Didn't think he was 'wank' Momo but I did think that he failed to impress in 'minor' games against inferior opposition earlier in the season. To be fair, Glenn has improved and is a much better player than we were seeing back then. All credit to him and he now looks the player we hoped we'd signed. Long may he continue to prove many of us 'wrong'.

RAF made a statement that not many would have disagreed with at the time however unpalatable it was. Hull were going great guns and we were struggling. Never in a month of sundays would I have thought, given the way they approached the game, that they would have had such a terrible run of form. And, I'll call anyone a liar if they say they wouldn't have swapped positions with them at the time. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. It's also a nasty weapon in the wrong hands.
And I'll hold my hands up at thinking Whelan was a bad buy. I also thought that we were crazy to stick to principles and still sign Delap after he broke his leg. How utterly wrong I was on the last one.
OS.

Dead right OS. It's amazing how often hindsight comes to bite you in the arse.
Happens to all of us!

Sorry but it seems some people are all to quick to praise other teams and stick the boot into their own, at times like earlier in the season you may have that opinion, such opinions are better kept to yourself. Anyway this was only a reaction to the many people including myself who were saying that Hull had been riding their luck and would inevitably go into free fall, so accusations of benefiting from 'hindsight' are way off the mark.

Hull were better at the beginning of the season and at the moment there isn't a lot to choose between us - 1 point to be exact. Brown used his Premier League experience and got them off to a flyer - good job for them because they are on a terrible run. I think our Manager bought really well in January and now we have good balance to our side. We are playing people in their right places, tactically we are getting better and are playing decent and picking up points. We don't look like a relegation side, but we need to get past 40 points ASAP.
If it wasn't for the bell end Brown a lot on here would prefer Hull to stay up, I hope they do but obviously not at the expense of us. It's about time a big club goes down.

Lige, you would have been a top ranking official in East Germany. In fact, you would have been a top ranking official in Nazi Germany. There's nothing you hate more than people having an opinion that differs from your own. Thank God for the RAF's of this world who are prepared to say what they think...even if they're proved wrong. At least they are showing that they won't toe the party line just to be popular.
OS.

It isn't a matter of having a different opinion, he was just joining in the Hull bandwagon which was at nauseating levels earlier in the season, don't go telling me how brave he was joining in with it, it would have been far braver to stick with your own side, he didn't. No shame in rubbing his nose in it now, after all we support Stoke don't we?

You haven't got a clue what H is about. He doesn't join anyone's bandwagon. He's the one bloke who, when we're together, pisses me off big time because he is so dogmatically opinionated. RAF is his own man with his own opinion...and long may that remain so, even if he is proved wrong. Oh, and when he is proved wrong, he'll be the first one to hold his hand up and say so. He doesn't hide behind mistaken platitudes like some I know.

I love slangking for the blind fury he has when people have different opinions to his. There's a childhood trauma behind it all. Mark my words.

Mark...I agree. I know that a shit childhood has made me into a bitter and angry old man...or perhaps it's because I flogged my bishop too often as a boy. BTW, I'm still trying to work out whether the '99 cents' reference to ST is a compliment or a subtle insult [in a friendly sort of way, of course.) I reckon your upbringing on the borders of East Germany is the reason why you trok ni cdoe. M.

Was just thinking that it is great when we are doing well, we don't have to endure the likes of greyman and winker on here, oldstokies fellow traitors. I don't blame oldstokie wanting to crush the piss-taking after all he's got more skeletons in the closet than Fred West. By the way greyman how is your boy Mike Newell going on these days? ??? ;D

Yh fair enough they were better than us because they were going everywhere with loads of confidence but since Tango man made them sit on the pitch at half time they bin shit and i hope they go down because of all the braggin they were saying there going to europe and all this its made everyone hate them. and thats why their doing soo shit because phil brown as played matches then come out to the press and slagged them off soo the next time that team wants to play hull they will want to hammer them because of his smart remarks before. thats why i love pulis because he will never take glory from beating anyone he lets the players have all the praise and he just goes unoticed and he likes it like that and i think hes amazing manager . Well Done Tony !

Lige Whatever skellingtons* OS has got in the cupboard, one of them isn't celebrating a Stoke defeat. Unlike you. I was wrong about Pulis, but there you go. It happens. Except to you obviously.

To be fair to my dad, he said all along Hull would go into free fall and wouldn't swap their position for Stoke's. He did actually say that at the time. However I thought he was fucking mad and would have taken their position ;D

I don't buy this "ooh it was fair enough at the time!" stuff. They had a far easier start than we did, and to make snap judgements based on 6 games seems a bit premature. It was a ridiculous time to be making statements like that one way or the other.

Until Oct 25th 1 Liverpool 9 23 2 Chelsea 9 20 3 Hull 9 20 4 Arsenal 9 19 5 Villa 9 17 6 Man U 8 15 --- 18 Stoke 8 7
After Oct 25th 13 Stoke 23 28 14 Newc 22 23 15 Blackburn 22 22 16 Pompey 22 20 17 S'land 22 20 18 Boro 22 17 19 Hull 22 14 20 WBA 22 14
It can all change with a win but I really fear they'll pip Newcastle and Sunderland. On 34 points now, and I don't see them getting anywhere near 40?
Their game against us looks like being a monster for them. I hope Tango's got his Britney Spears microphone plugged in properly for that one.
Boro A Sland A Lpool H Villa A Stoke H Bolton A ManU H

They've got a few six-pointers in there Hull, haven't they? I think they'll be OK, I can see them beating Man U on the final day, since Man U will probably be champions by then and roll over like they did against West Ham (although Hull probably don't have anyone they'd like to offload to Man U in return for staying up... ) I thought Sunderland were garbage against us at the Brit and can see them struggling. I've a feeling Newcastle might just crawl out of it?

Lige
I don't think so old mate.
As wellas that, I don't recall OS ever turning his back on the club regardless of who was in charge. Which you very publicly did on this here very forum.
Go on, call me a thick cunt for disagreeing with you. It's your catchphrase. It gets funnier the more you say it.
