    Okay we failed in the play offs in the last 3 seasons but we still had the opportunity of getting to the Prem through those means.

    In those 3 seasons if someone had said, "You needn't bother if you don't want to". Would we have said, "Fine, no problem we won't take part this season as it is not fair on the club in third place"?

    Like hell we would have.

    It was a killer when we failed but at least we had the chance and our season and hopes were extended longer than the team in 7th.

    It's an entertainment business and the playoffs are top box office.

    As the op says I'm really looking forward to them this season and I can't wait to see who'll manage to join us in the PL

    Its sooooooooo nice not having to worry about the play offs im actually looking at the teams in the mix to see who will miss out.

    Watford, palace, Brighton and ??????????? These last 2 games are going to be huge for Leicester Bolton and Forest

    You don`t fail if you make the play offs you fail if you finish too low or worse in the bottom three.

    Three teams miss out in the play offs not one.

    Can you come back and try again the following season like we did that is the question.

    If I was a hull fan, after looking myself in the mirror and contemplating what I was doing with my life ;), Id be bloody nervous.

    Hornets have to be buzzing?!

    Watford (in form) beating the filth will mean Hull have to beat the champs and end a stuttering patch.

    Probably some worried Northerners about!

    Well I had my money on Watford beating Leicester, and they didn't disappoint, would love them to pinch that second Auto spot of Hull, great club and fans, and top manager, I wanted Zola at the Liberty, but we went for Sousa, at the time. and the Watford boys on here are top draw too!...........<ok>





    PS: You lot could learn a lot from them!..................<laugh>

    No need to worry, we have decided to let you beat us so we can have a wonderful party atmosphere at your place, you are going to the Prem.
    Now wipe your tears, get to the game and cheer your boys home.


    PS: You will owe us 6 points next season for this kindness.

    I swear SBIFF,the team weve morphed into, if you score three own goals,i'm sure we'd score four.

    I must admit I'll like to see Hull get 2nd but I don't want us to lose the last game, can we rely on Leeds to stop Watford ? You never know.

    Rely on Leeds to stop Watford, nah, we'll lose 3-0. I'll go as far as saying the away Leeds fans will cheer Watford on

    I don't see anything other than a Watford win. If Hull are going up they'll need to earn it by beating us.

    TFFT!!!
    Loved the playoffs of course when we went up at The Millennium...hated them ever since for some reason...:confused:
    I will enjoy the spectacle this season though and be able to relax with a calm glass of red or a cold beer and no stress for a change...:D

    Only the tossers from East Yorkshire will.

    Other than that City v Leeds is nowt special, and isn't a rivalry.
