I've settled on a club to follow for the 2009-2010 English Premier League, and the winner is...
Why Hull?
Well, they feature up and coming Team USA sensation Jozy Altidore (on loan from Villareal)...they're a smaller club just promoted two seasons ago and barely avoided relegation last season (I always pull for the underdog)...I don't know anyone who is a Hull supporter so I'll be unique in my neighborhood...cool colors and nickname (The Tigers) will appeal to my 13 year old soccer playing daughter...so Hull it is...
The Tigers opened the season two weeks ago with a 2-1 loss at (I Don't Want To Go To ) Chelsea...followed by a 5-1 pounding delivered by Tottenham...but then this past weekend a glorious home win against Bolton 1-Nil...I caught the highlights of this match, noting that Altidore had a couple of good chances to net his first EPL goal...I think he will break through soon...
Hull is in action tonight against Southend United at home in a Carling Cup match. Many of Hull's regulars will have the night off, giving second line players a chance to show their stuff...anyone making a good impression tonight could find themselves in the lineup Saturday against the Wolves of Wolverhampton...
