    2-4 vs Man City.

    What is true is that we didn't get beaten by more than 3 goals. 0-3 was the first.

    Don't sell proven Premier League strikers for £12m to then sign unproven utter ****ing ****e for £10m. The £2m 'Profit' we have left from the Long deal will soon be eroded when we shift in that Uruguayan ****ing donkey for his true market value - probably £3m. Which would give us a 'loss' of £5m on the deal.

    We have a truly horrific track record of signing strikers. We MUST get it right this season with whoever comes in. You need a good striker in this division to get promoted.

    5 should be) Don't alienate the entire community by making amateur sports teams - some of whom are for young people - homeless with barely a few week's notice from a facility that isn't yours, all when claiming that improving community sport is your motive behind getting involved in the first place.

    6) repeat 1-5

    Is it time to give Adam le Fondre another crack? He turned us down once but surely now he'll be cheap and eager to prove that this last season was a blip.

    Edit - didnt know he'd been on loan at Bolton scoring a respectable 5 in 10 in a **** team battling relegation. Get on him, Cardiff will be eager to sell.

    We certainly need someone - probably at least 3 strikers that know this division well. Cameron Jerome was a steal for Norwich. Campbell at Palace maybe - he's a twat - but he'd score at this level.

    Not a mention of the off field distractions.

    6. Why get promoted anyway ?

    I will probably get crucified now for lack of ambition but really, do we need to be in a league where success is judged by not getting relegated, or if your really good you might finish somewhere between 8th and 14th. Call me mad but i would be quite happy playing chamionship football and perhaps the odd season in the Money Grabbers league to boost the coffers occasionally.

    Any old excuse for the agenda monkeys to stir it up again.

    And what expert punditry credentials does the blogger have other than having a blog page?

    After the half hearted attempt at Europe and the distinct lack of effort in the cup competitions
    ,and the shockingly poor attitude to throwing away points late in league games .
    I could see the writing on the wall in October I predicted a big capital R against our name at Tottenham away.the injuries did spoil the long term aims but Bruce should have had a contingency plan to cover all eventualities .I do feel snodgrass was a massive loss his enthusiasm to play was evident in the European games he rolled up his sleeves and looked as though he was really enjoying himself playing for city ,unfortunately he was one of few who we can say that about this season .i think some of the new signings attitude
    this season was summed up on sunday when the only thing unable Hernandez could hit in the box was a sly cowardly punch into phil Jones
    And that is certainly not what we pay our money to see.
    Give me a team of honest grafters over a team of over paid primma donnas any day

    I have said this before but here goes again. Our major problem is possession - or lack of it. Look at the stats throughout the season and we often have only a 30 or 40% share. Without possession the defence soaks up pressure and then there is the possibility of defensive errors occurring. You can't score without the ball. In fact, ou can't even play without the ball.

    None, he doesn't claim to.

    But I bet you wish you were that articulate.

    I think you can add to that, that we're quite static. At times we look like one of those table football games. We tend to pass to feet rather than gaps, so there's little movement off the ball.

    Your post doesn't show a lack of ambition, just a heavy dose of reality. After years of stagnation and false dawns Hull City AFC has grown into a mid-sized football league club, we are where a club of our (present) size is meant to be i.e. lower end of the PL, comfortable Championship side ............. where we're heading in the future? God only knows .........................

    I agree. The Europa campaign set the tone for the season. Something looked very off right from the start.

    How about try defending to the end, or bringing on personal to help in that quest..or tactics to help
    12 pts dropped from winning positions deep into the 2nd half....Stoke, WHU, Newcastle,Arsenal, Man C, Sunderland, dropping 12 points because we couldn't defend...Those 12 points would have had us halfway.....

    Don't let SB sign our new strikers leave it to Phelan or the tea lady anybody but SB.
