Faketan.

He's had it in for Newcastle fans, being a Mackem, and hasn't had the best things to say about us ever since we failed to worship his good friend Sam Allardyce.

What I relaly like is that Phil Brown seems like such a bloody nice guy, down-to-earth manager just putting in the work and seeing the rewards. Great to see.

Delighted for them. Did you all hear he grew that Goatie for charity before shaving it? Which other manager in the PL could you see doing that?

Wouldn't see Fergie doing it, that's for damn sure

Hull are the new Wigan 2005/06 and like Wigwam I bet thier points return will hit the buffers mid season but already having done enough to avoid the drop.

Mike

Yea and a bit like Reading in 2006/2007 - There is usually one promoted team that manages a good early run to stay up, but it's usually not the play-off winner.

I remember Hull being is real trouble back about 7 or 8 years ago, owner locking the gates of the old ground etc.

But like Wigan, Rugby League seems to have come to the rescue

That we've all got lovely big cocks, and are a sound bunch of lads. What do you think??? I'm not saying that he should be licking our arses, but when he has a dig at us, do you expect us to be all over him like a bad rash like the rest of you seem to be?

I couldn't give a shíte what he said about Newcastle United Football Club, and don't think many more on here do either.

People are discussing him because he has Hull 4th in the toughest league in the world, not what he might have said about The 3 ring circus you support, get over it or you will end up bitter and twisted.

As I have already siad, props to Hull for playing so well. However, the thread is titled 'Hull+Phil Brown' I gave my opinion on both, and for the latter it was at the request of other posters.

I couldn't give a monkeys what you think about Newcastle or my views, but don't act the eThug and try call shotgun over what views people can and cannot express.

eThug? Good Lad. :rolleyes:

Fair play to them for coming up and playing well.
I'm sick of the likes of WBA and the likes coming up and going down every 2nd year.
I'd like to see QPR come back up also and do well.

dfx- · 06-10-2008 12:51pm

Much prefer them to Stoke's neanderthal stuff. That 'football' went out of fashion with the Wooly Mammoth's decline.

He reminds me of Eddie Izzard. A mate and I were just saying the other week how we looks like so many people you've seen before.

Hull have been fantastic so far, great to see them in 3rd place, its a breath of fresh air, hope they are not gonna be the next reading though.

tbh in there current form i hope liverpool don't have to play them soon, i wanna play all teams when they are out of form

Mr Alan · 06-10-2008 5:23pm

Charlie, exactly wat did he say about the fans that pissed you off?

Best leave it at that.

Third_Echelon · 07-10-2008 2:34pm

They've done very well and a lot of teams have under-estimated them....

I'd like to see them stay up as they look like a great little side, but I fear that its gonna be a very long season for them to keep up the form they are currently experiencing.

First point of call for these 'new' teams to the premiership is to survive their first season. I'm sure if you gave that option to Phil Brown now he'd take it.

Great to see... Hope they do well..

Davidth88 · 07-10-2008 3:26pm

I saw them play against Blackburn , they looked really very good.

I have a soft spot for Hull , the first live game I ever want to was Chelsea V Hull back in the old 2nd Div. We ( Chelsea ) won 4 nil , and we got promoted , if you were wondering Ray Wilkins was playing for Chelsea then .....

Hull was always a Rugby League town really.

One final oddity..... Hull never had a BT telephone exchange , their local council ran the telephone system , this later became Kingston COmmunications. For this reason Hull always had the best telephone system in the UK. It's rather like Cork deciding to run thier own phones or something , a real oddity.

Don't start giving the Cork langers any ideas. They already think they're the Basque separatists of Ireland as it is!
