    It's getting a bit late to be shifting clubs, the longer there's no news the more likely he isn't going to Leicester.. but I wouldn't rule anything out.. if Leicester offer him a 3 year deal (he's 31 though..) and we don't then he would probably go..

    OK, I concede. Hull are unquestionable the favourites to get promoted this season. Everyone I speak to, every bookie, every journalist, says the same thing. It's definitely Hull going up.


    Now naturally, if things go pear-shaped, you won't mind us Leicester fans coming onto your board to tell you what a laughing stock you are, will you?

    Tbh, Pearson made 3 signings before they even went on holiday. I doubt that theres much more business left to be done by us.

    Depends if he wants the signing on fee, higher wages etc - unfortunately the only loyalty in the game now is from the fans

    Gangsta ..

    I would never be so stupid as to think Hull City are nailed on for promotion and will win the league by Christmas.

    It's Leicester City fans who did that last season.

    Half the teams in the championship have a decent chance of a top 6 finish.

    With Both our clubs being in with a chance .

    Automatic could be anyone's .

    Think it's going to be even closer this season.

    :)

    If Kevin Phillips can get 2 year deals at 40 years old then I think Koren could. But I don't think he is as much as an asset as Phillips

    Kevin Phillips is a deadly striker. Clubs would understandably risk a 2 year deal with him.

    Koren is worth a 2/3 year deal in my eyes. Captain of his International Side, 17 goals in 2 Seasons from midfield and a talisman-like playmaker creating chances.

    The contrast between them both is obvious, Phillips is a consistent goalscorer and Koren is only a midfielder.

    Koren has retired from internationals so he doesn't captain anybody

    Calm down you are entitled to your opinion just why try and pass it as the opion of others and I dont recall saying we are favourites for promotion just in my opinion (see what I did there - admit its my opinion) why have as good a chance if not better chance of promotion then you.

    Now go and get some sleep you sound a bit over-tired

    It certainly wasn't all, but as I think you're perfectly well aware, a certain moderator on your board(backed up by another moderator), made a grade one twat of himself on pretty much every board on this forum, which is why you keep having it thrown back at you and not just by Hull fans.

    I don't know why you have a problem believing that I am I'm not talking about my opinion. Is verbal communication with other humans a science fiction idea to you?

    My opinion is that we will finish second at best, but most likely will have to settle for a play-off place (ie I think we have about a 1/4 chance of promotion). The opinion of most neutral supporters I have spoken to think we WILL get promoted. Easy for them to be confident, they don't care either way.

    Since this debate came up yesterday, I have asked about 12 non-Leicester fans that don't come on this forum (ie don't know what pricks you Hull fans are) how they think Hull will do. Answers ranged from "they'll struggle" to "maybe sneak a play-off spot". The most common answer being "they'll finish mdtable". I'll continue to gauge public opinion just for you Marv, but I wouldn't hold my breath for any neutral to believe that your predictions are anything other than the fantasies of a deluded mind. <ok>

    I actually can't see passed the relegated clubs when it comes to automatic. If people are thinking that Blackburn, Bolton and Wolves won't be forces next season, they are in denial.

    I'd like to see Leicester and Hull in the place-offs, but I think it's going to be really tough. We will both need to be much, much better than last year to make it, as it will be tougher this year round.
