A very occasional blog about a football club, Hull City AFC.
It’s been a while since I posted. I wasn’t exactly secret last year in that I was quite happy to get relegated. I wanted us to win more games, score more goals and there to be a happier feeling around the club, amongst other positives. It seems I got my wish. However not being in … Continued
This is not a match report. There isn’t much point in me trying to match the eloquence and detail of the Hull Daily Mail. Actually…scrap that. There isn’t much point in me trying to match the eloquence, humour and detail of Amber Nectar. Other good match reports also available. So on the rare occasion that … Continued
These are my predictions as to how the tables will finish this year: 1 Arsenal 2 Liverpool 3 Man City 4 Chelsea 5 Man Utd 6 Swansea 7 Stoke 8 Tottenham 9 Crystal Palace 10 Everton 11 Southampton 12 Aston Villa 13 Norwich 14 West Brom 15 Leicester 16 Bournemouth 17 Newcastle 18 West Ham … Continued
When I heard about the excellent name change decision, I started to think about what happens next. It is one thing the FA saying no, it is another stopping the Allams from changing the name. Knowing the Allams like we do, my presumption was that they would do anything but take notice, and be arseholes … Continued
Ahhh expectations. The bane of my life. You know what it’s like, you save up for a really big night out that you’ve been looking forward to for a couple of months, your favourite DJ/band are playing, you have a great selection of drugs/friends/whores with you and the night is just ok. Or maybe the … Continued
A brief post on the Hull City Supporters Trust website got me thinking. Are ticket prices ruining football? The post mentions the very meritable actions of Bradford City (who by the way are my tip for League 1 – excellent value at 16-1 too) in reducing their season ticket prices to £149.00. That is £6.47 … Continued
I hope you are enjoying your Saturday afternoons. Free to do whatever the wife wants you to do for 2 whole months. Now the dust has settled, I have decided it is time to take a look at the squad and see who I would like to keep, and attach my personal transfer value to … Continued
I’ve had enough. Our beautiful game has been continually degraded in the pursuit of money over the last couple of decades. It has, of course, seen the quality of football, footballer and stadium comfort increase. There are many benefits to the increased flow of money into the game, but also many drawbacks, especially when we … Continued
Yeah I know, our promotion from the Premiserable league to the Championship seems ages ago. I went straight into London afterwards, 17 hours and two nightclubs later I was flat on my back, starting to feel the comedown – a bit like our players. Or at least those who cared. It has taken some time … Continued
At first I thought, “just one line”. But then I decided there was no reason to stop there. Let’s do lots of lines. More and more lines. Before I knew it, I had several paragraphs. I’ve seen lots of angry messages on Twitter about Mr Livermore. It is an understandable reaction. I wanted to take … Continued
