FRAIZER Campbell could be in line for a shock return to the KC Stadium, according to the Daily Mirror. The ex-Manchester United youngster, who was with the Tigers on loan from the Red Devils in the 2007/08 season, could be reunited with former boss Steve Bruce as he looks to leave relegated Cardiff City. Campbell's tally of nine goals for the doomed outfit this season has seen him attract several admirers and he is expected to leave the club who finished bottom of the Premier League table. Reports today suggest the Tigers are in pole position to land the 26-year-old in a cut price £800,000 deal, as Campbell has an escape clause in his contract. Bruce tried to sign Campbell before he joined Cardiff 18 months ago and he could rekindle that interest after working with the England international during their days together at the Stadium of Light.Arsenal planning victory parade too soon?Arsenal's plans for an FA Cup victory parade are well underway – five days ahead of the final against the Tigers. Traffic notices have already been served in Islington with the Gunners planning an open-top bus parade for Sunday, the day after the Wembley showdown with the Tigers, reports the Daily Mail. Arsenal made similar plans in 2006 before their Champions League final against Barcelona in Paris. Arsene Wenger's men were beaten 2-1 and the parade was duly scrapped. The club's last bus celebration came in 2004 following 'The Invincibles' unbeaten Premier League season. They did not parade in the wake of their 2005 FA Cup victory over Manchester United; incidentally, this was the last time the club won a trophy. Too soon for planning, Arsene?January transfer window 'saved City's season'The Daily Express have compiled their end of season review for Hull City, and have credited the signings of Nikica Jelavic and Shane Long as crucial to the Tigers' fortunes. "Hull got a dynamic new striker partnership in January when they brought Shane Long from West Brom and Nikica Jelavic from Everton," writes columnist Ben Jefferson. "Not only have the pair scored important goals for the Tigers in the second half of the season, it was also a signal of Hull's intent to do whatever it takes to remain in the Premier League."

HYPERLINK THIS PLEASEHubbard hopes he can watch both games AND finally, Steve Hubbard is a Hull sporting hero who knows all about how to win cup finals – but in five days time he faces a massive dilemma. Hubbard has supported Hull City all his life. Yet he will always be remembered for a try which gave Hull KR a famous victory against Hull FC in the 1980 rugby league showdown at Wembley. His beloved Tigers play the biggest game in their 110-year history when they take on Arsenal in the FA Cup Final on Saturday, but the momentous match clashes with the Super League Magic Weekend derby clash at 5pm. "It's ridiculous" Steve told the Daily Mirror, who scored 72 tries in 122 appearances for Rovers. "I want to go to both. I mean, City have taken more than 100 years to get to the Cup Final and when will we ever have a chance to see that again? "But Rovers-Hull is a huge game. Ideally I'd want to go to both." What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.
