Worra load a ****e. The name change is finally seeping into the dressing room. **** me the players dont give a **** about the name. We're losing games simple as that. There was no big protest at the game it wasnt a turning point whatsoever. There was no singing of we say no allam. All there was was a load of ****s bottling it as bad as the players and walking out cos they dont like the fact we're losing games.
Thanks for posting that OLM. That was a pleasant hour spent in Melbourne, listening to Hull accents talking about the club and our current predicament. I'm afraid Chaz misses the point - the players aren't necessarily playing so poorly because of the name change nonsense but the obstinate single-mindedness of the ownership is preventing the club from focussing on how to deal with our on-field management issues. Anyway, thanks again. It was a pleasure to listen to a reasoned and passionate conversation about Hull City.
Some valid points about lack of effort from the players etc. The one thing that struck me though was the comment about putting bananas in a fruit bowl with apples. Since when was that not allowed? Maybe allowed is the wrong word.... advisable then. I have always put bananas with apples and always will, no matter what Les says. Saying that I am genuinely concerned that I have been making a fool of myself for years with my lack of fruit bowl etiquette. Have people been laughing at me behind my back after seeing my fruit arrangement? Are grapes allowed with tangerines? Are they?
Nothing to do with etiquette my friend, if you put them together, the apples cause the bananas to over-ripen.
Why am I finding this out now, in my 42nd year? Words cannot express how foolish I feel. All these years without a clue, I have just checked and fortunately we don't have any bananas in at the moment. Thank the Lord for small mercies and all that.

I think I'll print that off and get the wife and kids to read it as well. They need to know the consequences ethylene can have if not controlled properly. We all do. Cheers for that OLM.
I am only aware of the banana over-ripening issue, as while putting the shopping away once... Mrs OLM - Don't put the bananas in the fruit bowl. Me - Where the **** else am I going to put them? Mrs OLM - Anywhere but in the fruit bowl. Me - You taking the piss? Mrs OLM - No, apples turn the bananas bad, everyone knows that. Me - Well I didn't know that. Sometimes the conversations in my house are utterly riveting. Not on this occasion, obviously.
No, no, no, it's the bananas that make the apples bad, not the other way round. Bananas give of ethylene, which assists the ripening process, but apples are ripe when you buy them, so accelerating the ripening process will just rot them. That's why you have banana hooks. "I have always put bananas with apples and always will, no matter what Les says." Even now you know better?
**** yeah!!!!! I'm one of life's irresistible forces of anarchy and rebellion. I once ate a donner kebab out of a bin, an overipened( I'm not sure that's even a word) apple caused by an ethylene omitting banana does not even register. It, literally, means nothing.
Going back on to the topic of the thread, Huddlestone is the one being singled out by all the pundits, even the Guardian podcast crew said he is about as good as a chocolate teapot in a relegation fight, not to mention they added that we 'stink' of relegation. There are better managers than Bruce about but it's the players application and injuries that are killing us, not just his occasional mistakes.
Fame at last... Amber Nectar @Amber__Nectar Lots of podcast feedback, but this on Not606 trumps all: "I have always put bananas with apples & always will, no matter what Les says."
Being the rebel I am, I would always actively encourage anyone to place a single banana in a fruit bowl with 2 apples, arranged in such a way to resemble 'cock 'n' balls'. This is sure to raise a laugh at any gathering, and generally pleases everyone.
It's a real crowd pleaser is that one Party and a jape that Carmine thoroughly advocates. It's old school cool in way of genital based pranks, a tough one to beat.
