I work near Trinity Market so I'm in there about three times a week. The Thai place is my regular. Green curry with rice for seven fifty and it's properly spicy if you ask for it. The only downside is the seating. At lunchtime on a weekday it's rammed and finding somewhere to sit can be a...

The real secret is the streets behind Walton Street. There's a few residential roads that don't have permits and are about a ten minute walk from the ground. I'm not telling you exactly which ones because then everyone will park there and ruin it. But if you have a drive around about an hour...

Yes. Next question. Seriously though it's been the obvious weak point all season. Every time we play a team with a decent right winger we get exposed down that side. I like the lads who've filled in there but it's not their natural position and it shows under pressure. We need someone who can...

Hartlepool. Enough said. Though actually the worst for me was an FA Cup game at some non league ground, can't even remember where it was. Roped pitch, a stand that held about 200 people, and a portakabin for the toilets. We won but it was one of those days where you question every life decision...

I watched it in the pub and even there the emotion was mad. When we scored the second goal people were literally on the floor. Then as Arsenal came back the whole place just went quiet bit by bit. By extra time nobody was even talking. Just staring at the screen. Gutting. But you know what, ten...

Definitely a turning point. I remember before 2017 the general attitude was almost apologetic about being from Hull. Now people are genuinely proud. The physical improvements are obvious but the attitude shift is the real legacy. We stopped accepting that Hull was rubbish and started believing...

Couldn’t agree more mate. I moved away to Manchester for a few years for work and honestly couldn’t wait to get back. Manchester’s great and all but Hull just has something about it. The pace of life, the people, the fact you can get to the coast in 20 minutes. Plus my mortgage here is less than...

One of the best things about following Hull is the away days. Some of them are class, some of them are awful, and some are so random they stick with you forever. My top away grounds following the Tigers: St James' Park. Newcastle is just an incredible ground. 52,000 capacity built into the...

I know buying is the dream but for now I’m renting and trying to find a decent place in Hull. The rental market here is actually quite competitive, especially near the university. I’m looking for a two-bed flat or house, ideally in the Avenues area or west Hull. Budget is about £550-650 a month...

I feel like Hull’s pub scene doesn’t get enough credit. We’ve got some cracking boozers in the city centre and I want to know your favourites. Here are mine: 1. Ye Olde White Harte — Arguably the most historic pub in Hull. The plotting room where the English Civil War basically kicked off is...

Been looking at our numbers this season and theres a clear pattern that explains a lot of our inconsistency Set pieces. We are awful at defending them. Goals conceded from set pieces this season is well above the Championship average. Corners, free kicks, even throw ins into the box, we look...

They're absolutely dreadful away from home this season, bottom 3 for away form if I'm not wrong. If we can't beat this lot at the MKM we might as well pack it in I reckon we'll come out flying. Crowd should be decent for a Saturday 3pm and we owe them one after that rubbish performance at Loftus...
