I think it's fair to say that most of us agree with some of what Twf'y says, it's just how he says it sometimes, and also the other bits of crap he packs it out with, just to make an impact! If he were to just stick to the post, sometimes, without the vitriol against certain members of the current management team, he would probably have more posters on his wavelength!!!!!
If he wasn't so pedantic in his tunnel-vision, then he would get more on his side, than against!!! But, that is just my thoughts!!
TWF sees mostly home games and from that he reckons we've had a crap season. I (due to work commitments) have only seen 5 or 6 away games this season (mainly when we were **** away as well) and as such I also feel we have had a crap season.
All 3 league 1 sides are above us and they have **** squads. Swansea and Burnley are above us with **** squads. I've left 90% of matches this season pulling my hair out at how ineffective and tame we are. Even when they look like they're really going for it and are working hard and as a team they can still only muster a couple of shots a game.
The Allams and the Pearson's have done a great job sorting things out off the pitch, but on the pitch we've been nowhere near good enough in a **** league.
I'm really looking forward to next season when hopefully NP will have sorted things out and we will play some attacking football and score some goals. But for now, just as TWF says, we have been **** at home and there is no avoiding it.

Saturday had end of season written all over it, probably not worth the ã18.50 train fare from York to Hull! Lets hope for better next season chaps. As for TWF not looking forward to next season, wait and see how we improve the squad first before making an assessment!
Only managed to get to 7 games this season (thank god for Tigers Player).
Of those 7 games we scored 13 goals and let in 7.
4 wins, 3 draws and no losses. 15 out of 21 points (over a full season that would have been 99 points and a GD of +39)
5 away games and 2 home games.
So from what I've seen we've been great! Maybe that's why I have amber tinted glasses when thinking about this season.

If he gets anyone siding with him then it's just a little more unrest, one more to start booing or another to just sit on their hands in an ever increasing library.
It's got nothing to do with the management or the team or our results - we have made massive strides this season from near collapse due to financial mismanagement to a top half finish with real potential for the future.
The creeping cancer in the club is the plastic fans who want instant success, who boo their own players and leave the stadium early to rush home to post their vitriol.
The unfortunate thing is, 77, that if you look at the rest of the Boards, the cancer is there also! You have "fans" who want players/ management/ directors shipped as they believe that that will improve the results/ style of play/ finances of their Club. IMO these fans will always be "half full" fans, not, "half empty" ones!! But at the end of the day they do not make the decisions, the owners do, and sometimes, thank feck for that.
We, as a Club, have come a long way since the dark days just 12 months ago, let alone 16 years ago, when the Club was teetering on the edge of extinction, but now there is an Owner who appears to want the Club to thrive, a Director who is doing his utmost to maintain that goal, and, a manager who is able to work under the tight constraints that the previous, and, future 12 months are going to bring, yet still bring in exciting players to make that goal achievable.
As has been said by many, but denied by a few, the future is not going to be easy, or straight forward, but, it will not be dull, and I, for one, look forward to it with excitement!!

I think you are spot on in your observations and yes there is still a lot wrong and it is not going to be such an easy ride, as some think, next season.
I honestly think though that football supporters can have a profound impact on a game. Why else have we such an amazing away record yet the same team underperforms at home??? It must hurt players to hear some of the negative shyte shouted at home games???
Time was, mate, when if our team was behind, or, not performing well, the "fans" would raise the volume, but, now the "fans" shut up, or, hurl insults, rather than get behind the lads!! It's the "instant gratification" attitude crowd now-a-days! A great man once said it's not what your country (team) can do for you, it's what you can do for your country (team), maybe the "newby's" should learn this!!!!
I think that the biggest problem at home is that we're too defensive. Saturday was the first game at home for a long time that we've not played 2 out and out defensive mdifielders (2 from Chester, Evans and Harper), and although we were ****e first half, we looked to attack.
Also, Nigel hasn't seemed to learn that playing 433 hasn't worked for us all season. It needs to be Fryatt with McLean OR Simpson, not all 3 at the same time.

I think all seater has caused the problem. Those who always sing or would sing spread all over and therefore the sound is diluted.
Answer to problem unrestricted seating area. Dont think any ground has the volume it once had now all seater.
Schalke and Dortmond in Germany been the perfect example of standing areas.

Let's all just accept that TWF is a stupid **** who know nothing about Hull City Association Football Club OR the Hull City team.
