Match Day Thread Hull City v Newcastle. EFL CUP QFinal

Burnley's.

 

On the subject of transfers the mirror today are saying that Middleborough are still after Harry for 6 million come january

 

Just swapped the 1 and 4 around - job done.

 

For being there

 

wasn't that the empty seat count?

 

It takes a special kind of genius to bring about a situation where the crowd for the quarter final of a competition where victory would see us getting to the semi final of it for the first time is less than for a third division game.

I wonder how many people from Hull were in pubs watching "their" teams playing at Anfield?

 

Must have counted them again for ET. And again for penalties.

 

Burnley and Sunderland have worse squads than us? WTF?

I'm pretty sure both of those have full squads. We have a fraction of one. We're filling our bench with random kids. And most importantly of our all, we have barely any real quality beyond Snodgrass.

 

It was a sublime moment

 

Were they also wearing blindfolds? Might explain a few things.

 

It was one of those Burnsy moments when you thought either he's heard something or he is just stirring up a bit more negativity. Given how much money the Premier League generates and how thin our squad is it would certainly be depressing (but not entirely surprising) if we really have to sell before we can buy.

 

It's pretty awful, whether he could do a better job under less infuriating owners, I'm not so sure. His tactics and most of the games I have watched recently have been dreadful. From selection errors and formation errors.

I only see evidence of this 'scrapping for everything' sporadically which you imply is every game, strangely the same as PLT. Are you the same person or related? We're certainly at times not scrapping for everything some displays have been lacklustre, lacking in energy, lacking in effort and commitment and downright poor.

Someone at a recent home game implied Ehab was influencing team selection - that would make sense if Marshall starts the next league game in goal.

The comments at the end on Shelvey are interesting.

 

How often have you seen us play this year? By what you say it can't have been much. The lads certainly haven't ever been lacking in effort or commitment

 

Take it.....!!!!

 

You appear to have a shadow. I have seen us play lots of times. I'd question whether you've seen us play at all? Your pal that keeps 'liking' your posts by his own admission hasn't seen us regularly, if in fact at all.

 

Another good example of why you never see a poor bookie.

 

But

I can't control who likes my previous posts. I'm getting bored of this... Half the things you say I'm actually unsure whether you actually mean them or just on a wind-up to get a reaction.
