Hull City 1 - 0 Newcastle United
KC Stadium
Matchday 1


Folan's 2nd minute strike gave Hull a dream start in the Premier League

Hull City celebrated their first ever Premier League match with a surprise 1-0 win against a strong Newcastle side. The Tigers took the lead early on in the 2nd minute of the
match after a mix-up in the Newcastle defence between Taylor and Collocini let through Caleb Folan who put the ball in the bottom corner of the net leaving Shay Given with no chance. Collocini was clearly upset and angry at his part to play in the goal and this showed when he was booked in the 7th minute for a needless challenge on Hull striker Marlon King. Collocini was later replaced in the second half by Nicky Butt who came closest for Newcastle when his long range effort clipped the bar. Hull City managed to hang on though after increasing Newcastle pressure from Michael Owen and Obafemi Martins and Hull bagged there first ever Premier League points as Newcastle went home with nothing.

Geremi Heads Off To Spain To Join Mallorca


Geremi leaves The Toon after just one year

Newcastle midfielder Geremi has completed his £3 million transfer to Mallorca and has signed a 3 year deal at the Spanish club. Kevin Keegan has said that he is sad to see him go however he wishes the midfielder all the best for the future. Geremi snubbed a move to Sunderland last week after being recently unsettled at St. James’ Park. At a press conference Geremi said “I have always wanted to return to Spain, as I enjoyed it here when I was playing for Real Madrid. I am relished the chance to play in La Liga again and I am looking forward to playing a part in Mallorca’s quest to get into Europe.”

The Hull result.

Simply

Nah unlucky with the result away from home and I'm sure it will get better. You got quite a bit for Geremi considering you got him on a free transfer from us. Good presentation, mate.

 

[saladguy]

Yeah, thanks Jaz. I take it that your a Chelsea fan then?

King Kev Speaks Out


The back page of today's News of The World

Kevin Keegan has revealed exclusively to the News of the World that he called an emergency team meeting about the team’s poor performance in their recent loss to Hull City. Keegan revealed that he found it disgraceful that his side could not beat a side who not so long ago were three leagues behind them in the pecking order. Keegan also revealed that he was livid that they conceded such a needless goal so early on in the match. Keegan criticised all of his players apart from goalkeeper, Shay Given who he praised by saying that he kept the score at 1-0 when Hull could of easily of had a three or four goal advantage. Keegan also called his players a “waste of space” and he questioned why some of his players were even at the club.

 

[The Majestic]

We supporters want some answers as well, I think we need to do something about this!
