They do have some decent posters and some not so. The amount of **** we got off them when Nigel Pearson left them to come back here was unbelievable, some of them still haven't got over it now and see this as some sort of grudge match
... more of a risk of Wes catching him in the nads with a flailing limb whilst he flings himself to the floor for no apparent reason ...
Nigel Pearson has said Kasper Schmeichel is fit and available but Anthony Knockaert is in France for family reasons and won't be available and neither will Dean Hammond who is injured but is back in training so he won't be out for long
ruthless ? you mean every shot went in.
'teams like Hull' ? Under estimate us at your peril. No team has outplayed us this season.
Dame D'Doye. you know FA about him. three games three goals and he could have doubled that. Smokey Robertson, remember the name because you'll all know who he is at 5 o'clock on Saturday.
I thought you were the worst team to come to the KC this season and how you managed to come away with the points still mystifies me. But that's football. I thought WHU were the best footballing side to come to Hull and they were flying at the time, now look at them.
I actually have a lot of time for Big Nige and liked him when he was Hull's manager.
From what I've seen of your lads this season, on the telly, obviously, I think you look a decent team, better then Burnley and QPR and perhaps Sunderland.
Weakness seems to be down the middle and your back four/five look as though they could do with a few bonding sessions but up front you have a threat.
Pearson's strength at Hull was defending deep and snatching a 1-0. He was manager when Hull enjoyed their longest unbeaten run away from home in our history, it went on for months, mostly 0-0 and 1-0 wins. I loved it but plenty didn't.
Saturday will be a cracker and I don't think Pearson making it a 'must win' game helps because it also makes it a 'must not lose' game, and as you know at this level, one slip, one bad decision, one lucky deflection and it's curtains.
Not expecting the amateur dramatics we get at the Chelsea's and Arsenal's.
Hope who ever win's does so on merit and not on a fluke or a poor referring decision.
We've sold out. Have you?
I don't think anyone is underestimating you, but you obviously must be aware that you're in the group of clubs that we need to be beating. Frankly, we should be looking to beat ALL teams at home.
Our performance at your place was unusually poor (you could argue we didn't need to be that good that day), neither was our performance at Stoke in all honestly, but they remain our only two away wins but far from our best performances. I though West Ham looked a good side too earlier in the season, along with Southampton and Swansea, but those type of sides tend to run out of steam.
Yeah, we know about bad decisions and bad luck, we've had tons of it, including three clear penalties not given against Man City.
We sell out nearly every game. Our max. cap. is 31,603. Our average attendance is 31,569. We have the 11th highest average attendance in the league (and also in the country).

Reports say he took a £12k a week pay cut to come to Hull and play in the Premier League. ! Unbelievable if true in this day and age. He certainly looks a player.
Pearson always prepared his teams well when he was with us and I expect nothing less on Saturday.
We've had plenty of poor decisions go against us too.
Probably one of the reasons both clubs are where we are in the league.
I think we've had one penalty this season. Then look at Chelsea. Unbeaten at home for about 70 games up to recently ( and Bradford City go there and beat them) The most players booked for diving, the most penalties awarded to them, they have played about 75% of their home games against teams with 10 men, they score only 25% of their goals at home from open play, the majority of them are from free kicks around the box, and they are top of the league.
That's the Premier League.
Just like he scouted Charlie Austin for us and decided Aaron Mclean would be a better option...
Another great decision by Nige.
Who won? who took 6 points off you? who missed a penalty? You cockney banker.
You were utterly ****e on the first day of the season and fully deserved to lose.
I would have thought a draw would be more favorable to your club. But, if you prefer to potentially sacrifice your team staying up to get one over the not606 posters then so be it.
What do you think of your tubby wee friend's claim that you, a team in a relegation dogfight, haven't been outplayed all season?!!
What's your mates problem? Too much cholesterol clogging up the fat k*nts brain or summink???
Thought Hull looked poor in both our games , but they'll probably stay up in no small part to the 6 points taken of us, cos we are a bit sh1t & we handed it to them on a plate.
We were pretty **** in both games against you, fortunately you were just a little bit ****ter.
Leicester City vs Hull City Preview
Hull City travel to the King Power Stadium tomorrow in arguably the biggest game of the season so far at the tail end of the Premier League. Steve Bruce’s men currently have a nine point cushion over their opposition but have a horrible looking run-in with only ten games of the campaign remaining. Leicester, on the other hand, have been rooted to the bottom of the table for months now but face much more favourable opposition in their last eleven games. The Foxes have the worst home record in the league with ten points from eleven games and only two wins, equally, the Tigers only have two away wins so far this campaign. At the same time as these two lock horns, Sunderland take on Aston Villa in an equally crucial game at the foot of the division. With QPR and Burnley also in action tomorrow, the relegation picture may become somewhat clearer come 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Nigel Pearson described this weekend’s tie as a “must win” encounter, ramping up the pressure on his players further. Both Pearson and defender Matthew Upson spoke of their belief in the recent 4-5-1 system they have employed in recent weeks, although some sects of the Leicester support feel the team should be a little more adventurous against a relegation rival at home. An away win would see the gap between the two sides extended to twelve points and speaking in his press conference today, Steve Bruce expressed that such a gap would be next to impossible for Leicester to claw back.
Kasper Schmeichel returns to the fold, although Mark Schwarzer had arguably his best game for the club last time out against Manchester City, whilst Anthony Knockaert remains in France on compassionate leave. Steve Bruce had been hopeful Mohamed Diame could be in contention this weekend but declared that the game would come too soon for the Senegalese midfielder. Along with Diame, James Chester and Liam Rosenior could return ahead of schedule for Hull’s next home game against league leaders Chelsea. Both teams have had a ten day break and will be hoping to appear refreshed ahead of the final run-in. There had been fears over the re-occurring issue of Nikica Jelavic’s knee, although Steve Bruce said it was in good shape after this weeks training. The Croatian is crucial to the Tigers attacking threat and has formed a promising early strike partnership with January addition Dame N’Doye.
N’Doye signed for a reported £2.2 million and has already repaid that fee with a return of three goals in his first three starts. After a poor performance at Stoke and a somewhat underwhelming draw against Sunderland, this game is one of only two particularly ‘winnable’ ties for Hull. Leicester were a little unfortunate at Manchester City, being denied two strong penalty shouts but they did have some luck at the KC Stadium earlier this season when they withstood a barrage of pressure to take all three points back to the King Power with a 1-0 win.
Likely Line-Ups:
Leicester City (5-4-1): Schwarzer, Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Upson, Konchesky, James, Cambiasso, Mahrez, Schlupp, Kramaric.
Hull City (3-5-2): McGregor, Dawson, Bruce, McShane, Elmohamady, Livermore, Huddlestone, Meyler, Robertson, Jelavic, N’Doye.
Prediction:
Leicester City 1-1 Hull City
