    Hells Bells.......

    Thats what i thought watching on the tv last night. Even Forest had 3 chances they should have scored from.

    Why did NP only name 6 subs ? Thought Waghorn was going to be on the bench or did he pull out late on ?

    Not as though NP is short of players is it ?

    My favourite ever memory of Leicester is the season when they went down to League One and we beat them 3-0, I remember Deano laughing at them on the pitch as they were so ****e- Andy Kings Crown Jewels is the internets biggest bellend

    He would have been, had he not dishonourably jumped ship down the league (that's a dig at him rather than Leicester) just for some more money. And lied about it.

    He took over us in the summer before the season started, it was under his stewardship that we were near the bottom of the table (albeit briefly, and it was obviously never going to last)

    Nigel set the ball rolling for what he have now, signed some great players and got rid of most of the deadwood, but he never actually took us into the playoffs, which Barmby did almost immediately after taking over and has kept us there. Also, whilst we have him partly to thank for the excellent footballing team we have at the moment, we also have him partly to blame for our predictable, impotent reactions to going a goal down which has haunted us for over a year now.

    Yes, he wasn't rich enough to take us any further so he sold us to someone who appeared to have more money, we immediately got promoted and it seemed like a great decision (only when the mysterious state of the new owners' finances was revealed did it become a bad situation). He then returned as an employee rather than owner (meaning his lack of relative wealth was no longer a problem) to save us once again, and succeeded.

    I haven't seen the game, but I gather you played good football. We do that every week and we create around 20 shots most games. The only thing keeping us from the top 2 is someone to actually finish them off.

    You want to talk about lucky results? Those 3 1-0s you mentioned couldn't have been any less lucky for us. We had something like 40 shots across the 3 games and conceded 3

    I know it's the banter thread but seriously, I think it's you who underestimate us. Our league position whilst good, is pretty unflattering. Look at the stats, we dominate every game we play in. Seriously, stick a Nugent or someone like that in our team and we'd be top.

    That's witty then.

    You should try mocking the fish trade that took place over 30 years ago in Hull, that always works.

    My favourite memory of Hull is Joey Gudjonsson scoring from the halfway line. One of the best goals i have ever seen live

    Possibly, he has started shifting a few players, some are out on loan, Fernandes has gone back to France, Schlupp is injured and Bamba and Pantsil are in the Ivory Coast team. I guess Waghorn still isn't fit enough.

    My favourite moment recently was Pearson squirming on the touchline as Leicester got their arses kicked by a much better team that he left behind for the sake of a few extra bob

    2-1 when you had an extra man for 60 minutes? <laugh>

    Not quite what i'd call 'getting their arses kicked'

    Pearson was talking about delusions of grandeur. I didn't realise he meant you.

    What a state of affairs when the manager taken on at great expense (when the other options turned it down) sees you in such a low, yet accurate light.

    Some sensible responses for once. If only all the Hull fans could have your approach rather than the bitterness fueled hatred we get on our forum constantly. OK you're a bit biased, but that's what being a fan is all about.

    I think they have had their contract/loan cancelled, as they are not going to feature, Kennedy is Balls replacement (who was on the bench) and Johnson didn't need replacing as we already had an over packed central midfield.
    Oh and Andy King was injured too last night.
    The only other person that could have been on the bench was Liam Moore (youth player) but hes cup tied from when he was out on Loan.

    EDIT: also Vassell is out for the season.

    I had wrongly assumed it was rats deserting a sinking ship, must of got you mixed up with Leeds. It's an easy mistake to make I tell you.

    You can say that all you like, but have a look at the stats from that game, we had something like 65% possession and you hardly touched the ball in the entire second half. It was one long 43 minute assist ;)

    Also, the red card happened because Mills couldn't fairly stop McLean, it's not like the gods just smiled upon us or something. It was just.

    To be honest, if you didn't get 64% possession then it'd have been bad on your part.

    Also, I and many people who support other clubs agree that Mills' red card was seriously harsh. Penalty yes, red card? No.

    To the letter of the law it was a red card.

    I would say that the rules should really be changed so that a foul in the box cannot be considered 'professional'. Simply because, it can't really prevent a goalscoring opportunity, there's still a penalty so the opportunity hasn't gone. A penalty is justice enough.

    But since the rules haven't been changed, I'd expect the ref to implement the rules of the game, and he did.
