A last minute win against Aston Villa last time out stopped the rot for United but only time will tell if that victory was a rare bright spot in what has been a poor 2014 or whether we have genuniely turned the corner.
The big team news ahead of the match for Newcastle is that Fabricio Coloccini will miss the game on compassionate grounds after travelling back to Argentina following a family bereavement. For the rest of the early team news check out the match preview and for full team news check the bottom of this article just after 2pm.
The match is not being broadcast live here in the UK due to the regulation kick-off of 3pm although a few overseas broadcasters are showing the game so if you do happen to come across a reliable stream then please leave a link to it in the ‘comments’ section below.
We’ve not beaten Hull since 1998 and they’ve been playing some decent stuff of late although they have struggled in front of their own fans. Although not safe just yet it surely won’t be lomg before Hull can plan for another season in the Premier League. Our job today at least is to make them wait a little longer!
Howay the lads!
Hull: Allan McGregor, Liam Rosenior, Alex Bruce, Curtis Davies, Maynor Figueroa, Elmohamady, David Meyler, Tom Huddlestone, Jake Livermore, Nikica Jelavic, Shane Long
Subs: Steve Harper, James Chester, Robert Koren, George Boyd, Yannick Sagbo, Sone Aluko, Stephen Quinn
Newcastle: Tim Krul; Paul Dummett, Steven Taylor, Mike Williamson, Mathieu Debuchy; Yoan Gouffran, Vurnon Anita, Cheik Tiote, Moussa Sissoko; Luuk de Jong, Loic Remy
Subs: Jak Alnwick, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Massadio Haidara, Dan Gosling, Sylvain Marveaux, Shola Ameobi, Papiss Cisse
We want 5 😛

**** me! My link to the game is 2 minutes behind Paul Merson on Soccer Saturday. That’s no good like!
Get in!

Remy’s first touch was fantastic there
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
what chance of Pardew taking Remy off 2nd half and bringing Cisse on ❓
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
No other goals yet in the PL 😯

Nice one Lads 🙂
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Flattering scoreline. Don’t think we’ve been that good. But two good goals.
We’ve taken our chances well, they haven’t..
JJ(Quote)
Man Hull stink … 😎
Munich Mag(Quote)
Remy is a fucking star
MDS(Quote)
JJ we only created one chance the whole half and scored two goals from what I’ve seen.
Two poor teams if you ask me, and the scoreline flatters us …
Munich Mag(Quote)
BB-I’m sure he’ll make an appearance but think it will be more likely to be De Jong on 60mins. Wouldn’t mind hairdrier getting a run out, maybe at right back if we go 3 up or something
Newkie(Quote)
Absolute textbook counter attacking football. I love it
With a two goal lead we are even more dangerous now they need to bring more people out.
I think both our bookings were bullshit and will be dodgy for either Tiote or Mbiwa to do anything rash in the next half.
Tiote has been class with Anita in the middle again.
And just how good was that double save by Krul yet again another moment which is just as important as the goal and im glad to see it got celebrated after the resulting counter attack goal.
Santii(Quote)
well first half we have been a lot better than we have been for a while, I just hope we come out 2nd half and try to improve our GD
Big Dave(Quote)
Agreed Santii
MDS(Quote)
Pleased with what I’ve seen so far. Some nice link up up front considering they haven’t played together much yet.
Defensively we look a bit shaky – as usually the case when Colo is out.
Again – as with Cisse, if we know what the situation is in the summer, then the team we play should reflect that.
If Colo is off then Mbiwa and Willo should start every game
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
Cannot see why people rave about Mbiwa….. the bloke is a liability at times…
Munich Mag(Quote)
…and De Jong is just so lightweight…
But we can only beat what is put in front of us… 😉 😉
Munich Mag(Quote)
So there is only 1 link? 😳
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
Overall we’ve been the better team.
0-2 flatters us but 0-1 or 1-1 would probably be a fairer reflection of the performance of both teams.
The odd thing is i would say both teams have not really tried too much. Some neat passages of play but both teams are capable of stepping it up a few levels.

