    Makes sense, he did get a League One team to the semis.

    I notice Pulis has got Manager of the Season. I don't like the twat, but completely agree with that.

    Pulis won the Premier league Manager of the Season but Brendan Rodgers won the LMA Manager of the Season award.


    Not sure how that works though.

    Because they can't stand to see a big club go without a manager award.

    Here's something to consider

    Our run in form has been blamed on the players having an eye on the final.

    The players gettin arsenals faces early and remind them it's only a couple of week till the World Cup.

    You only need a cpl of players pulling out of a challenge in fear of missing out for the game to open up for city.

    I assume most of the arsenal squad are going to Brazil

    Will have about 30 City fans crammed into the pub in Sydney! Absolutely pumped for this and can't wait. Got a flag and scarf from the club so going to have those in prominent positions in the pub, and will tweet some photos as the night goes on, hopefully can get some songs going and make it a really decent atmosphere. :)

    Probably not. We just bought a farm back in November so the bank account has plummeted quite a bit from that. If we hadnt bought the farm I would have come over for it. My girl's student loan payments are about $1,300 a month so I will probably have to wait a couple years until they are paid off to come over and watch some games now that we added a mortgage to our expenses.

    Just watched Meyler's interview. He is definitely up for it. Has lots of family and 11 school friends coming over who will be wearing Hull City shirts with 7 on the back. Think he will be praying harder than normal in that centre circle on Saturday.

    Too bad you couldn't make it mate. I'm sitting in Seattle Airport right now ready to board my Delta flight to London. My gout has chosen this moment to act up so it'll be killing me on the 10 hour flight but I'm dosing up on Allopurinol and Tylenol and hope the old ticker holds up till we hit Wembley on Saturday. Win or lose its going to be a fantastic occasion and I know the lads are going to fight like Tigers to win the Cup. NOBODY should take this one as a walk over. WE ARE HULL CITY!!

    Bummer re the gout. Means you probably will have to be the only sober Tiger there!

    She has unknowingly stopped me from seeing City live more than once. I was going to take a job in London right before I met her so I could go to games. Then later I was going to go for a couple weeks, then she asked if I wanted to move to Cali and by a farm. Then we buy a farm right before we have the best season of our existence stopping me from watching the final live. Eventually I will make it there.

    I think the biggest indication that we're going to play 3/5 at the back is that he stuck with that throughout Saturday's game even once we went further behind. Although, I think he might go 3/6/1 or 5/4/1 when they've got the ball:

    MacGregor
    Elmo Davies Bruce Figueroa Rosie
    Koren Thud Livermore Meyler
    Fryatt

    I don't think he'll risk McShane, as he doesn't look ready.
