I read that earlier. I think it shows that some are still out there to play the game.

He has a point though, Hull City Association Football Club is a mouthful and Hull City Tigers will probably be easier to market in Asia, much like why Cardiff changed kit colors.

Why not just 'Hull City'? Nobody call themselves .... .... football association or football club. Southampton Cruisers seem ok?

They will be referred to as Hull City, the same way no-one calls them AFC now

So, what is the point of the Tigers bit? Sounds stupid and to Americany.

Southampton was founded as St. Mary's Young Men's Association F.C., then changed to St.Marys F.C before becoming Southampton.

So its not a new thing or foreign owners that change names.

They already have 'The Tigers' on their club badge and a picture of a tiger, its their nickname and club mascot is a tiger, its not 100% random

It sounds like something akin to a NFL or NHL franchise

PSG somehow draw 1-1 at home to Ajaccio. They had 34 shots. Appalling finishing.

Lazio landing them in trouble over racist chanting by their fans AGAIN, do they actually ever intend to do something about the racist element of their support

Seen on the northstandchat that Barry Fry apparently turned midwife and delivered Craig Mackail-Smiths baby the other day... The mother, Amber, is Fry's daughter... he met her when playing for the POSH. Apparently they couldnt get her to hospital in time so grandad Fry took matters into his own hands and did the honours.

Congratulations to CMS.... could never meet a nicer guy in football.
