    If we get Carlton Cole its ok but to stick with Akpom and Abel is madness.
    As you say no criticism of Akpom but he's been very poor. Is Abel, who is still ****, only putting a bit of effort in to get a move? What happens if he doesnt? He's very good at sulking. He'll be away with Uruguay and get injured and be in and out all season.
    I saw the sitter he missed against Preston, ****ing hell. Plus the three against Rochdale. If we rely on him we're in trouble.

    I wasn't trying to be witty, I just thought you dreamt it.

    That may be true to a point, but it has **** all relevance to the nonsense about this so-called behaviour of his. He showed his frustration with another team member for not doing the obvious, he then argued back when that player decided to be lippy and then he showed how you chase a ball down, win a seemingly lost opportunity and feed it back into play.

    We all knew, well them that deals with reality did, that he is too good for the Championship and every last one of us would have done the same as him, but we should have tried to keep him (maybe we did, but the ****e on here would indicate not). This bullshit others are going on about his knees is just that, bullshit; Snodgrass joined us as a fit player, how did that turn out. At the end of last season he was a very highly rated player on the boards, so what has changed? How many minutes has he played this season and, when compared to some of the players who we will have to grin and bear, why the **** is he being singled out? That 'fortune' would be tolerable if he scored the goals that got us promoted - but it would seem better to have a collective of players who will cost more (together) and achieve less.

    Jelavic has been a good, committed player for us and it is disgraceful the way he is being dismissed by those who sang his praises; good to the guy with his new club, as it seems they deserve his success far more than we do.

    Bang on too many fickle soccer am types about. I hate it when people claim things about players not caring, not trying, not wanting to be here when they hve absolutely no ****ing idea how these players feel or what they think.

    I have many criticisms of Steve Bruce but he wouldn't put any player in a match day squad who was guilty of any of those things or anything similar which we saw proof of with Paul McShane last season.

    Of course these players want to be playing at the top specially the ones like Jelavic who know they are at that standard but that doesn't mean they're sulking, causing problems in the dressing room, don't give a **** or whatever. They're professionals and this is their job which they're paid very handsomely to do and they will get on with their job like any other person would with theirs.

    It makes me laugh all the **** that everyone flung at Hernandez all summer, he's a prick, doesn't care, wants out, won't try etc. then he comes into the side puts a shift in like he always has and everyone is suddenly happy for him to stay whilst they fling the same **** at Jelavic, who was one of the big favourites, because he had a bad start to the season.

    Absolutely ****ing ridiculous.

    A couple of nice rants, but the opinion that he wanted out and was being an arse about it was not mine, it was that of the management of Hull City.

    Are we talking about Jelavic or Hernandez?

    Except Chazz he really hasn't played well this season, he didn't want to stay and he has had serious knee injuries. He was good in the PL, but we're not in the PL and he's been terrible in this league so far. We'd be very unlikely to get a full season of 46 games out of him (or what remains) given his injury track record, he's now 30, it's the right time for both. Providing we use the money to fund a suitable replacement.

    This came across as an opinion:

    Not a great post; are they are rants because they use more letters that a Twats Tweet, is that it? They may be just opinions like yours, as I see no proof to make what you have posted anything other. I won't use the excuse of attempting humour, I was simply expressing an opinion. Can you back that up, what you say about the management, as I have not seen anything? Not just the notion that the management thought him being an arse (as I could understand their self-serving reasons to hint that), but that it was his problem?
    I don't think it is too much of a secret that some element (sizeable element of senior players) of the dressing room finished last season with something less than confidence in Steve Bruce's ability to manage them. To take this point further would need us to switch to another thread where we could discuss the tactics, players bought and performances so far this season - something I believe you are not too impressed with; but I'm off to bed.

    There is quite a bit wrong with what you have posted: the only thing I can agree with is that it is best he leaves - for both parties.

    Dunno why anyone would argue over Jelavic, it's quite clear, he's now 30 so he'll have turned to ****.

    We're well rid.

    Why is wrong, tell me what you don't agree with?

    He really hasn't played well in the Championship. He did have a release clause and he had advised Bruce he didn't want to play in this league. He has had a serious knee injury x 2.

    Given his injury record, would you expect him to play a full part over 46 games? I don't.

    Not much wrong with it from my point of view.

    Has he really played that bad in a team that really hasn't played that good. How early are you judging him, after how many games? I think the nature and timing of your criticism must be considered when you express your view on other players. Too harsh, too soon, too short a memory.

    So you don't want Snodgrass back and Diamé is a liability; I jest, don't get irate. Injuries are a part of the game in match play and training, it's a risk, all of it, but he scores goals. I would expect very few players to play a part in 46 games, except, maybe, Elmo - but posters are already on his back too, so maybe we should all jump on that particular bandwagon.

    Aye, he would want to leave, but just how hard did we try to keep him? Probably as hard as some posters on here.

    That's what is wrong with your post.
