I think we will win 0-1 ​

 

Call me a deluded fool but I honestly think we will win this 0-1.
Have a feeling Cisse will score.
You heard it here first!!!
Some canny odds too......

 

Hull are about as unpredictable as we are, so I honestly have no clue at all on how to call this one.

As much as I'd like to say we can win it, I can equally see us putting in a dire away performance and throwing it away. Would be gutted if they did the double over his mind.

 

could you do your dissapearing trick fella for the game again?
seems to be a lucky omen.

 

Sure, OK. I don't mind taking one for the team...if you think...it would be...better...for me...to ... not...be...here.

I'll...just...err...go...out...this...door...then...

...right, going now.

I'm about to walk through it.

Any... second...now.

Nearly there.

So.... I'll see you around then.

oK see ya.

Bye.

Laters.

 

I predict a boring 0-0 draw but with a red card.
Hull are a tough outfit now and have a decent forward line.

 

Oooh, now it's exciting as we can have a sweep stake on who gets the red card.

 

I have my ticket sorted for this one now, travelling with Back Page travel. Does anyone know of any decent Away friendly boozers?

I think it will be a narrow defeat. I expect Jelavic to be the key man.

 

I can see us losing this one. I think the last thing Colo wants right now easing his way back in, is Shane Long burning up the channels.

3-1 to Hull with Colo sent off. Long 1, Jelavic 2, Remy with the consolation.

I've clicked win for the poll though as I always like to see oppo fans wound up by us predicting we'll win.

 

I think we will win 2-1.
I fancy Gouff to bag a brace.

 

Used the BP for years but travelling with a new company.

Steve, the courier with the BP will be able to inform you of the nearest facilities, he's a really good guy and knows his stuff.

 

We could win

You could win

It could be a draw.

We are not deluded in thinking we are a top team like sunderland.

Think my score bet will be on a 2 - 2 draw with it being a good game

 

Thanks for the invitation, ACS.

I watched your game (with my Newcastle supporting daughter) against Villa; the game was dire, but you stuck with it. All the focus will be on Remy, who will be more assured, but you have quality if Pardew can glue it together. Your early season was great to watch, but you have suffered quite a bit of disruption more lately; there are more points in the PL for you yet, though.

Hull City AFC are on the up; we lacked strikers who could strike, we don't now! We are putting together some good football - in fact, we didn't do too badly without strikers. We continue to be strong defensively and Steve Bruce will be very aware of the threat Remy offers. We will take you very seriously, you are a good team.

I would predict 3 - 1, as I think our strike partnership will allow others to threaten - mind you, I'm **** at this prediction malarkey.

Three points would be great, but a good game of football would be good too. Enjoy your visit to the KC, I'll be back in Washington watching with a pint and some mates who will be shouting for you.

All the best

 

Is that '....a top team like Sunderland' or 'deluded in thinking .... like Sunderland'?

I think you're right about predicting. I really haven't a clue on this one.

 

You mean 5under1and aren't a top team?

 

Alright lads.

As has already been said, this game will be very unpredictable as both teams are just that, though I'd probably shade us just due to the fact we are at home.



Personally I think you should let us have the points, you don't really need them

 

That sounds fair enough.

 

You can have 3 points if we can have Shane Long. Deal?

 

No deal, i'll take my chances then

 

Damn. You can have Shola AND Obertan in exchange.

Go on then, you drive a hard bargain, so we'll throw in Gosling too.
