Think Bruce will want to go for a win tomorrow just to get into the winning frame of mind again. There is nothing wrong with feeling optimistic about our chances whilst at the same time realising that Brighton will be really up for it tomorrow. Get through that and then hopefully get back to winning ways on Saturday and the confidence in the team will be high going into the Sunderland match. Hopefully Brady will be back on form, Koren might play a part and where the hell is Dudgeon.
 
Tomorrow will be tough no doubt about it i wouldn't be surprised if its a full house for the home support however even with a weakened team we know we can beat them, i really do think its 50/50. Regarding the draw today it could have been easier but also much much harder and to be at home in a quarter:emoticon-0111-blush final is all you can ask for tomorrow night now is a massive game.
 
I find it incredible how these people can call us arrogant but not see they themselves are as arrogant as they make us out to be?

That was the point I was really trying to make. <laugh> Tickles me. They keep saying it'll be different 11 v 11, without realising that's precisely what the previous games were.
 
The problem with the draw taking place before half the games were decided is that it's just made tomorrow night so much more difficult for us, as Brighton see Sunderland as a bye, and they're relishing a go at Poyet.

Had a quick scan, the standard I&#8217;d expect from them.

All the football related comments &#8211; fine to differing degrees.

But the comments about our city are ****ing laughable. How can anyone from Sunderland laud it up over our historic city?

Sunderland only became a ****ing city in 1992.

I just skim over daft comments like that. In a way I'm thankful for them. The people that make them and the people that believe them tend to be the sorts I'd rather didn't come and clutter the place up anyway. The brighter ones make their own minds up and leave us having stats like the largest retention rate of any University.
 
Yeh, but they&#8217;d come back at us with that feted list of alumni from Sunderland University like erm&#8230;..

The sub-contractors from Sunderland that were here for a couple of years used to bring their families here (at their own expense) rather than going back to Sunderland on their time off. When the contract finished, they looked for work around here. Hardly conclusive I know, but there it is.

I don&#8217;t actually like running people&#8217;s homes down and I do understand those comments are probably written by people who think going to Newcastle to equals being well travelled.

But, like many others, they&#8217;ve taken on an ignorant, inaccurate media perception of Hull as their own opinion. A media perception that also defines their 'city' as being an extra arsehole for Newcastle to excrete from. But let them lap it up. Let them be Phil and ****ing Kirsty of they must.

Pretty sad.

Doesn't Hull have more people on the dole than Sunderland?

As the wise man once said to the visiting fool that described Hull as the arsehole of England, "and you're just passing through". <ok>
