    By my reckoning that brings us about even for the Januzaj stamp by Meyler, now we owe you another for the punch.

    They're a rotten club and the manager obviously encourages all the cheating .......

    They scored against us yesterday and the linesman flagged it offside correctly, Bruce's face was like watching a ruined pie being presented to a judge in a bake off.

    I don't know why people ever thought United owed him anything, he's a ****ing chump as far as I'm concerned he stopped playing 20 years ago for us. If we had to look after all our ex players we'd end up getting relegated!

    TBH Terry, I'd be feeling quite annoyed with Bruce if I was a Hull supporter.

    He seems to harp on about Man Utd at every opportunity .....
    .... never seems to mention Sheffield United, Huddersfield, Wigan Athletic, Palace, Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic <whistle>

    Don't take the piss. That really is the pot calling the kettle black.

    Your clubs renowned for it's players causing violent attacks on the opposition. Keane & Cantona (opposition fans in his case) come straight to mind.

    All right Hank.
    Sorry for you, and the other decent lads, that it ended so badly. Bit of a relief for us though, since that 4-1 at your place it's been murder paying you.

    It was the Burnley match that killed you wasn't it, I couldn't believe the way you set up and allowed the Burnley front two to get at you.

    By the look of the state of Bruce yesterday I think it's time for a change, he has no ambition, just there for the money imo.

    He's staying put i think. The chairman had a word with him afterwards apparently.

    I'm not fussed sbout relegation. It's been that poor this season that i've wanted it to end for the last 6 weeks or so.

    In the end, we deserve to go down. I've been resigned since we lost to Burnley.

    I can see where your arguments about Bruce come from, about his lack of tactical nouse- I'd agree with that.He should;ve dropped his favourites like Livermore, Huddlestone, McGregor at certain times, but he let them play on in the same fashion.

    He got it right against Palace & Liverpool but i think we lost the Burnley match down to the players not being motivated. It shouldn't always take the manager or the fans to motivate a team. They should've been up for it. I dunno why but that's where we failed.

    At the end of the day he's our manager, not a manager of some top 4 side. He'll always have his problems & not be perfect. We never said he was. We was just pleased we were having some relative success on the pitch

    And yes he's spent too much. Maybe if we got to see those signings play we might have made a better fight for ourselves. I'm talking Diame & Snodgrass etc.

    Weldone on staying up again btw.

    Cheers, we only deserved it at the end of the season which is, I suppose, when you most need it.

    I reckon the problem with Bruce is that he brings in 'Billy Big Bollocks' players on big money who fade quickly.
    It upsets the lads who've got you there and seems to create splits in the dressing room.

    I suppose it's hard for Bruce to drop expensive signings when he's declared they're the future and will push the club to another level.
    He tries to resolve the situation by spending even more which is a dangerous road.

    Anyway mate, I'm sure you'll enjoy next year and there's a lot to be said for the Championship.
    One of my top 3 favourite seasons was the one in the 3rd division, some great memories from those days.

    Bruce is an awful character who while being quite good in the transfer market short term is a disaster long term. I hope for your sake he does the honorable thing and falls on his sword, but don't hold your breath. And by the way I like Hull City but not some of the characters in your first eleven, I don't have to name them, but thanks for taking them away.

    This board will miss them. We've posted about them a lot over the last couple of years.

    I can only speak for myself and say I won't miss them at all.

    Most of my posts were responses until it got to the point where I'd lost patience with their idiots.

    I'll be quite happy to see the back of most of them, especially their so called Mods who are nowt but 'empire builders' <ok>

    Yeah well, we dish it out when necessary. I'm not denying that.

    Still owe you lot one for that punch though, let's hope you bounce straight back up so I don't have to wait too long else I might forget.

    There was a vote a few weeks ago. You must have missed it.

    Saying, "This board will miss them," isn't an opinion, it's speaking on behalf of other people surely?

    "I'll miss them", would be an opinion.

    Or am I missing your point?

    It's my opinion that this board will miss Hull but further primary research is required to prove this hypothesis as the current sample size is limited to one.

    Will we miss WHO?

    I think its fair to say good riddance forever to Hull City. Hopefully we won't feel the same about Hull Tigers if they get promoted in the future as the "City till we die" lot will obviously no longer be among their number, but pushing up the daisies instead.
