Relegation Watch is back! After the popularity of last season’s set of blogs, revelling in the downfall of Newcastle United, I thought it would be a good idea to bring back the topic… but whose demise will I be plotting this time?
Ironically, it is the team I was tipping to survive last season – Hull City. Why the change of heart? Well, I disliked Newcastle more 12 months ago, and Hull’s success lead to The Toon Army’s relegation. Plus, Hull’s manager, Phil Brown, has become even more annoying in the past year.
He rarely backs his players – a factor I believe to be very important in a manager. When Hull lose, it’s their fault, not his. Remember this?
Yet when Hull “do well” – not winning for about 9 months, getting beat by the Manchester United Under 14’s, but surviving relegation – it’s all down to the genius that is Phil ‘the dogs bollocks’ Brown.
Everton today helped the Relegation Watch, beating Hull 5-1 this afternoon. Maybe it’ll get easier for Philip next week… they have Arsenal – I think not.
I don’t think he’ll need his mic this season. A map to Blackpool, however, will be required.
