Your going home, your going home, the Allems have took you home.
As I taught you during your lesson yesterday, we have spent most of our history in the second tier.
You really must complete the homework you have been sent next time, otherwise you'll fall behind the rest of the class.
And they're called the 'Allams', dearie. Please do catch up.
He's serving to demonstrate that no matter what plight you find yourself in, there's always some poor soul worse off.
He's needed on the Premier League board, his fellow trolls are getting knocked down left right and center.
I know this has gone off-topic, but I'm hoping to see an empty KCOM next season, but full away followings (and yes, I know they get a small cut from away tickets - but it won't be significant enough for them, not like home tickets - but visually it will be like sticking two fingers up to them and showing we're still here and will be once they have gone). I think protest groups should be actively encouraging away only next season.
What are we still supporting? We're supporting what we all know Hull City AFC was and can be again one day - these idiots in charge don't have a clue what Hull City AFC truly is even though they own it, we will put things right when they've gone.
I want the world to hear about little old Hull City AFC and in turn through connection, the city of Hull itself. We got moments like that through getting to the FA Cup Final - people around the world heard about Hull. Why anybody from Hull would prefer the world heard about Liverpool, Manchester or Leeds is bizarre.
There's been plenty of trolls on the Hull Live page commenting on the Hull City relegation articles (mostly Hull Whites) who are laughing at the club. Imagine laughing at the demise of your own hometown club, and the demise of the economy in the city you live in as part of it.
Imagine being a plastic Wessie

I think this is a subject for football all told.
You look at Liverpool who won the league, you aren't supporting Liverpool you are supporting 20 random people who want a big payday. They are owned by an American consortium, managed by a German, with a support team from all over the world. Liverpool haven't won the league at all, it has barely anything to do with Liverpool other than the fact their badge, and the team play in a stadium in Liverpool. That stadium could be anywhere in the country with a different shirt and they win the league.
So what link do they have to Liverpool other than history? I think football has lost it's touch with the real world, and clubs are no longer what they used to be. Teams don't give opportunities to local lads and giving them an opportunity to better themselves and provide for their families. Clubs are bringing over players from all over the world into acadamies from 16.
So what do I support? The ultimate answer is I don't know.

Haven't you said you’re going to do that about 20 times over the last couple of years?
My dad has too.
He did actually cancel once, and then rang up and cancelled the cancellation at the eleventh hour on the final day.
For me it was easy, I just didn’t sign up to the membership scheme. I think that and in many ways going in to the premier league made it an easy choice. I did get tempted to sign up when Ehab masterfully forced Steve Bruce into resignation. I began to wonder then if Ehab really did want the club to be successful. But my caution was justified and the **** show the followed promptly vindicated me.
I won’t be back, not every game, no matter what happens on the pitch or with the owners. Maybe one day far into the future when I have grey hairs and can’t get a stiffy anymore. But definitely not any time soon. I hadn’t realised just how good the weekend could be.
Good post.
You could have also mentioned the unwritten, unspoken drive towards a big 5 or big 6 that all the people can get behind and follow, and beggar the rest.
SKY, the BBC - they're all pushing this vision of a small group of mega clubs that everyone should support.and anyone who supports a local or smaller club, is a bit odd or geeky, not to say 'uncool'.
There's no wonder so many weak bottom feeders like this leeds turd get sucked in to paying Richard Key's pension, while bolstering their fragile sense of self-worth .
Absolutely, I live in Manchester now, and know people who live in Stockport, Macclesfield, Bolton etc.... Not one has ever thought to support those teams unfortunately and it is only going to get worse with the fact the big 6 are on sky every weekend.
I watched that and was horrified at the poor quality of much of the play.Watching Big Match Revisited on ITV4 vermn v MUFC FACSF at Hullsborough 77
Mighty vermin on the East Bank with plenty of pockets of MUFC among them
Big club my arse
Horrified?
Hard pitch, strong swirling wind, sloping ground.
Niggly game, but some great duels all over the pitch
MUFC's youth and speed too much for the ageing likes of Madeley and Reaney
No diving, jostling of ref, designer tats, weird hair, self-publicists.
Plus your bonus interview with Stuart Pearson.
Next season we can watch lxxds get beaten every saturday evening,whilst at the same time getting hundreds of millions into debt. It will take the pain away from the usual hull city nil saturday afternoon.

Frankly, a boycott is probably the only weapon we have that might hurt them. Having said that, the Allam's will just say fine, we are only going to spend what income we have and if you boycott then the players we can attract will be even less quality than they already are. You can't win with these twats.
If there is to be a boycott then this is probably the best time, as listening to the reporter who covers the Ipswich games, he said how surprised he was how poor Div 1 was and the gulf between the Championship & Div 1 is huge. Therefore next season sounds as if it is going to just be attritional.
