SOUNDBITE: (English) Steve Bruce, Hull manager (about new signings Shane Long and Nikica Jelavic)
"The good thing about the two of them, they both know the Premier League inside out, they've both played in it for the last few years so we envisage that it will be no problem to them. Let's hope they come and get the goals that we need to make sure that we stay in the division."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Steve Bruce, Hull manager (about Crystal Palace coach Tony Pulis)
"He's not everybody's cup of tea but certainly when you look at the facts and what he has achieved, particularly at Stoke, then you realise that he's got a lot going for him and certainly Palace have responded, certainly since the turn of November and December, they've put an impressive string of results together. Full house it will be, I am sure, difficult atmosphere, difficult place to go and play, always is, and Tony's sprinkled his magic on them and it's going to be a hard game."
