Contwition

I'm so sorry about yesterday. Made a stupid, immature and costly mistake. I apologize to hull city and the fans who I let down. I let my emotions get the best of me and lost my composure. Believe it or not this year playing for hull was to date the best trip I've ever been on.

Stupid reaction by Jozy. Nicely taunted by Hutton who also went down quite theatrically.



Hutton was red carded as well, but has since had his suspension reduced to one match.

Vennegoor given all clear

Well, maybe not all clear.

Hull City have welcomed news revealing that Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink has suffered no long-term damage.

The Dutch striker was knocked unconscious after colliding with Richard Dunne during Wednesday's 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa, with the game delayed by seven minutes as he was treated on the field before being carried off.

Vennegoor of Hesselink was immediately rushed to Hull Royal Infirmary for scans, with it feared that he may have suffered major head trauma.

However, medical tests have come back all clear and he has subsequently been released to recuperate at home.

The 31-year-old frontman will definitely sit out the Tigers' home date with Sunderland on Saturday, but could figure again before the end of the season.

I've had N'Gog penciled in as a cheap striker this week. But he's suffered a 24 trip to Madrid to play today and travels to Burnley at the weekend. Perhaps Jozy is a better option? He's cheaper. Hull must win, and they're at home to a poor-traveling Sunderland side. I don't know that I'm ready to ship out DBent from another of the striker positions, but maybe there are goals from both sides in this one.

Or is that just our USA bias talking?

Hull do something worthwhile

I'm sure his name isn't huge around the world but Hull did themselves a favor in acquiring Jozy Altidore on loan from Villareal. The American striker is from the Drogba/Kenwyne Jones mold and will be a dynamic presence that Hull lacked once he gets his feet under him in the Prem. Probably not an early season pick-up but I'm betting come mid-October he'll start making a bit of an impact and you should keep an eye on him in case it comes sooner.