Freecast keeps buffering for me~ 😥

MM @ 91 i’m the same a lot of ones on here slag the **** out of Saylor for brain farts but for me Mbiwa is worse
Big Dave(Quote)
ANGELOFDEATH try the wiziwig.tv site, few good links on there.

@MM
I think De Jong would be a good permanent signing. He links up well & will be stronger with every game.
Mbiwa is the future captain & heart of our defence. After Colo, Mbiwa is our best centre back, Colo is only better because he has had more experience.
Physically & technically, Mbiwa is better.

STaylor is also very solid with occasional lapses.
I think we should get rid of him because he get’s injured too often
KK(Quote)
FFS
Big Dave(Quote)
That was coming
KIMTOON(Quote)
I’m going to challenge Pardew to let the team have a real go in the second half and not just sit back and let them onto us like we seem to do every fucking game!
As I was writing that they just scored. Utterly predictably pathetic!
Stuart79(Quote)
Game on… they’ve had their chances. This thing ain’t over.
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
For **** sake. We’ll be bricking it now.
Newkie(Quote)
Oh Krul.
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
F**K. here we go
bazza(Quote)
Krul just can’t deal with those kind of balls, he’s a fantastic shot stopper but still has a lot to learn about commanding the area.
Newkie(Quote)
Krul 😳
toonsy(Quote)
KK@98, I couldn’t disagree more mate. De Jong can’t make it in a much weaker Bundesliga, and Mbiwa is a poor defender and a liability.
Munich Mag(Quote)
Dreadful goal, why the hell didn’t Mbwia jump for the ball ?
Munich Mag(Quote)
Not just reacting to that one, but anyone else think that, if a big offer did come in for Krul, we might be best off taking it (not imagining Elliot becoming no 1 keeper)
Gallowgate Terrace West(Quote)
De Jong is afraid to get his hair wet. I hate that in a central striker, the bloke couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag… 👿 👿
Munich Mag(Quote)
Get in Sissoko
KIMTOON(Quote)
Sissoko
Big Dave(Quote)
Get in Lads
well followed up Sissoko
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Great clinical counter again!
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
Yeah baby!
We are having a **** defensive day, but our counters against their three back have been sweet.
Fans Should Own The Club(Quote)
JESUS. What the **** is going oh here!! cracking counter
bazza(Quote)
Yet another amazing counter attack. Its how our team performs best under Pardew
Santii(Quote)
De Jong must be gutted Sissoko got there first 😆
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
Good work lads. I think we are playing well anyway.
Newkie(Quote)
Man what a pathetic goal from a Hull perspective, absolutely pathetic 😯 😯
Howay the lads !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Munich Mag(Quote)
The team suddenly came alive after dreadful first two months of 2014. 🙄 😯
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
come on lads keep at them
Big Dave(Quote)
Now lets get our foot on their throats and throttle the *******!!!! 👿
Stuart79(Quote)
Hull had only let in 10 goals in their other 13 home games.
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
how pathetic was that from a throw in in the attacking third ffs
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
intentional elbow, surely a booking?
Newkie(Quote)
Close de jong

No comments from HBA39 after predicting a thrashing today 😳
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
I still remember this is our lucky jersey. 😆 😆
AngelOfDeath(Quote)
good effort Remy
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
what a pity that Timmy chose now to go through a dodgy patch. Hopefully he can still make it to Brazil…
Munich Mag(Quote)
Anitas starting to look the part
bazza(Quote)
Starting to get a bit sloppy.
Would make a change or two.
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
BB HBA39 was not the only predicting a hammering of Hull today.
Santii(Quote)
Does anyone else think we may genuinely have a chance of signing Remy ? Look at the way he celebrates his goals, he is absolutely out of it. The sign of a bloke who cares… Or maybe he is on 5 grand a goal 😆 😆
Munich Mag(Quote)
MM
I never watched him before he came to Newcastle, but I actually think de Jong has been pretty decent at holding the ball up and winning headers 😯
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
Good save
KIMTOON(Quote)
sweet strike
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Jesus nearly again
KIMTOON(Quote)
fuking hell Pards
Big Dave(Quote)
Pardew went to put the nut on him?

Pardew you *****

Go and get some Pards! Lol

Thats a touchline ban there. what is he thinking we are 3-1 up ffs
