Please accept our apologies for a rather abject performance that also let your lot down on Friday night - in fairness, although we had a lot of possession prior to the two Watford goals, they were by far the more accomplished team and carved us apart at will whenever they came forward - they deserved the win and Zola is due credit for tactically outsmarting Nigel Pearson ('tho he is not alone in doing that of late - indeed I would back my pet tortoise, Oswald, against him right now) - with sufficient time for reflection, I readily concede that Watford were deserved and worthy victors ...
Looking at the two teams' strongest lineups, I think Hull's players would probably beat Udinese's, but the Italian outfit would overcome the bruises to easily win the football match. (he started it...)
Oh for God's sake give it a rest. If nothing else WFC have played the best football in the division this season, and if it's needed a group of imports to show how insular we are in UK, then maybe it's a good thing. The fact is, NO rules were broken, no loopholes exploited, and no large amounts of cash expended (Cardiff, Leicester...) so maybe WFC have shown the way forward. Of course, we don't have the luxury of borrowing Egypt internationals just when we feel like it (I wonder who tried that trick). Now, about the actual situation that seems to be stressing all these Tigers fans... 1) If you end up in the playoffs, then just look at Wolves, Blackburn, Leeds, and think about their supporters. you've got a great chance. 2) When WFC played Hull in playoffs a few years ago, the atmosphere at the KFC was the best I've come across in a new stadium- just get behind your team. 3)WFC have to put up with the 'little team' tag all the time - you don't. We are patronised (BBC) insulted (Holloway) and misunderstood (by almost all referees this season!). 4) Hull still have a better chance than WFC of automatic. We've not won 3 in a row all season, Hull haven't failed to win in 4 all season... Finally, enjoy it, it's a bl--dy game not a war. (which is a relief, considering the refereeing).
