Hull (a) Post Match Thread

[NorCalBlue]

You predicted we'd lose 0-3 to Arsenal ("being generous") and 0-2 to Watford. That you'd still come in here with another bed wetting prediction after being so spectacularly wrong beggars belief.

So we win every time he predicts a defeat? For F**k's sake don't scare him off!

 

[Blue Smarties]

Delighted we kept s clean sheet and added to our GD. Sterling is becoming a huge player for us.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Yeah, but his team were monsters. We destroyed teams.

Like the time we headed into the final game of the season needing three points for the title and we found ourselves 2-1 down against relegation candidates QPR going into stoppage time?

Or the time we thrashed Blackpool 3-2 with a late winner from Silva?

What about that same season where we drew 0-0 with Birmingham?

The 1-0 drubbing in the home game against Blackpool?

Our 2-1 loss against and 4-3 destruction of a Wolves team who narrowly avoided relegation?

2-2 against Birmingham?

Our 3-2 thrashing of Bolton?

1-0 against Reading courtesy of a 93rd minute goal from Gareth Barry?

The 0-0 demolition of QPR?

The 1-0 annihilation of Wigan with a Tevez goal in the 83rd minute?

These matches were all against teams who were comparable to Hull as they finished in the bottom three with the exception of Wolves in 2011 and QPR in 2012, both of whom finished in 17th.

I love Mancini for winning the title with us but I stick by what I said previously. He never transformed us into a team who routinely thrashed weak opposition.

The OS commentary from the highlights: "Sterling crosses and that'll go down as an own goal!"

The MotD commentary: "Oh, Hull don't deserve that!"

 

[CrownPointBlue]

If we set up right & step right up there's something in this game for us.

We must be cool & calm in the face of their inevitable pressure but quick & decisive in their final third. We must run their defenders back into their box cos they dive in right across their back Four.

Nail Mane & Llana then take our chances.....could be a good night.

Unlike the foul on KdB by Dawson that was clearly intended to put our man off his rhythm and should have been a yellow card, any foul we commit of the same vein will be carded. I will stake my wobbly head of Shaun Goater on it!

Jamie Redknapp was "heartbroken". Fuck me, you'd think he wanted Hull to win or something.

 

[City_Sean]

Thought it was a good controlled win, never really got out of second gear. Second goal was a brilliant counter attack, Silva really impressive.

Bobby completely changed the mentality of the club,players,fans AND OPPONENTS.

He restored our pride & identity,rammed the rags back into their box,faced the GPC down live on tv in front of a massive world wide audience.

Bought world class players.....Yaya,David,Kun. Was denied others who would have taken us to the next level....Hazzard,Sanchez,Van PissPot,Javie Martinez,de Rossi.

Beat the rags at Wembers,won the cup & Championship.....oh sick swan & the Vincent 'park the bus derby'.

Thank you Bobby....Forza Mancini.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Discuss the game please,and not previous managers.

 

[tonea2003]

Compliments of the season to all our Mods.

If that had been a sincere comment,it would have been appreciated.

And there are DVDs available for those unwilling to join us in the present.

It was a good result and our current manager deserves more credit than some fallacy about an old one.

Anyway, anyone who wants a discussion can PM as I doubt there's a platform for it here.

They absolutely did deserve it. The fuckers deserved fuck all from that game. Sick of hearing 'the scoreline was tough on Hull'. Wankers done fuck all but put players behind the ball.

We invited pressure on us in the second half and they still couldn't make it count.

Why is it that we deserve to lose when we can't take our chances but dominate (Chelsea reaction springs to mind) whereas it's really unfortunate when a shite team manages to threaten us for five minutes but then get comfortably beaten?

 

[oldius]

Definitely deserved. I do not understand the support teams get against us, for packing men behind the ball and then trying to hit the big man up front with a hopeful punt. Is that a style that we want to see?

We are and will face it more and more but there is no joy in watching. The commentary on our games is embarrassing sometimes.

 

[come-on-barney]

First of all, we won 3-0 so dry your fucking eyes.

Second of all, Mancini is a bang average manager who happened to be the right guy for us at a specific time. He had as many glaring weaknesses as he did strong points and has achieved next to fuck all since leaving.

Sorry if that sounds harsh but it's the truth. The sooner you and others accept it, the sooner we can stop hearing the nostalgic fantasies of grown men who think he's part unicorn.

He was wasn't he - damn you have quashed my dreams :)

Huge player you can see the fear from defenders when he gets the ball. Pep made a big difference to his game and given him more confidence. Had a little lul and Pep demanded more which he provided.

 

[stonerblue]

I think he's actually pointing for Kelechi to run across.

I'd say he was orchestrating the move. He points twice and does a little whirling gesture.' I'll put it there Dave, you go there Nacho, then Dave can square it across'. Lovely goal.
