...why so many people regard Phil Brown as a total cunt, you just have to see his interview on Match of the Day after the game today.
Or was the way his honest, clean, non-physical, pure-footballing side bullied and intimidated by big bad Stoke actually anywhere as near as bad as his inane ramblings suggested?
No doubt from now on, eh?

I think the jacket was by way of paying homage to his childhood hero - Biggles! ;D

I must admit the inference that his set-piece-reliant Hull team ,somehow, Arsenal-like, "had to stand up to Stoke physically" did make me cringe. www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/sport/article88277.ece“I’m disappointed with the way we played and I apologise for not playing good football,” he said. “But I make no apologies for the way they play.” Left the samba football at home, eh Tango? We don't want you to apologise for us, Phil. On the direct-o-meter, you're only one notch above us. |

I didn't mind the banter, I thought he was pretty funny. He was Mowbray-esque in his interview though, like a man who's lost the plot.
No wins in 6 for Hull?

It’s quite amusing really the ramblings of both Mr Ed and Tango Phil, the one just babbles about doing things the right way and sticking to his principles which strangely hasn’t been very evident when we have played them. They have resorted to hoofing the ball long, wasting time and basically sitting with ten men behind the ball and then bemoaning the lack of entertainment and exciting football which apparently was down to us.
It seems in the world of free flowing purist football it’s the other team who are responsible for your defensive tactics. It’s pretty funny really, blame the opponents for the poor quality of the game and then shake your head in a rueful manner. It’s just the way Stoke play, everyone understands that, they are big and physical and just lump the ball forward how can we play football against that, you just have to compete and move on to the next game where we can once more play exciting football and score lots of goals and resume our climb up this league to which we have taken so well if you ignore the lack of goals and points. The genius of Mr Ed, people actually buy this crap and therefore he keeps churning it out defeat in defeat out.
As for Tango Phil, at least Mr Ed’s mob have a reputation for ball retention the only time he has a reputation for ball retention is when he has one hand in his pocket and finds the lining is torn. Hull did everything yesterday to waste time, they played little if no football they hoof the ball more than any other side in the league they had as many 6 footers in their line up and yet we were the physical side and he was sorry they couldn’t get the ball down and play like they never do any other week but it is easier to convince people because you are playing Stoke and that’s the stereotype we have, everyone says the same thing about us, it’s meant to excuse their own short comings and explain why they failed to take us apart.
In reality both Hull and the Brazilians set their sides out for a point, then they moan that they weren’t allowed to play football. The best football moves in both games came from the side who apparently just hoof the ball forward and simply attempt to intimidate you into submission strange they seemed to miss those football moves on the ground and ignore their own crude hoofs forward in this haze of purists rose tinted glasses that both wear. I suggest Mr Brown stops inhaling the fumes when he’s outside being coated with wood stain each week.

Whilst the jacket made him look like a very old rent boy - The words spouting from his glib mouth were even more amusing. "I make no apologies for the way they play" "we coped with them physically" Just a glance at the stats makes him look as daft as his jacket.
Stoke had more shots on target (5 to Hull's 2) and off target (6 to Hull's 2)
Stoke had more corners (5 to Hull's 3)
Hull had more fouls (18 to Stoke's 17)
Hull had more yellow cards (3 to Stoke's 2)
Possession and Territorial advantage was virtually eaqual.
Hull had some of the cost comedic 'gamesmanship' ever seen (Windass)
The sunbed is clearly getting to Brown
I'm glad the circus has left town
Brown probably left in his Tiger Moth and Windass in his clown's car

Strange how the best move of the match in footballing terms came from us, when Rory narrowly missed at the back stick.

That was a lovely bit of play. |
