Football and Music

In days gone by the South Americans were seen an an elite and expensive type that you’d find playing for a continental club, but these days because everybody is paying silly money for even the most mediocre performers…

… in the Premier League it is ‘der rigeur’ to have at least one Brazilian in your team.

Not everybody can go to The Apple Store though. Some of the sides are looking in the Argos catalogue or at Comet and the like.

And for Hull City – they’ll be at Cash Converters.

They thought at first that they’d found themselves a bargain when they go Geovanni on a free from Man City, but after 30 appearances this season he’s only bagged 8 and Hull have realised too late (sorry, no returns) that they’ve bought a lemon.

It is uncertain if it’s something up with the man himself, whether he has gone on strikers…err…strike. Or whether it is up to the tactics of the (increasingly loopy) Phil Brown.

But what is certain is that whilst other clubs are enjoying their Ferrero Rocher…Hull City know that they’ll never be able to afford that and will have to get used to having a Nestlé KitKat.

Personally I can’t understand why Phil Brown doesn’t just go back into the pantry and choose to use the bloke who got them into the Prem to keep them in the Prem. When it comes to big games like these and big performances are needed, why does he leave him on the shelf ?

I haven’t really looked to see what the current situation is with Dean Windass… Hang on I’ll google it… No it seems that “Loopy !” Brown has banished him from the club. Very stupid and very sad to read that.

To the music and with it being Hull you can assume that the celebrity musical act will be in the same…

But no ! Wait ! It isn’t !

I know it looks like the “local” Man U supporting musical act, but it’s not them.

It is in fact a Quo tribute band who call themselves StraightAs Quo and I have to say that they’ve got the look down pat. Take a quick glance and you could swear it was them.

And for their music I also have to say that they are pretty damn near to the real thing too.
– Don’t know how it came about or why but they recorded a single with the 2002/2003 Hull City team:

» StraightAs Quo featuring the Hull City AFC 2002/2003 Squad – The Tigers, The Tigers To the tune of ‘Rockin’ All Over The World’ – There are some Lyrics Hull City Hull City The Tigers are back Hull City Hull City The amber and black Hull City Hull City The Tigers are back Hull City Hull City The amber and black In days gone by We used to be Hull City lovers We used to roar a lot And so did twenty thousand others Those days went by And then we struggled for survival But now were back As we begin the great revival Hull City Hull City The Tigers are back Hull City Hull City The amber and black We learnt to roar Thats what the doldrum years have taught us And so weve got A loyal band of loud supporters And we’ll be here Whenever theres a game to win And you will here The Tiger fans get up and sing Hull City Hull City The Tigers are back Hull City Hull City The amber and black Youll never catch that tiger We’ll snatch the decider Youll never catch that tiger Were gonna surprise you We’ll beat them here We’ll beat them there and everywhere Bad days have gone for good Let all the doubt be made aware Cos we’ll go on Marching on as before Yes we’ll go on And you will hear the Boothferry roar Hull City Hull City The Tigers are back Hull City Hull City The amber and black And we’ll be watching the Tigers As they march to victory We’ll go the ends of the earth Just to follow the Hull City We’ll paint the town amber And yell it out in the street We are Hull City The City noone can beat Youll never catch that tiger We’ll snatch the decider Youll never catch that tiger Were gonna surprise you

Yes it is as low rent as the club…

If this relegation issue was to be decided by these songs then Hull would be doomed.
