    Hull City (19th) - 'Possible mid-table marvels'
    David Burns, BBC Radio Humberside

    Hull City have gone from looking like relegation fodder to possible mid-table marvels.

    I think the injury-forced abandonment of the 'club philosophy' 4-3-3 - to a system based on a three-man defence - has been the big factor. They've looked more robust.

    The return of George Honeyman, last season's player of the year, has also helped.

    As for the future, much will depend on potential new owner Acun Ilicali, a Turkish media mogul.

    Hull boss McCann isolating with Covid-19
    He's the man who brought Deal or No Deal to Turkey and his arrival would put a question mark over manager Grant McCann's future, with at least one possible replacement being touted.

    As for his first investment, a couple of strikers would be a start. But even without them, Hull should stay up.

    You can find Hull City coverage on BBC Radio Humberside and by following David on Twitter (@bbcburnsy).

    I just hope this delay is not the Allam's doing an Allam's, and because KLP's stock seems to be rising, they are moving the goalposts and are upping the anti!

    It sounds like a great idea. Maybe for boxing day in our house.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Today's the day for festive fun
    Chicken in the oven so time for a pun.

    The deal nearly done time to rejoice
    Filling the MKM with our voice.

    Packed out ground 2 fingers to the Allams
    Walton Street car park fully rammed.

    Mauling teams every week
    As we go on a 15 match winning streak.

    KLP is wanted by many teams
    But he stays with Hull cause it's his dream.

    I've kept it short, I've kept it brief
    Even the moaners can't have a beef.

    All the very best today and for 2022
    to you and your loved ones.
    Be happy, stay safe and a big man sized hug from me.

    UTT

    When did "Christmas" become "Festive"?

    Duh. I know what the word means, I asked something specific.
    These days the term "Festive" is always used, whereas before the term "Christmas" was always used.
    eg
    nowadays: Festive football fixtures
    in the past: Christmas football fixtures.

    The games up. The Allams can take 12 million for KLP and they’ll be left with a club with little/no remaining assets and likely in League 1 making it an even less attractive option. If they do intentionally scupper it, it would go to prove it is all about spite.

    Presumably, so as not to refer to the Christian Feast of Christmas and emphasise the fact it's a secular holiday and thereby not offend non Christians.
    Not that I give a ****.

    Why are people using that awful American greeting of Happy Holiday instead of Happy Christmas?
