"I'm more pissed off with the media that keep calling it a Yorkshire derby. I don't blame Hull for celebrating, but the day they are in Yorkshire, I'm a pig fan. " - axel smeets

"Talking of respect I do not respect Hull Tigers at all. They have simply got to be the luckiest team in history. Nearly go out of business due to crap crowds and having to walk around with blankets just to survive (nothing against this by the way I used to respect Hull at this point and felt sorry for them for having David Lloyd involved) but to then, because of some historic anomaly, when they we were separate from the rest of Britain but still claiming to be in Yorkshire, had white phone boxes instead of joining in with the rest of the country, got a free stadium. Hence the plastic fans arrive. You say some long in the tooth fans miss the Derbies. It was never a Derby your in and out of Yorkshire so often I bet the majority of East Hull don't know whether they are in or out now. I never considered it a Derby and I had the Mis-fortune of having to live in Hull at the time Keith Edwards saw the light and came back. There can't be that many long in the tooth fans left you only had a maximum of 4,000 on a good day at Boothferry. All the plastics you have now can't even remember then. Then you make such a cock up of your finances despite the free stadium that you are weeks if not days from going out of business when Haslam steps in. Wendy were slightly more lucky than you regarding how they were about to go to the wall, however Hull have been unbelievably lucky twice now, so I don't respect Hull or any club like MK Dons that has a football team plonked in their city. If it was built up over years of community then fair enough but Hull's was not as they would still be on 4,000 crowds if it wasn't for the free MFI KFC stadium. Have you walked from the Changing room to the pitch its like the walk on Spinal Tap where they can't find the stage." - jezzablade from Selby.

What derby is this?

Haslam?

Harry Haslam?
 
They're through to the final already

"Sunderland gifted them 3 goals today. We certainly have nothing to fear. " - Kenilworth

"Fact of the matter is that if you get a side like Hull in the semi-final it is a dream come true." - Woodwardfan

"Que sera sera whatever will be will be we're in the Europa League Que Sera sera!" - oaklandrdblade

"so how would this happen? we'd have to beat hull and get to the final and hope arsenal qualify for the champons leeeeg?" - borbokis "both of those things will probably happen" - Gavlar

"as Wigan win at City...need to play Arse in the final now." - sportinguista on playing in europe next season.

Countered by a small amount of common sense by SwissBlade - "we can't be complacent or even believe that we just have to turn up to win."

"Talking of respect I do not respect Hull Tigers at all. They have simply got to be the luckiest team in history." - JezzaBlade from Selby. Yes, I think we have been extremely lucky to be screwed over consistently by arsehole owners holding the club back <doh>

Is education a problem across all of Yorkshire?

"I'm more pissed off with the media that keep calling it a Yorkshire derby. I don't blame Hull for celebrating, but the day they are in Yorkshire, I'm a pig fan." - axel smeets. Shame your change of allegiance will result in you missing a Wembley FA cup semi final appearance.

"It is technically in Yorkshire, but in a Primordial sense it just isn't. I genuinely only see West and South as 'real Yorkshire' in all honesty. Yorkshire is a culture, as much as a county, and I aren't convinced North or East come into this category. " - blader. Interesting, so the city of York isn't in real Yorkshire? You know, the county named after it? <doh>.

Also strong opinion that we're just a plastic club full of plastic fans who followed their team hunting glory in the lower leagues for almost forever.

"No pressure in this game and we CAN treat it as a day out. Bit of a plastic team are Hull,and very beatable." - gavtheblade

"Hmm after the Citeh/Wigan result today i dont know weather i would have prefered Hull or Wigan. Both plastic clubs with plastic fans any road." - Kev Gee

To be fair, there's more common sense on there than ****, but there's some royal bullshit nonetheless.

Thanks for posting that clip.

Quintessential porcine.

The dregs of Yorkshire from where folk still address each other as 'Thee'.
 
We've got Philip Larkin, they've got Tony Capstick.

We've got Sir Tom, they've got Sean Bean.

That 'Greasy Chip Butteh' song is truly cringeworthy.
 
Where were you when you were ****?...they will sing.

Playing you ****s on a regular basis...will be the answer.
 
All the Wednesday fans I know are nowhere near as bad as those pricks.

True. Blades fans are more up themselves than the Wendies. Looking at the Blunts squad, Hull City will have to play very badly not to win. Both teams at there best and Hull City will win.

Nothing like a good yorkshire invasion of Wembley like. Shame the beer is not as good. Looks like gassy lager that day.
 
You can only assume they think that because we were at the same level for many years or even below them, the quality of our teams in somehow 2014 reflects that.

Stupid ****s <laugh>
 
Sure, the blunts are in with a chance of beating us. Less of a chance then us turning them over 4-0, but a chance all the same.
 
I think our team will be more motivated than theirs.

They seem to think they are playing some team of foreign Fancy Dans who won't fancy it.

Wrong, piggy.

Can see us tearing them a new one as our players grasp their chance of glory.
