Can't wait for the game, should be a cracking atmosphere (hopefully). I can see it being 0-0 for most of the game with a team knicking it at the end.
the ultimate fence sitter.. but I agree it might be cagey although there's a lot of build up.. if Watford "go for it" Elmo & Brady will tear them apart.. I expect a chess match..
How tight is the League this year? After today's games Bolton in 8th place have 54 points - the usual holy grail total required for staying up whilst Huddersfield in the relegation zone have 47. I can't remember it being so close with so few games to go. A win tomorrow and that will put the pressure on Hull for sure - a loss and we can try and pick who we want in the play-offs. I notice Burnley got a taste of their own medicine today which is a shame as I would have liked them to hold on against Forest. Still, all the usual suspects dropped points so less pressure on us tomorrow night
2nd place is between Hull and Watford now. Palace might only be 2 points behind you, but their form is unlikely to turn in time. Tomorrow night will define both our seasons. May the best team win....
It will be unlikely, if you play a front 3 we will outnumber you in midfield. You normally play 3-5-2, don't you? You did when we played earlier this season.
A quick glance at the table sums this one up. Win, and the two of us battle until 4 May, draw and if current form continues, it's Hull's, lose, and the play-off lottery here we come. What a game!
Hull catch Cardiff Leonardo? Come, come how much the bet my friend? officer, check this man out, his head has gone!
Like the last time you played the Tigers in a similar match eh? 6-1 aggregate score. And its Hull City AFC by the way, not Hull AFC. Hull FC are actually a rugby league club who happen to share the KC Stadium with us. Be wary of them. Some alarming lack of respect shown on this board towards Hull City. A team doesn't stay in the top six of any league since September by grinding out boring 1-0 wins, as you would love to do yourselves. They usually do it on merit. In a way we beat you in your own backyard earlier this season when you were touted as 'unbeatable at home/scoring for fun/etc/etc' Things to look out for tomorrow. 1. Its freezing cold 'Up Narf' 2. We still have snow on the ground and the coach park is two foot under water. 3. The 'pitch' resembles a ploughed field. We have adapted to it. 4. You don't actually pay our benefits at all. 5. We paid for ourselves to get to your place, despite most of us being lazy unemployable northern scumbags. 6. Not that I'm stereotyping or anything, we expect and laugh at visiting fans who call us that. 7. Not that many 'visiting fans' actually come to Hull. 8. The Forest game which someone refers to was a freak result for them. Two attacks from them, two goals, on another day we would have murdered them, as we did Birmingham the week after. The same Birmingham who played palace off the park on Saturday. 9. Its still 1970 in Hull. 10. Enjoy your free day out.
1. Er - yes they would - they're not likely to slip down the table by continually picking up three points, are they? 2. Who on earth touted us as that? At that point, we had only won five out of eleven home games, only scoring fifteen in the process. The 'scoring for fun' was all done away from home - as you will hopefully find out tomorrow.
No.5 raises an economic question - are the folk of north London doing it that tough they can't afford to pay for a trip up north... See if you can persuade the coach drivers to stop at frydays - then you will have had a great night regardless of the result
Yes and the 6-1 ...was a completely different era..... times change fast in football.. BTW we aren't all coming on free coaches.... I shall be driving over from that foul cesspit called Leeds
A) Watford is as much north London as Hull is Scunthorpe - and the free coach travel was put on as a counter to Hull changing the match from its original Monday kick off, purely to ensure that at least some of our fans get there. B) Frydays? IIRC, that is only a minute's walk down Vicarage Road from The Vic - cant see the coach drivers agreeing to that.
So grateful many thanks I must say when Hull beat us in the play-offs.... many of your fans clapped our fans at the end as we were so gutted.... a nice touch
It's gonna be a cracker. I went to the reverse fixture and if Watford set up the same way, then I can see City winning this one. If teams try and play 3-5-2 against us, it usually backfires horrifically. Watford are a counter-attacking side, but we have a much better defence than the teams that you've been smashing by 3 or more goals and Hobbs/Chester/Faye will definitely be able to handle any Watford counter attack. We've had our home game where the away side scores 2 out of 2 chances and we have a shed load of chances but don't score so we're due to get back to normality against you. I'm fairly confident and reckon it'll 2-0 City. Gedo and Boyd to score.
