    You can't wait wait for us lose can you. You'd rather we lose the next ten games than be wrong.

    Get on with it fella, it's a extremely sad though don't you think?

    Clichés only become clichés because they're true.

    Yes, I've lost track of the times we have literally thrown the kitchen sink at the opposition

    i'm very impressed by Adkins philosophy regarding social networks, mostly managers are too old or busy for that staff and just ignoring (facing consequences too).
    It''s interesting. Thanks for sharing.

    To me fair Adkin's uses social media quite well, others could learn a thing or two from his example.

    Slightly off topic but why does Peter Levy pop up on my Twitter telling me he’s home now? on the list of people to follow he’s way down the list! :emoticon-0114-dull:

    If Peter Levy did start tweeting he's home, it's likely to be for his weather friends information only.

    P.S. Adkin's IMO uses social media in a non-confrontational way, which is harmless, but he at least appears to be communicating with the fan base.

    He's quite simply a #topbloke

    And good to see that the earlier undeserved negativity, cynicism etc many had toward him has all but disappeared, and that he continues to get continued recognition and respect that he thoroughly deserves. Said at the time he arrived he was as good as we could realistically hope for, and so it is being proved. If only he could get the right backing from the owners who knows what he / we could achieve.

    “The manager is one of the most under-rated managers I’ve worked with,” he said. “I’ve spoken to people up and down the country and they’ve said the same thing.

    “What he’s doing with Hull and the structure he’s put in place to help the lads perform is not down to luck. It didn’t come overnight but he’s kept working at it.

    “The human element is so important as well, the confidence and the backing he gives you
