Our injury problems are well talked about, and when you actually look at the numbers.....it's ****ing incredible that we did as well as we did! Of the players who played in the final the games missed are below, bearing in mind these are our best players and only 1 player, Egan was ever present with every other outfield player (McNair aside) missing a chunk of games, 7 of them missing at least a quarter of the season
Pandur, McNair and Egan had a relatively injury free season missing 1, 1, 0 respectively......after that tho
Coyle/Slater/Crooks - all missed 4 games due to injury
Giles - missed 10 games to injury
Ajayi - missed over 20 (incl time away at AFCON)
Hughes - missed 5 games and played through a double hernia
Millar - missed 16 games (10 at the start 6 later on)
Belloumi - missed >20 games across his initial rehad from ACL then 2 further injuries
McBurnie - missed 6 games in a 6 week period
Of the subs
Gelhardt - missed 8 games over the busy xmas period
Yu - missed 8 games
Lundstram - missed 14 games across 3 months
Drameh - missed 13 games
You ****er PLT, you made me cry!Just been listening back to the Radio Humberside coverage of the post-match celebrations and it culminates at the very end in a lovely summary package of the day with Someone Like You as the backing track, and the commentary of the attack for the winning goal is brilliant. They speculate early in the attack that "this is the moment" and seemingly manifest the goal into existence, and the first you hear of the goal going in is Swanny screaming YES repeatedly. Really nice bit of passionate commentary I thought, and a beautiful package on the whole:
Hull City - Celebrations at Wembley (11/05/2026) - BBC Sounds
Celebrations as Hull City win promotion to the Premier Leaguewww.bbc.co.uk
I genuinely can't stop thinking about Saturday.
2016 didn't feel anything like this. The club was divided and I think we all expected the squad we had to go up automatically. We all knew what the Allam's did to the club, but last weekend has really put that into sharp focus for me.
We didn't sell that many tickets and I can't even remember whether we had a City celebration event afterwards. It really felt like the community didn't care. At the time, I was obviously aware of the issues but you kind of forgot what supporting a successful club that was pulling together felt like. Last weekend was a good reminder of how it could be. Hull felt buzzy, it felt like a proper invasion of London again and the celebrations were wild. Then on Monday it felt like the city was proud of the club again.
I wasn't sure that would ever come back after the Allam era yet here we are. What an incredible job Sergej and the coaching team, the players and Acun and the rest of the back room staff have done this season.
Now just don't say you want to change the name of the club.

Will be listening to the final episode, congrats on the great run of episodes that you've had
Yeah, I had a bit of a tear in my eye listening to that but thought it was more to do with not being able to be there on the day, which I regret more than ever now.
I wonder if that’s why I’m still struggling to take it all in and can’t get my head around the fact that we’re back in the Prem!
Peter it was already weird but just stop.
Couldn't agree more ...keep watching highlights and looking back at pics and photos and stuff..2016 was expected too I think, we'd been up there all season and as a relegated team there was a level of expectation that was utterly absent this year, o ly expectations on us were us to get relegated by most pundits!
Personally having my 2 kids there, 9 and 12 made it all the more special, memories that'll last a life time for all of us. Magic just magic
Pete, mate, we get she’s a good-lucking lass but she’s got an OnlyFans. I’m sure you can subscribe and have a Tom Tank without announcing it to us all.
We should encourage all our celebrity fans. She has a lovely down to earth attitude.
Probably a good idea, otherwise he'll end up with one arm bigger than the other...
