Hull City v Leeds United MATCH THREAD

Wrong catch phrase

Or are you letting me know something about yourself?

 

Mud and sand,Eric !

 

buckets and spades then !!!

 

I thought this thread was gunna be worthy of a look, but then someone brought up that fat ****, Chris Moyles as a reason why one teams better than the other.

FFS! I've heard better arguments from a bunch of bains.

 

You should read it all I do believe It was a fellow hull fan that mentioned Sir Chris Moyles first.

 

I'm quietly optimistic, though i'm confident we'll keep a clean sheet

 

Hull City 1
Leeds United 3

 

Love Hull fans bringing things up then other Hull fans complaining about "Leeds fans going on about...".

 

You just have to love Chris Moyles. Witty, original and oh so I interesting. He comes across as such a great bloke.

 

You're absolutely spot on there OLM

That pic must be snide- Leeds fans aren't shirters!

 

This is a bit daft. We could say the exact same thing. Generally this season we've created several chances in every game (the 4-1 at your place was our worst performance of the season and we still had 5 or 6 good chances!) the thing is we tend to miss them. From a City point of view it will come down to finishing as so many of our games do. We are terrible in front of goal though; if your strikers get 3 chances and ours get 10 you will probably win 1-0.

Excellent post Dutch. Leeds are massive if all you consider is the periods of time when they were massive. If you only consider 2007-2010 then Leeds are a tiny club and Hull are massive. However what matters is now and we are currently ahead of Leeds with a game in hand. We've also got a good youg squad so I'd argue if a new season started tomorrow we'd have a better chance of promotion than Leeds. Either way, TWS really don't have much to brag about here.

Yeah shame that's bollocks. I seem to remember a thread just like this went on for days after the game with very similar topics discussed. Just because we lost it didn't suddenly mean you lot were all right about how massive you were and how insignificant us and everyone else are. If we lose on Tuesday I'll still be on here, probably explaining why I can't stand that bloody Snodgrass and the rest of your team of dirty buggers.

Yeah we were such a joke. It was hilarious when we were top of the PL after a 3rd of the season, when we stayed up despite how certain it was before a ball was kicked that we would do a 'Derby', when we beat Arsenal at their place (before it became cool), when we scored 3 at Old Trafford - the first team to do so since Real Madrid years before. That just took the piss.

You haven't noticed that the whole country hates Leeds then? It isn't a local rivalry thing (that's why you don't hate us) it's a dislike for all that is wrong with football. Historically and right now, the Leeds way is bending the rules in any way possible to achieve success. Also, as I've pointed out many many times on these forums, being hated is not a good thing. Hull City fans don't want you to hate us and it isn't an insult to tell us you don't care about us. Many teams have their local rivalries but no club is so unanimously disliked to the extent and for such good reasons as Leeds are and have been.

If we're doing immensely incorrect comparisons, did you know that local non-league side North Ferriby's average gate is actually higher than the total number to pass through Elland Road this season? Not many do.

It really isn't that simple. There's a reason we're above you having played less games. We both think we should be higher and should have won more games that we drew, both sides probably think they will win this game if they play their best but it can't work in both cases.

Well said scooter. Our team are young so people haven't heard of them and as such they're a lot better than they will get credit for.

This thread is ridiculous. It's full of Leeds fans claiming to be 'discussing the game' but basically being the most arrogant set of ****ers possible. I know it's what we've come to expect from this lot but ffs this is cringeworthy. You're the best team in the league on your day apparently, yet you can't even begin to comprehend that perhaps other teams play well sometimes too. We are literally one good finisher away from promotion this season and there's a very good reason we're a few points ahead of you with games in hand. Your team is littered with cheating twats who do exactly the same things to inspire hatred that your players of the Revie days did and yet you want us all to listen to how you're the best team in the league without debate? This attitude is the exact reason everyone hates your horrible club!

 

Really? You spent so long typing that?! Look at the beginning of the thread, it's Hull fans predicting an easy win, we do the same and get called arrogant. None of us think we're the best team in the league, I merely stated we're the best team in the league when we play to our full potential, but we very rarely do so I can't say we deserve to be any higher than we are. Of course once again my words will be twisted into an example of a typical arrogant Leeds fan. Now FFS talk about the game instead of how much you hate us because really we don't care and I'd quite like this to actually turn into a match thread.

 

Even when you try to be rational and state that you're only the best team in the league when 'on your day' you fail to recognise that the same could be said for any other team. You aren't good enough to simply say 'if we play like we can, we'll win' because other teams can play well too and their 'best' (which you probably haven't seen, certainly in Hull City's case) might be better than your 'best'.

This match will probably be tight, I'm not going to pretend I'm overly confident because I do worry about playing Leeds with the away crowd behind you and we are perfectly capable of throwing away any game by missing every chance we create, as such I have no prediction, only the hope that we win.

 

Yep I checked. Hope it helps.

 

A lot of Hull fans on here seem to suffer with a footballing equivalent of penis envy, when the reality is that both parties are below average

 

I wouldn't say Leeds fans are arrogant

If they were a top 8 Prem side, they might come across as arrogant.

But they're not- they're a middle of the road Championship side - check the league table for proof.

So any talk of how good they are is not borne out by the facts

All clubs believe their side is a bit better than the table shows, and most clubs' fans jokingly talk up their team.

But most Leeds fans seem devoid of any sense of humility or irony.

Despite spending more time in the third tier than the Premiership in recent years, their fans continue to behave like it's the other way round.

This makes them the object of ridicule and dislike for supporters of other clubs.

Please understand this is not 'jealousy' or 'bitterness'.

It's a bit like having North Korea playing in the Championship.

 

Is your day a Thursday?
