HUDDLESTONE SHARES THOUGHTS ON ASTON VILLA GAME

Derby County saw their six-match unbeaten run in the Championship brought to a premature end by a resurgent Aston Villa side that defeated them 3-0 at home.

The Rams came into match with so much confidence, going unbeaten in their last six league outings. That unbeaten run included wins over fellow promotion favorites, Sheffield United and just relegated West Bromwich Albion, as well as a well-deserved draw on the road at Middlesbrough.

Watford defeat a good wake-up call for Tottenham Hotspur – Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino believes his side received a very good wake-up call after they suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at Watford on Sunday. The north London giants had gone into the game on the back of a morale-boosting 3-0 win over Manchester United on the road but their performance against Watford was far from impressive.

Speaking after the defeat, Pochettino highlighted that he was disappointed with the team’s application on the playing field and feels the team cannot concede for the title with such performances, he said: “It is so painful to concede two goals like this, it is so painful because the first half looked like a friendly game. I am very disappointed, very disappointed because if you want to be a contender…it is so difficult to understand because I thought we controlled the game in the first 45 minutes. We conceded two goals that if you want to be a contender you cannot concede. It is the beginning and it is a very good wake-up call for everyone.”

Tom Huddlestone says his goodbye to Hull as he joins Derby County

After having spent 4 seasons with Hull City, Tom Huddlestone has reached the end with the English Premier League club which recently suffered relegation after having finished at the 18th spot during the season of 2016-17.


Hull City will now have to compete in the English League Championship without Tom Huddlestone as he joined Derby County for a fee of €2 million on a 2 year long contract.

The English midfielder has been performing with Hull City since 2013 and during this time-lapse of 4 years, Huddlestone appears to have developed a close relationship with the fans, players, technical staff and just about everyone that plays any kind of role in the club and he made it clear just how impactful they have been for him after penning an emotional goodbye letter which read:

“I have to say a massive thank you for the past four years. It’s been a bumpy ride along the way but enjoyable none the less.

WEST BROM CHASE HUDDLESTONE AFTER LOSING DARREN FLETCHER

Premier League side West Bromwich Albion are reportedly chasing Hull City star Tom Huddlestone after rival Stoke City snapped up Darren Fletcher.


The Baggies are seeking a replacement after Fletcher agreed a two year deal with City last week. The 30-year old Huddlestone has a contract clause that could see him exit Hull if they were relegated from the top flight.

With the Tigers exiting the top flight, West Bromare keen on signing him as his release clause is £2 million. Huddlestone joined Hull from Spurs in 2013 for £5million. He agreed to two year contract renewal last term so his deal is in its final year.

With Hull set to spend time in the Championship, the player is likely to exit KCOM stadium. The player was quite emotional when the club was confirmed relegated after their loss to Crystal Palace.

West Brom boss Tony Pulis is hoping to replace Fletcher without another experienced player. They finished in the top ten last term and want to replicate the form at least and possibly push up higher. Read More
