Saturday's late kick-off features Hull City's most successful manager in the opposition dugout as Steve Bruce's Aston Villa give Leonid Slutsky his first taste of English football. Villa should be bolstered by the signing of John Terry, whereas the Tigers are still in a rebuilding phase following this summer's asset stripping.
Kick-off at 5:30pm UK time with coverage on Sky Sports Football from 5:15pm.
I don't like hull but seeing john Terry flop in the championship would be hilarious. So up the tigers
Asher Watson
let's see if EBJT has still got it
Cooper Hill
>Hull's most successful manager is Steve Bruce
Wow... what did he do again?
Levi Gonzalez
battled the eygptians barehanded in the kc
Liam Torres
Two promotions and a cup final.
Josiah Johnson
considering how much villa have spent how do they still manage to have hutton and agbonlahor starting their first game of the season
Grayson Bell
not the lineup i was expecting desu but looking forward to it
Cooper Jones
Shit game or great game?
You decide.
James Lopez
Took Nigel Pearson's team, promoted them and took all the credit.
Sounds familar.
Elijah Harris
>No Nerman >No big signing I'm with Ligue 1
Brandon Murphy
That's complete and utter rubbish.
Cooper Morgan
pearson is very good at building championship teams from scratch
Carter Hughes
Wolves fan reporting in to watch the Villans get mawled by Tigers
William Lee
would be funny if john terry had a cardiac arrest and died on the pitch
Ethan Hughes
Hull mongs can't admit it because they all hated him for some reason. Probably the low IQ within the area.
Cameron Thomas
>Luton 8 Yeovil 2 (90+9)
kek
Logan Lopez
Teams always play well after Pearson leaves.
Logan Morgan
Tigers? More like ostriches.
Sebastian Peterson
I'm a Hull fan and even I literally haven't heard of half our team/subs today.
Ryan Young
>2 league titles >Carlisle and Southampton great escapes when just given weeks to manage the side
I don't think so motherfucker
David Diaz
i'm like this every season but only because I hate the transfer circus with a passion
Jordan Hall
Pearson's football was boring as fuck. I accept he stabilised the club well after 09/10 but he was going nowhere.
He resigned because he fell out with the Allams, like most sane people do.
The most important players in the 12/13 season were Bruce signings.
Jaxson Adams
Do the players always have to interact with Villa fans from the safety of a caged enclosure.
Joseph Thompson
>Agbonlahor is still stealing a living as a professional football player
Charles Hughes
i think in this instance it's probably for the fans safety
Elijah Cooper
Waving Jimmy Glass up for that corner is still the highlight of his career.
Alexander Barnes
Hull bls.
Henry Phillips
Yeah I can see some wives in that photo
Jason Torres
Thar rolex is fake
Isaac Davis
Why would he wear a fake rolex.
Jeremiah Price
So brummies don't rob him.
Hunter Nguyen
...
Benjamin Reyes
Oh. That does make sense, fair enough.
Alexander Wood
THIKKKKK
Henry Diaz
Lee Hendrie looks like a reanimated corpse.
Thomas Ramirez
who /preston/ here?
Luis Garcia
Real match thread with real teams.
Levi Butler
Watching pre-season over actual competitive footy
James Ramirez
are gabby
Cooper Wright
Going to be a long season lads. Need bodies in.
Michael Collins
1-0 to Aston Villa Steve Bruce is showing how happy he is by turning the colour of beetroot
Connor Ortiz
who /lost/ today
Ethan Carter
It's 1-0?!
Why was that Irish shit on to for so long?
Chase James
Anyone noticing the empty seats in the upper tiers?
Ryder Rivera
>Championship games are now on ESPN3 feels good, wont have to deal with shitty Bein Sports anymore
Jordan Cooper
Watching literally whos instead of the next prem winners, Liverpool.
Charles Smith
>in a friendly game against opponents from a pointless league in Europe
Aiden Russell
>cancel contract with BBC Humberside because Ehab is a massive incompetent bellend who can't handle an ounce of criticism >Replace them with the shittiest local radio station imagineable who won't ask any difficult questions about players or whatever
Half hope we fucking liquidate
Nicholas Rogers
When you were relegated last year I'm actually surprised there wasn't a violent revolution
Lincoln Butler
Unfortunately all these last few years have done is create mass apathy, we'll probably barely get over 15k for our first home game.
