I’ve been looking at the table again… and honestly, this is in our hands. We’re 3rd. Three points off 2nd. Twelve games left. If someone had offered us this position at the start of the season, we’d have snapped their hand off. We’ve already shown we can beat the best in this league. We’ve taken...

Really think we can get something from this if we stay compact and calm on the ball. Hull’s defence has been solid lately and I reckon Hayden deserves another start.

I'm going full homer and saying we nick second place. The form since January has been automatic promotion form and if we keep this up for the last fifteen games the numbers work. Eighteen wins, seven draws from the remaining games would probably do it. That's optimistic but not impossible based...

The fact that we went through the entire January window knowing left back was a problem and didn't sign one baffles me. We got Gelhardt and Koumas which is great but you don't build a promotion push on vibes and hope. If the left back position costs us in a big game in April nobody should be...

I've been watching the Premier League on telly this season and honestly most of the games are boring. Two sides scared to lose, sitting deep, playing sideways. The big teams just pass it around for ninety minutes and win 1 0 and everyone calls it a masterclass. Meanwhile in the Championship...

Stamford Bridge. Walking down the Fulham Road to an actual Premier League game at Chelsea with my Hull shirt on and people looking at me like I was from another dimension. Inside the ground it was amazing even though we were stuck in a tiny away section in the corner. The whole day felt unreal...

Still hurts. Genuinely still hurts. I was there and when we went 2 0 up I was already planning what I was going to say to my Arsenal supporting mates at work on Monday. Then it all fell apart and I had to spend the train home in silence while they sent me about forty texts. The worst part is...

Humber Street has completely changed the game. Even five years ago there was nothing there after dark. Now it’s probably the best area for a night out in Hull. Welly is a legend though, proper institution. Some of my best nights out have been in that place. The key to Hull nightlife is that it’s...

Dead proud of it. I was at a conference in London last year and someone asked me where I was from because they couldn’t place my accent. When I said Hull they said “Oh I’ve never met anyone from Hull before.” That’s mad isn’t it? We’re a city of 260,000 and people act like we’re from another...

We've got some decent away trips in the Championship this year so thought I'd start a thread where we can share tips for anyone travelling. Already been to a few this season. Sheffield Wednesday was quality, Hillsborough is always a good day out and there's loads of pubs near the ground. The...

Hull’s food scene has genuinely transformed in the last few years. We’ve gone from being a city where your options were basically a Wetherspoons or a chippy to having a proper diverse restaurant scene. I’ve noticed a few new places opening up recently and wanted to see if anyone’s tried them...

This should be fun. Yorkshire’s got three main cities and everyone thinks theirs is the best. So let’s have it — Hull, Leeds, or Sheffield? Leeds has the nightlife, the shopping, and the big city buzz. Fair play. Sheffield’s got the Peak District on its doorstep and a decent music scene. Both...

Watch us somehow make this difficult. Every time we play a team in bad form we seem to drag ourselves down to their level. Hope I'm wrong but I've seen this film too many times. 1-1 draw written all over it knowing our luck

Another week another goal conceded from absolutely nowhere. I'm tired Been watching this club for over 20 years and I swear the defensive shambles never changes. Different managers different players different owners, same result. We concede the softest goals in this division and its been that...
