....but do we have more than most? Last night, I was the most irritated I've been at game and that's in well over thirty years of following City home and away. Some clueless ****er was slagging Fryatt from the minute the whistle was blown, up until him scoring the goal. Shortly after which, I turned to him to say 'well that shut you up, you ****er', but he'd already gone! If you were that person, would you please find yourself a large metal spike and impale yourself on it at your earliest possible convenience, thanks. Beside me, was another ****er, who in fairness to him, was as thick as pigshit('Liam Rosenior, his Dad has gone home' aren't the words you knob). He didn't restrict himself to one player, he managed to slag them all off one by one, including Rosenior early in the second half, despite him just having had a great first half. If you were that person, you don't need to impale yourself on anything, I saw the bird you were with, you've been punished enough. Not enough that my game was ruined by being surrounded by halfwits, I then get in the car and listen to unadulterated nonsense from a bunch of clowns who didn't even see the game, talking bollocks on Blunderside. Of all the numerous calls, texts and tweets, there were only two points made that had any merit. Firstly, the text that said Koren should have stayed in the middle, with Evans moved out wide. And secondly, the texts from all the people that simply stated that all the previous contributors were idiots. Then I come on here this morning and see TWF's normal slating of all things Hull and all things Hull City, things that I'm sure will have been repeated by the Hull FC wum who claims to be James Lodge on the HDM site(I'm not going to punish myself by checking). We're playing well, we're sixth in the league, we've just been on a nine game unbeaten run(and we didn't deserve to lose last night), if people can't be happy with the way things are going at the moment, then they'll never be happy. Sometimes, I despair.
I had a remarkable evening having tea with Pele, then texting Blunderside to say how **** we'd played and that Pearson should be sacked following such a poor performance, even though I wasn't there to see it, the score line says it all. Was a very satisfactory night I'm off to support Man City now, anyone know where I can get a cheap shirt?
completely off the thread topic, but each time I see the title I somehow think that you have invented a new musical scale (Every Good Boy Deserves.....and all that)
Good post OLM. There was a guy who get very pissed off at some bloke in a wheelchair (both city fans), I couldn't tell what he was so upset about but he eventually told the disabled fan to take his hat off and leave the stadium, and then started singing that we needed more seats. So it must have been some sort of seating issue.
they are now selling em cheap in in Bangkok, and Islamabad I believe. nobody seems to want the man utd ones any more for some reason
Last night was just one of those matches where nothing was going to go right for us - be it Fryatt's penalty miss, (which looked to be a great save rather than bad penalty) to McLean's tremendous overhead kick which if it had been our day would have smashed the back of the net. Hell, even the seating farce was the worst I've witnessed - I was the first in the ground last night and mentioned to the stewards that I reckoned there wouldn't be enough seats available. Why did it take them until half-time to sort it out?? I agree we looked disjointed with Evans in the middle and Koren on the wing - we really need Koren commanding centre-midfield whenever possible. However, overall it wasn't a terrible performance; it could easily have been 5-5 and the fact was it just wasn't our night. Now let's look forward to Saturday and beating the Hammers!
Clearly Nige didn't think we had enough out wide to leave Koren in the middle. Hopefully with Pusic, Stewart and Garcia coming back it'll sort itself out.
I must admit I can't understand why some people turn up just to have a go at our own players , maybe they get some kind of perverse enjoyment out of it
"....I was the first in the ground last night and mentioned to the stewards that I reckoned there wouldn't be enough seats available..." I wondered what all that was about after half time. we STOOD (yes I said STOOD) at the back so wondred what was going on. did it make a difference. after they moved the black stocking and suspenders seperator, no body seemed to move anyway as most were STOOD!!!!
There was barely enough space available for everyone to even stand and enter the stadium at the start of the match, yet when everyone started standing in the aisles the stewards were still ordering them to go and find seats that simply weren't available. I personally have no problem standing at all but do agree with individual choice. The organisation from the stewards and police was **** last night.
Leicester away the first time we were at the Walkers springs to mind. Fortunately I'd bought my ticket in advance that day so I got straight in 20 minutes before the game and found our section full. 20 odd minutes into the game the people I'd arrived with who were pay on the day got into the ground through the 1 cash turnstile just in time to see the stewards moving the segregation blanket things for the 3rd time because they refused to believe us about the size of the queue outside.
Well said OLM, some of these clowns need to piss off and realise how far this team have come. 9 games unbeaten and a fantastic performance by Barnsleys keeper last night let that end, so what? Move on, lets start a new unbeaten run. I'm sick of people slating Fryatt, Hobbs and McKenna. Fryatt is our number 1 goal threat ahead of Koren, he is the natural finisher, which again he showed last night scoring his 4th of the season, yes it should of been his 5th but agains Steele did well to save the penalty that should never of been in the first place. Hobbs is being over shadowed by Chester, rightly so, but doesn't mean he is the worst defender on the planet. He is great, gets stuck in, gets head to it and organises the back line. 23 years old for christ sake, he is always improving! He isn't the match winner, he just isn't, his job is to protect and offload as well as organise and get the ref on our side. He's not gonna score 10 goals a season, so stop expecting it! Not every player has to score 10 goals a season, if they did they certainly wouldn't be playing for us! The real City fans need to get these mugs sorted, stand up and sing for the lads, get behind em. Lets stop these idiots from calling for NP's head!
Their stewards were as useful as a chocolate fireguard that day. I had tickets but most my mates didn't. Took them a while to get everyone in. Remember the Sheff Weds game the season we went to Hillsborough and won 4-2. City fans were still coming in at half time.
It wasn't just the penalty with Fryatt though, he missed loads of easier shots than the one he eventually scored. His finishing is just far too inconsistent, particularly for someone who is meant to be our number 1 goal threat. I'm not saying he was crap or that I don't rate him any more, just I think he should have had a few last night. Hobbs I completely agree on, he made an absolutely fantastic clearance from almost inside the goal last night with the ball in the air and I'm certain it would have been knocked in if he hadn't somehow cleared it. McKenna I still haven't formed a proper opinion on but he seems to be a very good passer of the ball from deep. Kind of doing the job Bullard did at times.
When i was at work this morning, they said Evans had a poor game. Hobbs was class last night- sounded like he had a few chances at the other end. What's this City becoming a threat from set pieces? Dudgeon sounded like he did well as well. Not the best performance from Chester or Basso. Just hope the scouts of gone off them now after this. Might be a blessing us losing
