A very occasional blog about a football club, Hull City AFC.
I dared to question the God-like abilities of Marco Silva a few weeks back, and somehow I got away without howls of abuse – probably because I only have 5 readers. Don’t get me wrong – he’s good, but he’s not Wenger ‘good’. Repeatedly we let early goals in or started slowly. Zonal marking was … Continued
I was going to write about my morbid experience at the game on Sunday, but decided against writing such a depressing post, and write about our wonderful owners instead. Firstly, I’d like to thank Dean Windass for getting me an internship at the club. I am truly excited that our progressive, modern owners have seen … Continued
Saturday’s performance and result wasn’t entirely unexpected by the faithful. Twitter had plenty of people concerned about the potential for #TypicalCity to make an appearance. I was confident of victory. Fairly confident, anyway. But not confident enough to mention so on Twitter. And aware enough to be tempted to back us to lose 3-0 (I … Continued
I was confident that we’d win today yet I still had that niggling feeling in my head, especially when I saw the formation and team line-up – one man up front again. Why such a defensive set-up against Watford? The start of the game was quite frankly crap. We regularly start games with episodes of … Continued
From my memory, it seems like we’ve had a few of these this season, Southampton and Swansea particularly stick in the memory – though my memory is failing quicker than my liver. The first half today was littered by mistakes, especially in possession – passes going astray that really shouldn’t have done so. Not only … Continued
Apologies, slightly click-baity title but I do have a good theory. You may have noted that there have not been any rumours recently about Chinese consortiums taking over our beloved football club. Whilst the natural assumption would be to blame Ehab for not wanting to sell the club, maybe there are no potential buyers any … Continued
I read an interesting article earlier today, proposing that football should be brought into line with other sports such as rugby, cricket, etc and allow for drinking in the stands. Now I love beer. And I would love to be able to have a drink whilst watching the game. And I love equality – it … Continued
Before I start, this is not the beginning of the Silva-Out campaign. I welcomed him, as did almost all fans as a breath of fresh air, and hopefully a tactical advancement upon Phelan. He has made some impressive signings, he speaks well and seems to understand English football. However he has made fatal errors in … Continued
£10m for Jake Livermore was one thing. A good player though £10m is probably around what he was worth. £10m for Robert Snodgrass is a fucking joke. Snodgrass is the heart and soul of the creative side of the team. Granted only 3 assists, but 7 goals in the Premiserable League is a very good … Continued
It seems a little churlish to be moaning about our owners when there was an exceptionally serious injury to Ryan Mason during the game last night. I walked into the pub not long after the collision to see that there was a player seemingly out cold. It took a while to work out what had … Continued
