Come and have a go, if you think you're hard enough!!!

Go on, google Hull City trophy cabinet, you'll see the above picture....

 

Explain how we should've been playing conference football? We were ****e in that period, and in the ****e off the pitch, yet we survived on merit.

You "big" clubs seem to rabbit on about how attendances & histories should save you from the drop- Newcastle did it when we relegated them in 2008. But we did it on the pitch.

And what it doesn't say was 2 years after that playoff semi final v Orient in 2001, City were getting record attendances in the bottom division- 20K on several occasions in a ****e league.

We're a second tier club and always have been. I'm not suggesting otherwise.

I've said we don't care about Leeds Utd, it's the ****s from Hull & EY that belittled City in these times, but the minute you went through hardship (if you could call it that, cos it's nowt in comparison) they buggered off. We're very happy when the gob****es from this area went into hiding. Pity it didn't last.

 

We represent all of Yorkshire so it's obvious why someone from a boring East Yorkshire town would come to us rather than the tinpot no-marks who happen to be closer to where they fell out their mother's uterus (or spend their formative days, or whatever). If they gave as good as they got from the 'support your local team' brigade (even though they'd already made a life choice to support Leeds), then good for them.

My favourite not606 unwritten rules for Hull fans...

1. Never slag off Hull fans from Leeds, even though there are numerous examples thereof. But Leeds fans from Hull are contemptible.

2. When Hull fans come from Norway and Sweden, it's dedication. When Leeds fans do, it's glory hunting (even though we've won nothing since '92 and Hull have been performing far above their natural level in recent years, which we haven't).

3. Hull fans only hate East Yorkshire Whites, not local-based ones... even though they: 1) obsessively hate Leeds' squad ("same old white ****e, always cheating"), 2) sing that they "all hate Leeds scum", 3) refer to Leeds as "TWS" or "the vermin", 4) claim that the majestic and superior Elland Road is "falling down", 5) slander our city, 6) when polled on here, claim us as their biggest rivals, 7) insult out of town Whites who aren't even from their locality, 8) dredge up officially discredited gossip about Don Revie, 9) put FA moneymen over fans by calling us a franchise with no history, and my personal favourite... 10) boo Marching On Together and WACCOE when the Leeds fans belt it out, because apparently they're gay and their 'ironic' pawing actions aren't.

Infallible logic, the lot of it.

 

Anyway, got my tickets to the Humber-based arse end of Yorkshire today for our game at the end of December (another early kickoff, whoopee.)

Be nice to hear the same old stale Savile jokes for the eighth or so time this season. Will there be another pink flare from the Tigers faithful (who are definitely as hetero as they come)?

 

You don't get the irony in the "Tiger Clawing" obviously. We do it to take the piss, then the opposition end do it to mock, but end up looking twice as worse allowing us to laugh at you. When Leeds fans do that stupid gay scarf swinging thing, that doesn't have any other purpose than making themselves look ******ed. Therefore allowing us to take the piss to quite a hilarious standard.

Booing, "Marching on Together" is something I have to do as my family brought me up to hate Leeds... It's sort of branded on me, I can't help but do it.

 

If pretending its not the same club helps you sleep at night...

But I must refer you to my previous comment. The football league recognises us as the same club and so does the entire football community. What makes your judgement so special?

 

Cheshire, I gotta be honest. You did do rather well in avoiding Marko's question but still giving a response....

As he said, the football league recognises us as the same club and so does he entire football community, you didn't respond to this. All you did was say the same thing worded differently and more drawn out

 

I'd have thought Leeds fans would be glad of the opportunity to wipe the slate clean and distance themselves from a side that was mainly second tier, but for blip tainted by allegations of bungs and getting burned trying to play with the big boys.

It should be seen as an opportunity to build a reputation as a football club rather than a laughing stock.

 

Well then you can't say you only hate Leeds due to Hull Whites.

Same fanbase, same club, same trophies in the cabinet and on the records. Just like AFCW and Wimbledon FC.

I've personally met Hull fans from Leeds, so don't pretend there aren't any. Quite a few sprung up in your Premier League day(s).

 

They have plenty of history and the entire trophy cabinet of "oldco" as you put it is still attributed to "newco", as it still exists at Elland Road and is still attributed to Leeds United Football Club. But whatever helps you sleep at night. If you want to pretend a bit of paperwork transcends the spirit and soul of a football club because it makes you feel better about supporting a tinpot nobody club whose most successful period has been matched by your biggest "rivals" lowest period, then go ahead. It doesn't bother me.

 

They have every affiliation. Like I said, a bit of paperwork doesn't transcend the spirit of a football club. Everything is the same. An crooked old man's attempt to avoid paying off some debt does not transcend the spirit of a football club, which is why we all see the two "companies" as the same club, because guess what? They are the same football club.

This only comes into question when you sad hull fans want to convince yourself that we're on the same level as you somehow, when in reality your most successful period is matched by our lowest point in history.

Just get over it, we're not your rivals, Grimsby and Scunthorpe are.

 

AFC Wimbledon successfully claimed back all the trophies from MK Dons.

Your argument is based on a technicality, which only pencil pushing middle management types who wear anoraks really care about.

What a sad existence you must lead.

 

At last, you're starting to face the reality of the position. All you need to do now is realise which of the two example clubs relates the closest to Leeds position.

MK are in an artificial position of the league pyramid, whereas AFC Wimbledon climbed the ladder the legitimate way.

As you rightly point out, MK have no right to the trophies or history and it's MK that are in the same position as Leeds.

 

Considering you're still on here after this long, I don't trust your ability to recognise a laughing stock when you see one. Either that or there are no mirrors in your house.

 

Wrong. You're boring now.

 

"Come and have I go if you think you're hard enough" My arse.

 

This thread was set up to keep dullards like you occupied. Doesn't mean you're any less boring.

 

How long will it take you people to realise that I couldn't care less about the attempted insults?

All it does is highlight how much the truth of the situation really hurts you.
