I was surprised to see over the last week or so, some prominent and usually ultra-skeptical Hull City AFC fans talking as if the takeover of Hull City was a formality. I was not surprised to read that it has…
The World Cup Boycott Starts Now
I have watched almost every England game since I was a child. I used to have a delusion that we could be the best in the world – nowadays I have construed an ability to delight in disappointment. But the…
New Season, New Look
I decided that I should smarten up the blog. What was just a temporary layout and design stuck around unwanted, tacky and unloved – a bit like Jimmy Bullard. But much cheaper. I’ve added an automatically updating league table, results…
Rugby Is OK
I’m going to my newly-local stadium today to watch rugby league for the first time since, oooooh, 2013, when we lost 16-0 to Wigan. Allegedly I was also there in 2008 when we lost to St Helens, though I have…
Protest Number One

SELL SELL SELL
So we’ve finally done some transfer business. And sold our Wembley hero. I’m fine with it. I really am. Diame often went missing, was often injured, his first touch lacking. He was a touch of class, especially in the Championship,…
Winter Break?
I’m trying to work out if we should have a winter break. Firstly, I would just like to point out that Ehab will still be a wanker in winter. He will still be a most loathsome character whether we have…
Thank You Steve Bruce
I remember being initially disappointed when we appointed Steve Bruce. Partly tinged with diminishing anger from the way Barmby had been treated (an initial insight into the future impetuosity of our owners), but also recalling that he didn’t stay manager…