Wrapped up with the lack of concessions for the elderly, young and disabled, we're going to lose a generation of supporters again like we did in the 90s. Hurts.
Dominic Hughes
I feel pretty bad for you, a little biased because the missus is a hull fan
I hope you get these power-mad idiots out soon, they've made so many ridiculously callous decisions for your club
Henry Hill
not too shabby, gabby
Dylan Mitchell
why is elmo getting booed?
Zachary Roberts
...
Anthony Thompson
Bravo, Ehab.
Because he played like a cunt past two seasons.
This defense is completely disjointed. Daws playing utter wank.
Elijah Gutierrez
bye hull
Jack Morales
Villa should be up by 3 goals already
Ethan Miller
Hutton playing well for Villa.
Nicholas Jackson
because he is black
Joshua Gray
what else do you expect from the scottish cafu?
Grayson Rodriguez
this is awful
Luke Rivera
I predicted Hull 5th for this season. Oh dear.
Adam Perry
how did hull manage to get slutsky? either the allam's lied to him about recruitment or he's fucking mental
Hunter Long
he's fucking mental by the sound of that blizzard article
David Allen
I thought villa fans hated him 2bh
Christopher King
I'm hoping for any finish above 22nd.
Samuel Johnson
are you mad? have you seen their team la, its deeed. I actually think they might get relegated straight to league one
Jackson Jackson
Man Villa so old it hits the 65 min mark and they will be insisting on their pensions
Jose Flores
Considering he's been over here in England for a year or so, I actually don't think he was in-demand so took us up.
He was so furious at the training camp in Portugal about players leaving to be sold, that he had to be talked out of flying back to ask Ehab what the fuck was happening.
Jonathan Reed
i vaguely remember reading a couple of articles about him a while ago (probably around the time of the euros) and he did sound a bit odd
Tyler Reyes
21 ok?
Lucas Thompson
When I saw them last season they were incredible in the first half and then absolutely knackered by 70 minutes. Hull comeback could be on desu.
nah, he used to be shit but he's been decent since last season.
Caleb Robinson
wew, owlstalk is fucking incredible right now
Cameron Hernandez
Certain russians have an attitude of there being honour in doing menial work. I suppose Hull would count as that, for a guy thats managed in the CL knockouts and the Euro Championships.
Elijah Bell
This is it lads. Villa is going to win Championship this season then the Premier League next season. Villa resurgence soon.
Justin Barnes
He's not had very many seasons where he played week in, week out, since he left rangers in like 2010.
Jeremiah Cook
Thikk.
Juan Ward
I'd push my nan into traffic to have Kelly shit my mouth
Aiden Barnes
Is there even a remote possibility that Birmingham will get promoted?
Carter Anderson
what would your mom think about this post, friend?
Oliver Rivera
Anything that prevents back to back relegations.
Absolutely bewildering that the owners have repeated last year and not bothered doing anything until they were forced to.
Leo Long
they only survived by the skin of their teeth last season
Owen Phillips
only if 'arry manages to sign the 12-15 extra players that he 'needs'
Ethan Powell
watching in a pub full of blues fans lads good banter flying around
happy with our performance so far, hull are fucking shit
Aiden Taylor
>VILE
Anthony Hernandez
Called it.
Michael Lopez
BOWEN O W E N
Hudson Taylor
...
Hudson Gray
>happy with our performance so far, hull are fucking shit
Jack Nguyen
That dimb ass steward trying to fight Bowen
Landon Ramirez
>mfw as soon as i put a cheeky bid on vilel they start losing
Brayden Moore
all of my mates that support blues say no and they think 'arry is going to resign soon because the board won't give him any money
personally I think they have no chance of getting promoted but anything can happen in this league suck your mum
Blake Gray
I put a tenner on Hull at half time. Now I've said this Villa will win 3-1.
Jacob Adams
Wtf. Why a defensive sub when villa are clearly spent
Jackson Reyes
COME ON U ULL
Xavier Rivera
looked like campbell was injured to me, hopefully it'll free clucas and henriksen up a bit
