Keep On Protesting

I welcome the meeting last night offered by the Allams, and also thank HCST for their continued efforts in trying to bring a positive way forward – not just by attending this meeting but their repeated attempts at dialogue with the club. Whilst the more vociferous protesters may have forced the Allam’s hand, if it … Continued

Should There Be A Truce?

I’m an optimistic person.  I wrote to the Hull Daily Mail in 1996 arguing that if everyone in the city got behind the club, that we could end up in the Premier League.  I still believe one day that we will be playing Barcelona in Europe. Alas, as per seemingly fucking usual, my mind is … Continued

It certainly doesn’t feel good but 21 points will take us to the magical safety bar of 40 points.  This is 7 wins, in case … Continued

Win One, Lose One

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
