Hey everyone, I have been away for a couple of weeks and from reading the forum everyone is quite understandably downbeat and disappointed with the last couple of results. After the position we were in 2 weeks ago we should never have been in this position and it will be criminal if we let this opportunity slip. But amongst the disappointment we have to get behind the lads and back them until the final whistle on Saturday. Our task certainly isn't easy but it is not impossible and we have to believe that we can achieve our goal. Hopefully Brucie will have brought them together this week and given them the belief that they can recapture the form and performances of most of this season. The players certainly owe those fans who went last weekend and to themselves for how they have worked so hard over the season. If we don't get what we need on Saturday then so be it, but we have to believe we can get there.
 
I dont know about anyone else but I'm past despondent now and am kind of apathetic to be honest or even resigned to the play-offs. Which if anything is probably worse and the last emotion we want to display to the team come Saturday.

My overirding thought in all of this is "How typical of Hull City". There isnt another team in the land who would do this to its fans, taking a seamingly unasailable lead and doing as much as possible to make sure it goes down to the wire.

If we had a club motto it should be: "Always make things difficult".
 
I'm quite relaxed at the moment, but I know come 12:45 on Saturday I'll be ****ting bricks for 90 minutes.
 
Don't know if it will help anyone's nerve's but Cardiff are 3/1 with the online bookie's to beat us on Saturday. They obviously don't particularly fancy them. They have us at 10/11, im with the bookie's and believe we'll win!!

That motto is definitely Hull City's.

At the moment feeling so despondent that I feel like writing off the rest of the season and just starting again next season.
Can build up no enthusiasm for the playoffs.
For me it as to be won on Saturday.

I will be there again next season, no matter what, supporting the team that is Hull City.
but if we fail to gain promotion I will never forgive or forget the individual players who bottled it this season.

Man U did a good job of it last year, but I guess with them they know they'll always be there challenging and winning it more often than not.
 
The thing about "Belief" is that it's hard work. That's why the inbred cultural "Loser" attitude of people from Hull always prefers to be pessimistic rather than optimistic.

To believe and be let down is psychologically damaging as compared to being unbelieving whereby if things don't work-out you can always seek refuge in the relative safety of "I told you so"!

When we went to Wembley, I had no doubt in my mind whatsoever that we would win. Whether that was due to what had gone before, or the psyche manipulation implemented by Brownie or some kind of cosmic Karma, I don't know. It was easy to believe.

This time I have no positive and no negative vibes at all. I think it is really too close to call. So I will definitely "believe" because who knows, that might make the difference and I am prepared to risk being let down because the prize far outweighs the cost!

Come On City!!

I think you'll find most fans think that of their clubs.

Hello DR nick
 
it's a characteristic of football as a whole not exclusively Hull City. How do you think Cardiff felt after bottling the league for the last 3 seasons or so.
