What they're saying
"

For the number of crosses we put in the box, we didn't look like scoring - and Hull, in fairness, looked far more likely as the game went on. With Manchester City away next week we may be waiting a while until the first points on the board. Chris: Hull's start is a testament to teamwork, preparation and self-belief, NOT expensive individuals, presumption and the arrogance displayed by teams that wrote City off before they kicked a ball.
