    I don't give as stuff at the moment. No offence intended only we've got a Cup final to deal with first so this match will hardly be on folks mind. You'll get more chat and banter after Sunday fella. We've got a big occasion to enjoy. <ok>

    I disagree - they are not as annoyingly bastardlike as Long (who, BTW, I would like to have at my club but hate him playing against us!!)!! No offence obviously but Danny Graham was a striker playing in the premier league - doesn't make him a Premier League striker! I don;t rate Sagbo from what I've seen of him - can't comment on Aluko as I haven't seen enough to really form an opinion. Think Jellyfish is overrated too - he started like a house on fire at Everton then scored not many more than Altidore for almost an entire season after his first 10 games or so!!

    Hope you're right on the last bit - I am simply not counting my chickens yet as most of the time, when I do, they don't hatch

    Aluko has scored 1 goal this season and only has 11 premiership appearances to his entire career. To say he's a premiership player is a matter of circumstance. He's completely unproven at this level and to say he will be would be nothing more than a guess. He's an unknown quantity to his own fans at the level.

    Thanks for the sentiment TT but I don't suppose many on here give a ****.
    Hull have played boro, Southend and Brighton in the fa cup this year so to have gone out before this stage would have been a cup upset.
    Both hull goals last night were fortuitous and neither were scored by a striker so forgive me for not quaking in my boots as the prolific international household names in your forward line warm up.
    Now, if you'll excuse me, I've bags to pack for a little trip to Wembley this weekend.

    Aluko is probably our most talented player, he's been out injured for months, but he's most definitely a Premier League player. I'm as certain of that, as I am that Danny Graham's a League One player. <laugh>

    Like I say 11 premiership games. Talent doesn't always bear fruit. James McLean had a much bigger impact Aluko has had, he looked great, he won us points, he could run past players for fun, knew where in the box to put the ball and had an unbelievable work rate. We all got excited and look what happened. Macheda is another example and he had an even bigger impact than Aluko and McLean put together.

    It's not set in stone is all I'm saying.
