[Black Cat Bellerby]

MATCH
PREVIEW

Todays second premier league game will be contested between Hull City and Manchester City at The KC stadium ,home of Hull City both sides will be desperate for a win as both clubs have lost their last three games, The Tigers had started their season fantastically, They have gained 20 points from 12 games, 4 wins coming on the road and a memorable victory over Arsenal.

Ones To Watch

Geovanni:

Geovanni Dieberson Mauricio, is one of Hulls most important players, He came to the KC stadium in the Summer after being released by todays Oppnents Man City, He has received wide acclaim from pundits this season for his goalscoring and creating ability having made 10 appearences and scoring 5 goals.

Robinho:

Robson de Souza is Manchester City's record signing at £32.5 million, Signed from real madrid on Transfer Deadline day due to City being Taken over by the Abou Dhabi group, Has made a great transition into the premier league scoring 7 goals in 9 appearences for City, He takes the captains armband today in the Absence of Ricahrd Dunne

Hull City's Stadium-KC Stadium

GoingJoe's Prediction

" Well both Clubs are off form and both will be looking for a win, its a hard decision t make as one week Man City could win 6-0 against portsmouth but then lose 2-1 to wigan the next, The tigers have lost their last 3 as well and I think this game will be quite close, but this is the premier league anything might happen"

EDIT: Prediction: Hull 2-2 Man City

A fantastic game of football for a neutral fan in a game which could have seen plenty more goals, Daniel Cousin latched onto a Ben-Haim backpass to claim the first goal, Stephen Ireland Claimed 2 goals in the last 11 minutes of the first Half to put Man City ahead. The Second half was very tense for both sets of fans and Geovani scored against his former Team with a Free-Kick coming off the Wall to bring the Match level and the Game drew to a tense end, both teams played very well and a Draw seems a fair result. Both clubs get somthing out of the game bot ending a 3 game losing streak.

I sincerely hope so. We need a huge confidence boost. And I hope we get rid of Ben Haim ASAP in January. I think it would make more sense to put Kompany as Centerback for the time being because quite frankly Ben Haim is the new Sun Jihai imho.

Not only was the goal completely his fault, he also got Joe Hart injured by it. So Joe Hart will probably miss out his chance to play for the England squad against Germany.

Nice for Kasper though I am sure he will get a couple of games under his belt now finally and he is a good keeper as well so I am not too worried.

But Ben Haim's got to go.

And what's up with Benjani constantly being outside... is he too old and slow to get out of the offside or what.

And why the hell do we play Vassel as a right winger??

Great comeback though from us. Robinho is class again, should have gotten a penalty too for the handball (and so should have Benjani) but hey... these things hardly ever go our way.

[Black Cat Bellerby]

What does everyone think of this report ??
