Hull knife crimes 2011-12 - 104. London knife crimes 2011-12 - 13,326(50% of all UK knife crime). We really wouldn't run them very close at all.
I like Dorrams but dont think we need another of his type. Palacios for me as far as the midfielder is concerned. City have 3 players having a try out in Cottingham at the moment. 3 Aussies. Strikers Bryant and May who are a great match for each other and have struck up a great partnership over the years. Mark Viduka has reccomended them. plus midfield enforcer Sandy Gravell who has been released by Melbourne Storm after his contract ended.
Oh no, we're not going to get Ben Doon and Phil Mcafferty in as well are we? (someone had to do it!!).
Fewer blacks, that's why. Not that that has anything to do with it. It's all to do with poverty, and as we know London is far more deprived than Hull...
For those with time on their hands Transfermarkt offer a service to look at all players (English and world leagues) with 1yr or less on their contract and approximate value, makes interesting reading.
