Hull fans cheekily mock Joe Cole and Man Utd during Tigers’ dream return to Prem with 2-0 win

By AsiaEurope


Hull City fans cheekily mock Joe Cole and Man Utd during what ended up being the Tigers’ dream return to the Prem with a 2-0 win on Saturday.

Goals from Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy had everyone inside the stadium and watching the live broadcast in disbelief, with Marcus Rashford being brought in a bid to try and spark a United comeback.

Despite Man Utd dominating possesion in the second half, Hull held on to pick up a huge three points in their first game in the top flight since 2017.

Earlier this week, fans hit back at the ‘tone’ Joe Cole and Carlton Cole took in predicting Hull City for relegation from the Premier League.

In the latest episode of the The Dressing Room Podcast, the former footballers give their thoughts on who will finish in the bottom three.

And while fans fully expect Hull to be tipped for relegation, it is how it came across, the laughter, and comments, which riled viewers up, labelled it ‘disrespectful’, especially considering they’re pundits for TNT Sports.

In Hull’s win against Man Utd, the City fans were heard singing “Are you watching Joe Cole!” along with other chants, “Mauled by the Tigers” towards Man Utd and their fans.

It then got worse for United fans, when the stadium announcer announced them, that the 15.03 and 17.03 trains back to Manchester hadbeen cancelled. “You’re going home in a taxi,” Hull fans sang.

Here’s how fans reacted while Hull fans cheekily mock Joe Cole and Man Utd during the Tigers’ dream return to the Prem with a 2-0 win…

@kylehcafc: Can I just say now, the whole team has been unreal, Belloumi having his fun, looks to be dancing around players, Slater is everywhere, looking like prime Iniesta. Tzolakis so calm, no matter what type of save he has to make. Sergej is a genius, respect on his name NOW! And this is not our strongest line up by a long way, we’ve still got 5-8 players coming in with loans. We are in by no means done at all, the majority of our match day squad was there last season. We do love an opening day don’t we, last one double bicycle kick against the champions, so far we’ve played United off the park, the look exactly the same to the teams we played last season, low block system goated #hcafc

@Fx1Jonny: I can’t believe this is what we’ve produced as a 1st game back performance against newly promoted Hull. Carrick needs to fix this and fast. #MUFC

@BabsTrevor: Guarantee the back pages and pundits tomorrow will focus entirely on how poor Manchester United were, rather than giving us any credit. It’ll just be the usual ‘United were awful’ narrative. #HCAFC #HULMUN

@kevinmc23316741: WHAT A DISGRACE 🤬 2–0 TO HULL CITY! Manchester United getting beaten by a newly promoted side on the opening day is absolutely pathetic. Same old problems, same lack of fight. Embarrassing from start to finish. 🤦‍♂️

@notsafehands: Really tough watch this. A promoted team away from home first game of the season is not ideal but this has been so poor from United. They’ve looked absolutely clueless for large parts and not what I expected at all. Not taking anything away from hull, they’ve been brilliant.

@mercurialblonde: Game management from Hull has been fantastic. What a result for them. Don’t know how many wins they will get this year. But excellent effort and organization.

@Ginkohro: Can’t believe the biggest team with full of world classed players like MUFC as their fans said just to get humble by Mighty Hull City 👏🏻👏🏻 #EPL #HULMUN

@AfcGrey_: United fans saying “it’s only Coventry” to Arsenal fans yesterday just to then get absolutely EMBARRASSED by Hull today. From title contenders to relegation fodder in 90 minutes. The most deluded fanbase in England deserves this humbling. Beautiful.
