Hull City is at it again.

Surprise package, Hull City pulled no rabbits out its hat last weekend with a 4-3 loss to last year's champions, Manchester United.

In all honesty, the tight scoreline is anything but far from the true reality of a match where United, for long periods of time, outclassed the Tigers to put them to a mere whimper. But predictably, Hull City exited the match talking as if they had been the side that was four up.

For all his modest efforts, Hull manager, Phil Brown seems unable to exert his influence on this players' tendancy to whore themselves with the most outrageous comments to the media. While Brown is more concerned with turning his side's exciting start into long term Premier League security, his captain seemed to be ecstatic that his side is the first team to score three goals at Old Trafford since Chelsea over three years ago.

"In the second half we changed our formation and we went one on one on them and asked the question: 'Let's see how good you are?'," said Boateng, the Hull captain and midfielder. "When we did that, they didn't know what to do. Tactically, they had problems."

"We had showed them too much respect, though they are a very good team and the front players they have, in Rooney, Berbatov, Ronaldo, mean you have to show respect. But we showed too much in that first half. If we had been at 0-1 at half-time, United would have known it would be very difficult for them."

Are you kidding me Boateng? Are you implying that Hull City could have gone one nil ahead in a game where Ferguson stated his team could have scored 10 against Hull but only hit 4 by the hour mark?

That is as impossible as Geovanni ordering a pizza with chicken ham, olives and pepperoni correctly.

And for those who felt a hint of exaggeration in Fergie's claims, it is not far fetched given how Hull City was whalloped 5-0 by Wigan in August.

Yeah, so United scored four goals against Hull because Hull showed too much respect in the 1st half. Meanwhile, Hull scored three goals because United was distracted by Geovanni who had been muttering to himself throughout the 90 minutes.

And thankfully, they figured what he was saying quick enough to take all three points from the game. They should have asked me cos i knew what he was muttering all 90 minutes,

"Scolari is a top coach and I do not doubt he will be a success at Chelsea, but I feel sorry for him because we are going to beat his team."

Surely he said that.
