A very occasional blog about a football club, Hull City AFC.
Oh Deano. What have you said? One of the club legends, the revered Dean Windarse has come out with a gem today. “It’s Hull City now, but will ‘opefully be Hull Tigers by February”. Guess why he has come out with this? Allam has offered him the prospect of a job as club ambassador. I … Continued
Fellow Hull City AFC fans will be well-aware of our ability to grasp defeat from the clutches of victory, and vice versa. I was super-confident going into this game, so much so that I put a few quid on a 3-0 victory to Hull City AFC. It’s been a while since I have expected victory. … Continued
After the Man Utd game, in which Hull City put in a fairly abysmal performance, there was a thread started on my favoured message board, entitled – “Is it time for Steve Bruce to leave?”. Quite possibly just an attention seeker – the thread’s enclosed poll gave a resounded support for Steve Bruce of over … Continued
The game on Sunday was a perfect example of why the Premier League is a depressing league to be in. A first half where we showed our quality and determination to put right the Burnley abomination – only to be undone by a poor refereeing decision and two pieces of sublime quality from the excellent … Continued
I doubt I am first to express that I had doubts when Jakupovic came on against Arsenal. He didn’t fill me with confidence previously but did commendably – saving some shots which others would not have. Against Liverpool he was again a hero. Reading the forums, it seems that more fans picked him as their … Continued
A few weeks back, I was checking Facebook whilst on the toilet at work and saw a post from Hull City AFC stating tickets for the Arsenal game just £26. What a bargain, I thought. Within 10 minutes my sister had messaged me asking if I were up for it, and one call later to … Continued
So there we have it from Mr Allam (sorry Assem but I changed your salutation, it should help my blog increase it’s worldwide exposure, I am sure you understand) – the fans of Hull City are to blame for the current situation. The current situation being the name change and Allam’s continued threats to give … Continued
When the fixtures came out, the first 6 games seemed eminently winnable so I set us a target of 10 points: QPR (A) Stoke (H) Aston Villa (A) West Ham (H) Newcastle (A) Man City (H) Quite why I thought Man City was a should-win I am not sure but let’s pass over that abberation … Continued
On a day when I should be writing about the first glimpse of our exciting new signings, instead I find myself writing about a new low for the football club I support. For not far off a year, most fans have proudly sung “City Till I Die” as a sign of our pride in our … Continued
Assem Allam spoke for an hour today (though even Radio Humberside got bored after 30 or so minutes of waffling). I have condensed and translated it for you: I am clearing the air so the Russian man does not get upset. This is the future of Hull City. I mean, you know I mean Hull … Continued
