    The more people we can aim to make red faced come the end of the season, the better.

    Based on those we can safely lose "AFC", "City" and "Tigers" from the club name.

    There was a good piece on SB in yesterday's Times. Shame it's behind a pay-wall, on-line.

    Embrace the diversity of opinion, luv.

    Surely you wouldn't want to live in a totalitarian state where there was no spectrum of political views?

    I know I wouldn't.

    The Telegraph is generally accepted as the voice of big business, but is at least a credible reference point from a known editorial viewpoint.

    The Guardian is obviously a similar proposition from the left.

    My biggest concern is Asbo's penchant for the mail. If it has it's finger on the pulse of national opinion then Asbo clearly sees the intellectual climate of our green and pleasant land as largely dominated by middle-class, middle-aged house-wives who's experience of the labour-market is limited to a couple of years in a secretarial role sometime in the late-60's and who's social experience the sum of who's social experience is that of the local church coffee morning and odd WRVS bridge-night.

    You betray your snobbishness and disdain for large sections of the population with this sad post (which you seem to have needed several cracks at!).

    This is a better Preview for us as compared to the typical "Hull don't stand a chance" Media stance.

    No, just disdain for the mail, and we'll see what happens to it's circulation as the baby-boomer generation begins to die out.

    Rather than repeat my accusation that you are a snob who sneers at large groups of the population, I chose to highlight one of your grammatical errors.

    I was too bored to pursue your tedious social hang-ups.

    If you think I'm a snob then you clearly haven't a clue. I dislike the mail, not necessarily those who read it. The increasingly limited demographic I refer to as being the mail's target audience is pretty much accurate. Oh, and there's a difference between a grammatical error and a typographical one.

    Your accusation could easily be turned on it's head as it is not I who sneer at patrons of the guardian and BBC.

    The Mail's 1.7 M readership is about ten times as big as the Guardian's deluded little clique. and is second only to the sun in circulation terms.

    I think you're going to have to wait a long time.

    That, or admit you're posting utter bollox.

    I'd check the digital stats before you get so confident. I also note you chose to ignore the other institution I mentioned.
