After 20 Premier League games, Hull City sat comfortably in mid-table with relagation seeming totally out of the equation. After 34 games, Hull now find themselves in serious danger of going straight back down to the Championship. Phil Brown’s men are now lying 17th, just three points above the drop and with Manchester United and Aston Villa still to come, you would have to fancy them to go down.

So when and where did it all go wrong for the Tigers?

Well the simple answer to that would be the 26th of December 2008 at the City of Manchester stadium. After Hull conceded four first half goals against Mark Hughes’ Manchester City, Phil Brown decided to humiliate his players by keeping them out on the pitch for the half-time team talk. Hull went on to lose the game 5-1 and since then, they have won just one Premier League game.

At the time Brown said this : “It was the right thing to do, there is no doubt about it. I have got no regrets about it whatsoever. I am fully sure Brown regrets the decision now. It may have seemed like the right thing to do at the time, however his decision has no doubt had a negative affect on the squad.

As much as I would love to say that Hull will avoid the drop, I just can’t. With sides like Newcastle and Middlesbrough still below them, I feel it’s inevitable that one of those side’s will get ahead of Hull. During the opening half of the season, I must admit I really liked Phil Brown’s attitude. I thought he was a massive breath of fresh air for the top flight of English football, however as time has gone on his attitude seems to have got worse as his side have slipped down the table.

What do you think? Was this the moment that ruined Hull City’s season? Can Hull manage to avoid the drop? Comments below please.

Even the most ardent Liverpool fan would have to agree that the title race is now over.

Tonight’s 2-0 win for current Premier League Champions Manchester United, coupled with Liverpool’s failure to claim all three points against Arsenal on Tuesday evening has left Sir Alex Ferguson’s men three points clear and still with a game in hand (which is against Wigan at home).

Credit to Rafa Benitez. Back in February, it looked as though United were going to win the title quite comfortably, however that certainly hasn’t been the case. Liverpool’s form over the months of March and April was simply outstanding, with the 4-1 win at Old Trafford most definitely the highlight.

Despite this, it looks as though United will go on to claim their 3rd Premier League title on the trot come the end of May and you couldn’t argue that it will be well deserved. Share your thoughts on this post, the title race and tonight’s games by leaving a comment below.

OK, if you haven’t heard by now, Liverpool are rumoured to be lining up a summer move for Manchester United bench warmer Carlos Tevez.

The Argentine international has struggled to make any sort of impact at Old Trafford this season, with Sir Alex Ferguson opting to start Dimitar Berbatov ahead of him. The majority of Tevez’ 23 Premier League appearances this season have come as a substitute and the 25-year old has recently admitted he is preparing for life away from United.

“I have many offers, not only from Spain: I need to see which club I can go to and what can be done. We must not only consider the money, I also have to ensure my family feel comfortable, especially my daughter. So I have a lot to think about.”

With Tevez now obviously living in England, it would make sense for him to stay in this country, considering what he said about making his family feel comfortable. That would make a move to either Liverpool or Manchester City very possible.

There is no doubt that Tevez is one of the best strikers in the Premier League and he deserves to be playing week in week out for one of the big four. As you can see by the headline, I really believe a move to Anfield would be perfect for both parties. Rafa Benitez would be getting a top quality player who could be a perfect strike partner for Fernando Torres.

Tevez would be joining one of the biggest clubs in Europe and also he wouldn’t even have to move house, considering he only lives down the road from Liverpool. Also Tevez would be playing alongside good friend Javier Mascherano, whom he moved to West Ham with in 2006.

There are, however a few reasons why this move may not go ahead :

1. Liverpool may not be too keen to spend £25 million on a player who has barely played this season.

2. It is clear for all to see that United fans and Tevez have a very close relationship and I don’t think Tevez would want to hurt the fans who have made him feel so welcome by moving to one of their biggest rivals.

What do you think? Is there any chance we will see Tevez in a Liverpool shirt next season? Comments below please.
