9 Reasons Why Hull City Is My New Favorite Team

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.

Where have all the real football fans gone?

Time for a rant!! Not had one for a while! I'm sure a few of you go through the same thing I do when you go and watch your beloved team each week. You buy a season ticket and you sit with your chums. Before the game you have a beer, maybe a cheeky pie and even a Bovril when times are cold. A pint after the game to toast a victory (occasionally) and you have a good day out.

So yesterday's post about Terry Venables, while joshing, was also meant to convey the respect yours truly has for the man's achievements. The fact that he hasn't been so hot in 10 years doesn't detract from the fact that he was a very good manager, not to mention England's last truly great coach.

So while it was faintly silly, there was a certain logic to Newcastle United's pursuit. Click to continue reading...

On paper a home game against Premiership newbies Hull City should an easy three points. But life isn't paper and the reality is that Hull will not come to the Emirates and lay down.
