    Most of those bone idle motherfuckers wouldn't get us out of the Championship anyway.

    I remember when we were in what is now League 2 and seeing fans crying because they were relegated from the premier league and thinking how pathetic they were when I would jave given anything for us to be in the championship. So if we go down no tears from me, just look forward to the elation of being promoted again!

    Didn't blub, just got really annoyed at donkey Kevin Francis giving the ball away which led to a goal and getting a parking fine for doing what all the locals did parking on the kerb - think the Hull number plate was a magnet for the local coppers.

    I had reservations at some of the signings early doors as I suspected that many of our regulars from the Championship and FA Cup run would be overlooked for these newbies who didn't have the club's interest at heart - how right this has proved.

    I think we started playing better with fighting spirit when the likes of Quinn, Meyler, Brady and Aluko are playing, however, there are times when we need to change the team to suit the occasion (like Saturday, when it was crying out for Jelly to start and get at Burnley from the off, rather than play a cagey cat and mouse game).

    I also think we need to give the ex-Spurs players a chance at WHL to show their mettle as this is the type of place we will play more counter-attacking.

    Whilst there is still a hope I will not give up (that's what supporting City does for you) - let's hope the players plat their part.

    That was a rather eventful night, pub windows going in, cockney hoolies coming from all over to have a go at City fans, another game where they players weren't up for it, if only PT had tried to win at Carlisle last match we could have had the second leg at home. The game was a Burnley type pile if ****e, I never cried though

    You are quite right Dutch, she is.

    Edit: Why didn't someone think of this picture for one of our flags? A fan? On a flag?

    It was Brian Little. We never played in the play-offs under PT.

    Yeah sorry, I was thinking about PT and our corner tactics at the time, I used to like the mass huddle on edge of box which allowed Stu Elliott to head one in regularly

    OT but that was probably the last time we were really dangerous at set pieces. Taylor certainly knew his stuff and drilled the team, the amount we scored from corners and free kicks was mental.

    Fine when they were at the opposite end, but PT's tactic of always having everyone in the box when they were our end used to drive me mad.

    Judging by the replies to miffy threads, it's liable to become a sticky.

    I agree. He told me at the time that it was: " like cowboys and Indians. You didnt see the general ordering his troops to run at the arrows, they ran away".

    I don't think he quite thought that one through.

    How great would it be if not one - not one - person out their head in their hands, sat in their seat for 10 mins after the final whistle, cried or even looked remotely sad and instead just clapped the lads and left? Sky wouldnt know what the **** to show.

    Just change/adapt some of the words and references and apply...feel free to add your own rousing speeches!

    D-Day: War’s over, man. Wormer (Burnley, Sunlan?) dropped the big one.
    Bluto: Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour? Hell no!
    Otter: Germans?
    Boon: Forget it, he’s rolling.
    Bluto: And it ain’t over now. ‘Cause when the goin’ gets tough…
    [thinks hard]
    Bluto: the tough get goin’! Who’s with me? Let’s go!
    [runs out, alone; then returns]
    Bluto: What the **** happened to the Delta (Hull City?) I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you’re gonna let it be the worst. “Ooh, we’re afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble.” Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I’m not gonna take this. Wormer, he’s a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer…
    Otter: Dead! Bluto’s right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.
    Bluto: We’re just the guys (fans) to do it.
    D-Day: Let’s do it.
    Bluto: Let’s do it!
