Millwall are always a tough side to play against. Very physical team and dangerous from set pieces. We need to start fast and get the crowd behind the lads. If we score first I think we win this. Going with a 2-1 Hull win.

Feels like a proper statement game. Stay calm, take our chances and silence the crowd. Come on City.

I’ve got a feeling this will be tight, but I’m backing us. If we stay organised and take our chances when they come, we can edge it. Portsmouth will have their spells, especially early on, but our defence has looked solid and we seem more composed lately. Going for a 1–2 win to the Tigers. Late...

Me and a few mates play five a side on Sunday mornings and we're looking for a new pitch because the one we've been using at the sports centre has gone up in price again. Forty quid an hour is taking the mick for a pitch with more holes than a colander. We've tried the Costello Stadium before...

Signed up for a gym membership on January 2nd like the absolute cliche that I am. Went five times in the first week. Felt incredible. Was going to get a six pack by March and look like a Greek god by the time we're at Wembley for the playoff final. It's now February and I've been twice this...

Absolutely. And I say this as someone who watches the Premier League religiously as well. The problem with the top flight is that you basically know who's going to finish in the top four before the season starts. The Championship is pure chaos. Any team can beat any other team on any given...

Polar Bear and Welly are still going strong to be fair. I've seen some great bands at both this year. The problem is getting people through the door. Everyone's skint, a night out costs a fortune compared to ten years ago, and people would rather stay home and watch Netflix. I play in a band...

Iron House Gym on Anlaby Road is where the serious lifters go. It's not fancy. No smoothie bar, no spa, no towels folded into swans. Just proper equipment, heavy weights, and people who actually know what they're doing. About twenty five quid a month and it's never too busy because the casual...

Mate Beverley Road has been a building site since before I was born. I'm convinced the roadworks are some kind of art installation at this point because they never actually finish anything. Just cones and barriers and one lane of traffic moving at walking pace. Forever. The best bit is when they...

Not every away game is on telly and even when it is finding somewhere that's actually showing it can be a pain. So let's make a list of pubs and bars in Hull that reliably show Hull City away games. The Brickmakers near the ground shows everything but it's a trek if you're in the city centre...

I love the MKM but let's be honest the atmosphere is inconsistent. Some games it's rocking, other games you can hear individual conversations from across the stand. For a club pushing for promotion we should be doing better. The East Stand is where most of the noise comes from but it's not...

My barber just retired and I need a new one. Been going to the same bloke for about eight years and now I feel lost. The thought of walking into a random barbershop and hoping for the best gives me actual anxiety. I'm in the city centre area mostly so somewhere around there would be ideal. Don't...

I don't care what anyone says this lad is the best striker we've had since Abel Hernandez. Fifteen goals already and he's only getting better. His movement is class, his finishing is clinical, and he actually looks like he wants to be here which is more than you can say for some of the loanees...

Six months ago half the fanbase wanted him gone. Now we're sitting in the playoff places and playing some of the best football I've seen at the MKM in years. What's changed? For me it's the pressing. We actually look like we have a plan now instead of just hoofing it forward and hoping for the...
