Indeed it is!
I could never support Wigan and have been to virtually all the Cup Finals since 1972 - have seen Hull win as underdogs before and believe they will do it again -just hope it is a great day.

A good advert for the game ahead of the world cup settled in the last minute with a drop goal will do.

I think Hull will win, prompting mass suicides over here in East Hull. I will then be forced to write some new song lyrics on the tube after the game.

Yeah, it will be a bit of a bugger that.



I think Hull will do it.

I dont think we will but hope i'm wrong

What will it change to?

Old Faithful, you've won once at Wembley?

Or will you focus instead on your own teams short comings of being unable to reach a major final for a very, very long time?

Here's the curiosity from our POV - If you win on Saturday, that'll be by my count 3 major trophies (Prem '91, CC '05 and '13), since we last won a 'top tier trophy' of our own. Will you then move away from 'major finals' to 'major trophies'? Or are you now so wedded to reaching finals, rather than winning them, as a measure of success, that to do so would be awkward?

Thing is our short comings pale into insignificance to the pain you'll feel if you come up short once again, the song will dig the knife that little bit deeper




I think youll win BTw and half of me isn't bothered until I read posts like yours and hope the cherry pie tastes that bit sweeter on Saturday night.

Almost as many trophies in that period of time as matches you've attended

Little statistic for you:

In the last 25 years, a Yorkshire side has only won the cup 5 times. 3 of these were all Yorkshire finals, and only 1 came against Lancashire opposition.

Not far off.

Which reminds me, I must get a ticket for the London Broncos game.

Enjoy your weekend mate.


PS. I've backed Hull at 5-2 today - I'm not a big gambler, as you know, but those are ridiculous odds, IMO. Could even have got 13-5, but my colleague doesn't have a Bet Victor account. It'll pay for my trip up, at least.
