I want fc to do well i dont expect ,that way i dont get disapointed ,works for me

yet you are happy to insinuate that others "expect" rather than "desire", but hey, if that suits you then fine.

Good tactics those..I think I will have to adopt them at least I will not trip over my pet lip every time we play

what you describe is not optimism.

No... it is just a safer method than the 5 pints and a handful of prozac needed by FC fans

Aye...that is before the Voddy

Lustral ....that sounds like some kind of sex aid

sorry did i forget to mention i'm optamistic aswell

There have been those who, whilst not exactly saying they expect FC to be winning silverware, constantly go on about us being a massive club and that we should be at least challenging for trophies.
Last time I looked, we were still in the C.C. and still in contention for the play offs.
The reading on this forum of late has been all doom and gloom. So, before I repair to the garage with the hosepipe, and the Hemlock wine, can someone tell me how we are a 'massive' or even 'big' club. We have never dominated the scene like Wigan, St. Helens or Leeds.

you are misjudging what [isome[/i people have said, we play in a state of the art stadium, we operate at full cap, we have a lot of season pass holders, all of those things mean we [ishould[/i be competing, the reason we aren't has been a constant for the last 3 years, a poor coach.

It isn't "all doom and gloom", it is "reality".

I take it you weren't an FC fan before SL?

I think most Hull fans do not think we have a "God given right to win", I know I don't. However, the frustrations of the last three seasons are that the same obvious problems on the field keep re-occurring. For example,

• Players playing out of natural position.
• Poor bench rotation and selection.
• Nonexistent progress of young players.
• No obvious improvement of younger players that break into first team.
• The fact we haven’t had a healthy half back in four years.
• Players regularly not turning up for perceived lower key games.
• Slow play of the balls.
• No kicking game.

The list goes on.

Yes I was. I can remember the late 70's, early 80's when we had some success, without totally dominating.

poor management has stopped hull totally dominating,whenever we have had some success instead of consolidating,we have flogged players off.hulls record of trophy winning pales when you compare it to wigan,saints and leeds.it amazes me how saints,no matter how many players and coaches they change always seem to be able to continue playing fast attacking rugby and stay in the top 4.
