Jesus lives among us.

He saves lives, Phil Brown,

He saves lives,

He saves lives, Phil Brown,

He saves lives.

 

Is there no end to this man's talent ? (or, is there no end to this man's self ego ? )

 

Perhaps at the end of this season, rather than a song, Hull (if he's still there) will put out a large pond on the pitch and Phil will walk across it.

BROWN GETS MORE THAN BARGAINED FOR

Posted 01/10/09 22:54EmailPrintSave

 

 

 

Hull boss Phil Brown claims to have saved the life of a woman while taking his team for a walk across the Humber Bridge this week.

 

Under pressure after a dismal start to the season, Brown has varied his training methods since last Saturday's 6-1 thrashing at Liverpool in the hope of stimulating his team.

 

Among his ideas was for the squad to go "looking for clarity" by taking in some fresh air from Hull's iconic landmark - but the manager got more than he bargained for.

 

"We walked across there on Wednesday," Brown said. "We saved a girl actually - considering her future, shall we say."

 

The Humber Bridge - one of the longest suspension bridges in the world - is a popular focal point for visitors but suicides have not been uncommon since it opened in 1981.

 

When asked how he managed to dissuade the woman from jumping, Brown spoke of "sweet talk" but then added that he did not really know if she was planning to end her life.

 

"You don't know do you, until someone jumps, whether they were actually going to do it," he said.

 

The woman, who claimed "she was 40-plus but looked a lot younger than that", then "tootled off back to wherever she came from".

 

Brown has not been afraid to break with convention in his attempts to engineer results.

 

Last season, with his team facing a vital Barclays Premier League relegation battle at Bolton he took his squad on a two-day retreat to the Lake District - and was rewarded with a crucial draw.

 

This term - again before a game against Bolton - Brown marched his squad through the streets of Hull to the club's dilapidated old Boothferry Park ground. This time they responded with a victory - a result which, six week later, remains their only three-point haul of the season.

 

Now with the team 19th in the table after seven games and Brown facing calls for the sack from some supporters, the 50-year-old wants another upturn in performance for Saturday's visit of Wigan.

 

"Things we have been doing this week have been different," Brown said. "We have done different sessions, not the norm.

 

"It is nice to go out and about, put your face in the headlights, and try to find out what people are saying.

 

"An awful lot of people are saying there is negativity about but I don't see that."

 

Brown has named veteran midfielder Nick Barmby as his new captain in the continued absence of injured club skipper Ian Ashbee.

 

George Boateng, the departed Michael Turner, Paul McShane and Ibrahima Sonko have all worn the armband this season but Brown has now made a more permanent choice.

 

Brown said: "It is something that has got Nicky's name written all over it. He has matured into a leader, no more so than over the last couple of years at Hull City."

 

Former England international Barmby, 35, has started just two of his hometown club's nine first-team games this season, both in the Carling Cup.

 

Barmby feels it is time for the players to dig deep and fight for the manager.

 

He said: "We let him and the fans down on Saturday.

 

"It is down to the players. The manager can bark orders but he is not the one that goes out on the pitch.

 

"It's roll-your-sleeves-up time, we need to start winning games.

 

"We've had a disappointing few days and we've had to clear our heads to get ready for the next game.

 

"But we have managed to bounce back before. We got beaten 5-0 by Wigan last season and bounced back to win the next game."

 

Defender Anthony Gardner, who has missed the last four Premier League games with a knee injury, faces a fitness test before Saturday's encounter.

If she had of jumped, presumably he could have just strolled out and pulled her from the water anyway.

 

What an enormous great tool.

[Superjay]

He came into my missus' cinema a couple of weeks ago.

 

She hasn't the foggyist about football and said there was a fella stood in the lobby who was the most orange person she's ever seen and had what she could only describe as a black version of the thriller jacket on. He walked up to the counter and flashed a massive wedge of cash while placing his order.

 

One of the people in the queue said "Eh up Phil, Willy Wonka must be paying well eh?"

 

He didn't look impressed.

 

Its safe to say even the people of 'ull hate him.

The woman was in fact walking across the bridge minding her own, when this appalling orange freak appeared next to her causing her to leap back in horror, nearly going over the side of the bridge.

 

Then just as she got herself back on the right side of the bridge the freak started trying to chat her up, which caused the poor woman to try to hurl herself over the side of the bridge again.

 

Apparently the orange man tried to sweet talk her by telling her how great someone called Phil Brown is and how Phil would like to take her to his favourite place San Tropez; she presumed Phil was one of his friends.

 

The woman was saved by a bystander who grabbed her by the ankles.

What I love about this is, "Phil Brown managed to convince a woman on a bridge not to commit suicide, the City manager says"

 

It's not like someone else has come forward to say what a good bloke, he's gone and announced it...

 

I really hope it's a lie. It'll make him out to be an even bigger penis
