I had a think about what odd the book makes would be fair odds and came up with 6/4.
I look at the odds on offer and they range from evens to 8/5, so I am at the higher end of that
range.
They are also second on current form a good 0.25 points per game ahead of the third placed team
Ipswich managed by our very own Mick McCarthy!! But Ipswich are 19th in the league with no hope of catching them.
Middlesbrough are the biggest danger both on current and overall form averaging 1.87 points per game against Hulls 2.25.
However the Championship can be very unpredictable a lot could change in the remaining games, they are only 3 games
past halfway.
I cant find any news on a transfer? Everything i read say they are just looking to extend his loan deal. Any links?
This is the latest I have... well Sky have...Quote:

I don't get that. Surely if he's already on loan at Hull, fit, and training, and playing each week, what's the need for a medical?
Really though, it's a good move for him and for the Irish team. It's a pity he couldn't get a Premier team, but first team football will do him the world of good and hopefully Hull can be promoted.
Probably a legal / insurance requirement. If they just signed him and he didn't have a medical, then suffered a serious injury, I doubt an insurance company would pay out as the club wouldn't have been able to prove it wasn't a pre-existing injury due to the lack of a medical examination prior to purchasing the player.Quote:

In the grand scheme of things, it's a solid move for Brady. In spite of the talent he possesses, such a high amount of players fail to make the grade at Manchester United and examples of this can be found in a huge amount of sides in League One and League Two.
Signing for a strong Championship side who are willing to pay quite a hefty fee for a 20 year-old with only Championship experience bodes well for Brady's future. The investment shows how valuable Hull believe Brady can be.
It's disappointing that he didn't make it at Manchester United, as it would have been nice to see an Irish player at one of the top sides again. But given the attacking quality in the current squad at Old Trafford, the breakthrough didn't look immediate or very likely. This is only a stepping stone for Brady.
I remember hearing an interview with Kevin Kilbane, who had been training with Brady at Hull, about a year ago. He sang his praises to high heaven and said that he was an unbelieveable player and going to be a serious player for club and country.
Hull on live tomorrow, looking forward to it
Booked as Hull are one down at home to Sheff Wed.
Hmmm not the result I expected. A bad one for Hull really against a team
just outside the the relegation zone (think they were in it pre match?) but Shef Wed have been on a good run
recently 13 points from the last 18.
Disappointed from an Irish point of view in the performances of Meyler and Brady. The latter showed neat touches every now and again but gave the ball away too often and his corners weren't up to the usual standard. Meyler never imposed himself on the game against a physical but otherwise very average Wednesday side.
Brady says he left Man Utd to ensure he kept himself in the frame for Ireland.

Was he let go or did he ask to be let go?
That article suggests both scenarios.
I took it just he asked to go and that Ferguson's regret should stem from Ferguson allowing him to go.
Perhaps, but then there is this Q
Asked if he was determined to prove Alex Ferguson wrong for letting him go, he said: "He's got a lot to think about. He's got so many players to accommodate and make sure he gets the best out of his players.
I took it from that question what I stated it above. I'd say it was 50-50.Quote:

By all accounts, Ferguson tried to talk him into staying but he wasn't so bothered that he would block the transfer. That's generally how Ferguson operates and he's rarely made a mistake.Quote:

I don't particularly like United and Fergie isn't exactly the nicest of blokes, but he is one of the greatest managers of all time. Robbie is obviously a very good talent, but the fact that Fergie didn't put up too much of a fight to keep him would be a concern. He had Cleverley on loan for a few years at various clubs, but he seemed to always believe that he had a future at OT. He obviously didn't think the same of Robbie.Quote:

I dunno, the interviewer might just have asked him if he'd like to play for United again and then phrased it stupidly in the article.
Possibly Brady was flummoxed by the question and just gave some stock reply.
It was a contradictory question to ask when the premise for the article is
'Robbie Brady has admitted he took the agonising decision to leave Manchester United to protect his fledgling international career.'
I'd be willing to bet he wasn't asked the question at all. If you read his response, it certainly doesn't sound like he's responding to the question. I'm guessing he was asked something like whether he thinks he was good enough to make it there and he was trying to explain why the manager didn't feel comfortable giving him more opportunities.
You mean the journalist asks one question in the actual interview, Brady answers it, then later the journalist edits out the question, substituting it with another question he didn't ask, a question that contradicts the premise of the article?
:confused:
Mmmm
Not bad Charlie,
but I'm not sure if that's an example of your (on occasion) brilliant 'outside the box thinking' or just adding to the madness.
My brilliant 'outside of the box' thing sometimes deserts me but in this case I am speaking from experience of how these things come about :)
edit: I don't think the journalist meant to contradict the premise of the article, it's just clumsy phrasing that adds to the confusion. Basically, Brady left for a reason but can feel aggrieved he wasn't afforded more opportunities - the way it reads, Brady was explaining the latter but the writer has clumsily made it out like he was pushed out.
pressed further by Geysir about whether or not he was suffering from some form of mental illness, Charlie Darwin responded non-committally adding "my brilliant outside the box thinking sometimes deserts me".
Two assists for Brady tonight to secure victory for Hull.
Another assist today. His left foot is a thing of wonder.
Zzzzzzzzz, all these updates are getting boring, another assist for Brady tonight.
Incidently, his assist tonight was from his right foot. A deep inswinging cross from the left with his right. Quinn provided the first assist for Elmo. Apparently Meyler had a fine game too. Hull City 2nd in championship and are looking stronger with every game. Tonight's win makes it 3 wins in the last 3 games. Of note, leaders Cardiff slipped up 0-2 at home to Brighton
Great to hear. Hopefully he can start adding some goals to those assists and we'll have a real player on our hands.
goals on 101great goals: http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos...2-blackburn-0/
excellent assists from the Irish players at Hull.
Good set of result for Hull of results with Leicester losing, indeed Cardiff losing too, both at home.
If they carry on like that a good chance of Brady Meyler Quinn and McShane in the Premiership next season.
Scores for Hull direct from a free but they're 4-1 down.
Goal - Robbie Brady - Bolton 3 - 1 Hull City
Free kick scored by Robbie Brady from long range to the bottom right corner of the goal. Bolton 3-1 Hull.
2 assists again yesterday and 1 for Meyler. Anyone have his assist count for the season?
No idea, but he's certainly stepped it up in the last month or two. Cardiff lost today but with 5 points and a game in hand their lead is probably still unlikely to be assailable. Wolves' equaliser against Watford last night did Hull a huge favour last night - let's hope last week's defeat was just a blip.

Another assist tonight, setting up Meyler for a last minute consolation in a 4-2 loss to Crystal Palace.
I think Andy Reid also had 9 when I looked but it was 7+2 for non-league games, the Hull site does not break down
the figures though. Reid has more goals though 5 v 2.
Also Simon Cox 7 assists and 5 goals.
Forest have do a bit of a run together 4 wins on the bounce giving a play off chance if they keep it up.
