Lads, have a proper look at this table before tonight's game because the stakes could not be higher. Ipswich are sitting on 60 points from just 33 games — one game less than us. They are RIGHT there breathing down our necks. If they beat us tonight at Portman Road: That's a 3 point swing in...

We rented in the Avenues for three years before buying and the rent went up every year. First year was five twenty, by the time we left it was five ninety. That was a few years ago so I can believe it's pushing seven hundred now. The Victorian flats look gorgeous but a lot of them are draughty...

Dave's Plumbing on Anlaby Road. He's a one man band but he's reliable, reasonably priced, and he actually turns up when he says he will which puts him ahead of about 90% of tradespeople. Fixed our boiler last winter for about a hundred and fifty quid including parts. His number is on his van but...

I only went to Boothferry Park a handful of times near the end because I was too young for most of its life. But I remember my grandad telling me stories about going there in the 60s and 70s and it sounded like a completely different world. He used to say the crowds were massive and the...

Craven Cottage for me. Fulham's ground is class. Right on the Thames, tiny and old school but proper charming. Had a pint in the pub by the river before the game and it felt like a completely different world from the Championship. The cottage itself literally has a cottage in the corner of the...

We looked at Kingswood and decided against it for exactly the reasons you mentioned. It felt like it could be anywhere in England — no local identity. We ended up buying a 1930s semi in Anlaby instead and love it. Bigger rooms, bigger garden, more character, and it was cheaper. New builds have...

Doram is the one for me too. Been going there for years and never had a bad meal. The mixed grill starter is unreal. My wife reckons Pasha on Newland Ave is better for Turkish food if you’re counting that as well. Either way the Avenues area is class for food generally.

Hull every day of the week and I’m not even being biased. Well maybe a bit. But seriously, the cost of living alone makes it a winner. My cousin bought a three-bed semi in Anlaby for what a one-bed flat costs in Leeds city centre. Quality of life matters more than having a Harvey Nichols.

I know most people on here will say Dean Windass is the greatest Hull City player of all time and I get that because of the Wembley goal. But I want to make the case for Chris Chilton. Over 190 goals for Hull City. That record has stood for over fifty years and I don't think anyone is ever going...

The classic East Yorkshire suburb debate. If you’re looking for somewhere just outside Hull city centre with good schools and a family-friendly feel, these three always come up. But which is actually the best? Anlaby: More affordable of the three, good transport links, big Sainsbury’s and other...

Kids are expensive enough without having to spend a fortune on entertainment. Thankfully Hull’s got loads of free stuff to keep them occupied. Here’s our family’s tried and tested list: Hull Maritime Museum — Free entry, recently refurbished, and the kids love the whale skeletons and the fishing...

Right, let’s have this debate. The Hull accent is one of the most distinctive in England and people seem to either love it or absolutely hate it. I’m proper proud of it personally. When I’m away from home and I hear someone say “nerr” instead of “no”, it’s like hearing a mate’s voice. It’s part...

My dad took me to Boothferry Park when I was about 7. Can't even remember who we played but I remember the smell of the burgers and the noise of the crowd and I was hooked. That was back in the early 80s when we were proper rubbish but it didnt matter. Once you're in you're in and theres no...

QPR always seem to give us a game no matter what form they're in. Remember when they turned us over here a few seasons back when they were bottom of the table. Never take anything for granted in this league. That said we should be winning this one. 2-0

Something a bit different from the usual doom and gloom. I've been thinking about this for a while — if you had to pick Hull City's all-time greatest XI, who gets in? Any formation, any era. Players you actually watched, not ones your grandad told you about. Here's mine. I've gone 4-4-2 because...
