    In the play offs but still complaining we didn’t get automatic promotion.

    Hover over your username at the top right of the page. The last option in the right hand column is 'people you ignore'. If you select that, and start typing the name into the box at the bottom, the username should appear and let you select it.

    Just read a post on Championship site on Facebook. Swansea fan complaining about our young dick heads throwing coins at him and his 7 year old daughter. When they left about 12 hooded up dick heads still waiting and couple had knives. Really upset obviously. These little ****s carrying knives FFS. Cowardly bullying twats.

    There seemed to be a bit of needle between some of E2 and some of the Swansea fans from before kick off then throughout the game. Looked like six and two threes really. But knives?! That's a whole different level of scummyness.

    There were a lot more of the sour faced little pricks than usual at Paragon as well I thought

    I can't help but feel with a couple of decent purchases over the summer we could be up there in 23/24 skirting around the final playoff position. Seems to be a few others who are of the same opinion in the ranks for the dark horse pickers.

    And therein lies the reasoning behind Rosball

    Enjoyed yesterday's game - 2 decent teams trying to play good football, 2 well-worked goals (ours possibly our team goal of the season?) and we were a little unlucky not to win the game with Ozan going close twice in the second half. At HT I expected Swansea to throw the kitchen sink at us since they had to win to maintain any interest in the play offs, but we generally kept them at arms length.

    They had stats on sky last tine we were live and at that point under Liam we were 10th, so that's about right. We have improved but not to the point of promotion challenging as yet.

    So hard to predict, yes if we bring in 3/4 quality players then we have to be optimistic. However a number of other clubs such as yesterday's opponents Swansea will be thinking the same thing. Very important summer transfer window and hopefully better luck with injuries will give us a good chance.

    Listening to the Swansea commentary yesterday gave an interesting perspective.

    Overall, they were complimentary of our style and loved young Harry, but variously described us as 'playing in the Swansea way but just not as well' and like a 'mini-Swansea'. They pointed out that Swansea have been playing out from the back with a pacy passing game for a couple of years and that we are someway behind their standards.

    Taking this all with a pinch of salt, it was a reasonably fair assessment. However given that both teams are going to finish fairly close together in mid-table you can argue that we've performed better, coming from a lower base and in less time.

    It'll be interesting to see how both teams recruit over the summer and start next season. If either have aspirations towards promotion (and I'm obviously only really interested in us), then signings are going to be absolutely key. As others have said, new fullbacks attuned to Rosie's desired style and a goalscorer should be priority.

    Oh, and a big ugly bastard alongside Seri.

    Because I've stood on the terraces ( sat lately, obviously) at football stadiums up and down this country following Hull City for 58 years. Been in some of the roughest pubs and dodgiest of situations, some where I shouldn't have been in several cases. The home pub in Southampton springs to mind, how i got out in one peice is still a mystery to me, same at Sunderland away when Guzzler of Goolies fame invited 200 of them, in their own back street WMC to look at my Hull City flag. In fact I could add a couple more chapters to the City Pyschos book. I wrote the first bit of it for those who didn't know.
    The only time I have actually seen a knife/blade flashed in front of me was in 1968 on Bunkers Hill v Crystal Palace, and it was big big ****er. The police politely asked the beer monster waving it about to kindly put it away and not be so stupid. I had a gun pulled on me once on the top deck of a corporation bus by a Fulham fan in the 70's after a game at BP. It could have been a water pistol too but I wasn't going to argue the point with them. But that's another story.
    Point I'm making is that has anyone ever heard of anyone getting knifed at a Hull City game? because I haven't. That is why I doubt that this Swansea fan saw not one but two blades pulled out after yesterdays games. Highly unlikely IMO.
    Footnote. I do recall a mate of mine, Kev Ferry better known as Fez, and the first lad in Hull to get a mohican hair cut, getting stabbed at the Old Den, Millwall, when there with City, back in the day, well over 50 years ago, when you did get trouble at football. Just thought of another, again 50 years ago perhaps? Little Harry Watson got stabbed in the street before a pre season friendly at Scarbourgh.
