    Am I the only one who really couldnt give a toss about this game?

    I'm pretty much done with watching this side for 2015/2016.

    I'm not too excited for it either, for a number of reasons, A) our **** form, and bottling it in the league, B) Having won the cup 2 years in a row.....I'd like to still win it, make history 3 years on the trot, but if you gave me the choice, I'd have had the league all day long over the cup.

    Although I've been pissed off, annoyed, disillusioned, unsurprised, fed up and even more pissed off at our form and how we've sank down the league recently, I am still looking forward to this game, we have the chance to make history by winning the FA cup 3 times in a row, and we'll get to keep the cup this time as well if we do! We have a chance to forget about our league form for a game, and it's refreshing to aim for another trophy to win (instead of the usual doom and gloom and arguments that we see in the run up to every league game, or facing one of the best two sides in CL each year (bar Monaco) with little hope of anything bar a) a huge tuning or b) a heroic loss.

    Yeah I know but the fact we have probably thrown away the league is still hard to swallow.

    We're in danger of becoming like Tottenham or Pre-Abramovic Chelsea.

    Hull are so positive we are playing our reserves against you again which includes a 14 year old making his home debut.
    The weather in Hull is minus 4 with a biting icy wind blowing in off the North Sea, mixed with hail and snow flurries.
    The pitch is threadbare, deeply rutted and barely playable because of a rugby league match played on it during the last 24 hours. There are still blood stains, bits of flesh and discarded bandages visible to the naked eye. Due to a union dispute over the groundstaff demanding minimum pay which turned into a farcical walk out, the pitch hasn't been rolled or marked out properly. Arseole Whinger will not be a happy bunny.
    Depending on the high tide times the match may have to go ahead without any goal nets thus making FA Cup history. If the trawler, the Jolly Giroman, docks in time, arrangements have been made to borrow the skippers fishing nets and use them, fish scales n' all.
    Apologies have been made for the whiff of decaying fish meal wafting over the stadium, even though it does cause the grazing gypsies horses to rear up and **** themselves. Blame the altered kick off time, the smell has usually drifted over to Grimsby by 7.30pm on a normal night, depending on the wind direction .
    And a reminder to any visiting Arsenal fans to reset their watches. It is still 1970 in Hull. Tis still grim up north.

    I would say we're more of a glorified version of pre-abrhomivc Chelski.

    I guess no one else is watching. Mertesacker had a nasty head clash. Looks like he's done for the night.

    One of the best post I have read on here. Paints an awful picture of 'Ull. I have heard "ladies" if you want to call them that wee standing!

    Ospina definitely redeeming himself back into the XI. Great save.

    What does Walcott offer? Seriously? He can't cross, can barely pass, I rarely see him take on a man unless he outpaces them. He's such a joke. Everyone goes on about that season he scored 20 odd goals but since then what? He'll have 5 good games a season at best. Absolutely useless and stealing a living.

    Time for Walcott to go methinks. 10 years of unfulfilled potential. Not going to change now.
