    Match Day Thread Hull City v Wrexham

    An improvement on Friday’s match but a better team wouldn’t have missed some of the absolute sitters that Wrexham had, so I think we did ride our luck. It did feel like the tactics were to contain Wrexham for an hour and then turn up the heat. And it worked but it was a bit frustrating in the...

    Chat GPT and other AI bots

    I know a guy working in this area who is very passionate about the power of this area, and recommends using ChatGPT to teach yourself how to program and make your own tools and apps. He says one thing LLMs are very very good at is programming. He’s got a degree in Classics but has written some...

    Match Day Thread Hull City v Oxford

    I can’t remember Drameh going down at all - my recollection is he did a Coyle-style shot block with his face and the ref made him go off. If he sent him to the bench to get a concussion check I could just about get on board with it, but he sent him to East stand touch line. Seems utterly pointless.

    Match Day Thread Hull City v Oxford

    Well that was great. Proper enjoyable match, when was the last time we scored 3 at home? None of our players were duff and with Lundstram, McBurnie and Crooks providing a bit of grit we look a lot tougher and less “nice”. Can’t see Coyle getting a game until a gap opens up through injury...

    Beverley races

    Used to live in central Beverley, “ladies” day has always been carnage, especially if on a day with nice weather. Highlight one year was being woken up by a couple shagging (or attempting to) on the ground outside my house. Woman lying on the ground, legs in the air with her knickers around one...

    Fantasy Football Hull City not606 league

    Pretty much. https://fantasy.premierleague.com/help/rules Basically you get a budget of £100m, and you pick a squad of 15. Tactics like do you spend it on a marque player like Salah or Haaland and then a load of journeymen like Xhaka. Or go for a more even spread of "good" players. Think...

    Just a reminder, 48 hours to go. We've got a respectable league of 28 teams so far, but always room for more.

    I’ve been using my companies co-pilot as a research assistant and it’s been doing a great job, basically better than Google search as it will summarise and tabulate results. I find as long as you get it to cite sources so you can check that it is reasonable accurate then it’s great then i fed...

    Fantasy Football Hull City not606 league

    I don’t know how much enthusiasm for footie I have at the moment given the car crash that is HCAFC, but maybe that will change as the season gets going. Anyway, I’ve renewed the league for 24/25. Just a warning, it didn’t seem to want to let me register my club this year without selecting a PL...

    I did it online, Lloyds pharmacy. They’re a bit cheaper than other high street name pharmacies. Bit of a palaver doing a video with ID and proving weight, but on the flip side you can consult the pharmacist or a GP any time you’re on the meds if you have a worry about them or a side effect etc...

    Sorry late to the conversation as usual, but on the topic of Mounjaro, I’ve been on it for a couple of months too. I’m losing about a pound a week so far, but I’m still on the lower doses. Some people are more sensitive than others to it which is why you keep upping your dose until you’re happy...

    Fantasy Premier League 24/25

    Sorry I’d usually do an end of season post but I’ve been avoiding anything City related, I needed a break. I only popped in to see if there was any credible news on a new manager. Well done to the winner, I had a dreadful year and came 25th out of 27, so just like City really. I’ll renew the...

    New Manager... Sergej Jakirović appointed

    If I took one thing from Brucie’s talk last night, it’s the value of a manager who has an extensive network in the British/Irish game and the phone numbers of a lot of useful people. I think that, plus the excellent scouts and his reputation, were the main reasons we had such a good squad in his...

    I don’t disagree - I also read the Washington Post and it is a shadow of the paper that employed Bernstein and Woodward. However, trashy journalism has also been around a long time. I have a collection of cuttings describing the inquest into an ancestors death 100 years ago. Some of the...

    Match Day Thread Hull City v Norwich City

    We obviously have the necessary skills and capabilities because of the great starts we’re making in matches. ‘Just’ need to extend the 25 minutes of excellent play for another 70 minutes. You can almost see the switch going off and the sitting back and letting the opposition get control...

    Transfer Rumours Winter 2025 Transfer Thread

    I’d take Bamford like a shot but he is made of glass these days. With our luck he’d get crocked on his first training session with a 6 month injury.

    The perfect football club owner doesn’t exist. They’ve all got their issues, whether it’s ego or financial etc. In our case, our owner appears to care about whether we do well, turns up at games, values the relationship with fans. Is willing to invest. All positives in my opinion. Yes he’s...
