    Leicester A
    Chelsea H
    Swansea A
    Southampton A
    Liverpool H
    Palace A
    Arsenal H
    Burnley H
    Spurs A
    United H

    Three fixtures in bold that Hull really must win at this time, looking at the schedule. I'd have added last nights to that list as well.

    On top of those 3 wins, they're gonna probably need 2 or 3 more points to be sure of safety.

    The importance of the game last night might have got to Hull.

    At this stage in the season it's all about dealing with pressure. That next game is very dangerous for them, Leicester are already down in most people's books, the pressure is off.

    Lose vs Leicester and all of a sudden you've got to win one of the other games, take your pick from that lot, I couldn't.

    I think we'll lose against Leicester, we'll probably be banking on other clubs continuing to be crap.

    There were some derogatory personal comments.

    There were also some aggrieved people complaining of how he's perceived.

    Not that I could care less but, it just goes to show, you can't speak for everyone ........

    Whatever the result, for Leicester tonight, they'll either have nothing to lose or everything to gain.

    When Bruce gets sacked from Hull and Bruce piles the blame on everyone else but himself, all lthe Hull fans will hear is an incessant whining like an ugly wasp stuck in the ear. At that point it will dawn on them, not only is he a rubbish manager, he is a rubbish person as well.

    There aren't many City fans who think Bruce is the the worlds best manager, he's made far too many daft team selections and substitutions, but we're not quick to turn on our managers and getting us up and to a cup final last season has given him a lot of breathing space.

    We tend to not give a **** about what players and managers say when they leave, we're not that precious.

    Fair enough, that's very reasonable. From my perspective I actually hope he does annoy the hell out of Hull fans when he goes, that may mean he might of stopped irritating me. I'd like to move on but he makes it difficult.

    He just can't stop talking about Sunderland, and his time there ..... on about it again before last night's match.

    You'd think he'd never been shunted out of Sheff United, Huddersfield Town, Wigan, Palace & Birmingham.

    Funny how he never seems to mention any of them.

    He is definitely obsessed with Sunderland to the point where it is becoming a problem for him..

    They're football isn't as dire as their points tally suggests mate is it? Hull should have too much going forward for them, but like I say, it's the pressure that's getting to teams. It's essentially off Leicester now.

    Plenty of time for it all to change at the bottom yet.

    He has actually spent a fair bit of time recently talking about Wigan, he spent weeks banging on about Whelan not being a racist.

    Shortly before banging on about Evans not being a rapist.

    I'm surprised we were spared his view on Johnson last night.

    I've seen them play very well and lose this season, they're definitely better than their league position suggests.

    That said, they were absolutely dire at the KC and despite us battering them all game, they still managed to nick a win.

    Maybe we can return the favour at their place.

    He was specifically asked questions about Whelan, if I recall.

    He never once mentioned walking out on the club after being backed by Whelan.

    Give it time
    Could end up in a libel / slander case which could put a dent in the pie fund

    We've already lost to them, so i hope nobody is taking it lightly.

    Think Sunderland will beat Villa at the SOL in your next match. Don't think much of Sherwood as a manager.

    My next match is tonight mate, vs Newcastle at their place <ok>

    Villa are a load of ****, they come to Old Trafford next month and I hope we send them back with a battering that would completely wreck whatever confidence they might have.

    A club with a deluded fan base and a manager who spends his time joking on the touchline and relies on divine intervention.
