    .....Nigel knows best.

    Yet again we have people questioning his team selection and yet again he prooves the doubters wrong with another masterly display of tactics. yes, we all like to play the manager but the results do not lie....Well Done NA and the lads!

    Hes a genius end of. His interview is great if you heard it manages to keep himself grounded and not get carried away what a find he was!

    Yeah I think Schad put it brilliantly on the Billy Sharp non-starting thread. Dave Merrington, at one point, questioned Nigel's tactics and then quickly realised what Adkins was doing. Nigel got his tactics superb again. Hull City's key players didn't really get a look in.

    Yep, and he teased Kris Temple with one of his answers.

    Jos Hooiveld's interview was a laugh. Both He and Kris giggling away when Jos mentioned how great his own goal was.

    What a genius. We all wanted to see sharp on the pitch but nige kept his head and shored things up with hammond and Harding. Sharpy will get his chance.

    You gotta love the way both the manager and Jos had a laugh in their interviews. Shows that they are not under any pressure. Looking good for Southampton!

    I listened to the Hull radio and the commentators were very complimentary indeed. I would go as far as say they were brown nosing as much as I have ever hears. Creaming themselves.

    However They do not floow the league. Husefelt? who's he. Font? It's Fonte. The guy even said he though it was De Ridder that scored the second until he was told it was Husefelt....err I mean Hooiveld.....Errm Only about a foot taller but they do look the same......not. lol

    Great result against a good side.

    It actually is Font, but that doesn't sing as well so we changed it.

    But Jose has said he is quite happy with Fonte [sounding like Fontay]. He answers to both, which is extremely reasonable of him, because nearly all the commentators, Adkins, and All were well into saying Fontay, before someone suggested it was actually Font.

    Indeed they were eulogising more than the guys watching Bilbao last week, they were prepared to say that's 'game over' if Lallana had scored just after the OG.

    ...And in more commentary mix up news, the lead comentator continually confusing Cork and Lallana, 'becasue of the jet black hair'? The co-commentator's offered theory was, 'it's those stripes!' Later on 'the rubbish numbers' were blamed. Gotta say they very entertaining themselves :)

    Which is exactly why I don't feel guilty about saying Fontay. I'm too familiar with it to bother changing, it sounds more natural to me.
