I know its funny as ferk, last year Sharp was the turnstile everyone wanted rid of and the seasons scapegoat, he was even offered up as a lamb for slaughter by the doughnut coach at that time, and turner well he was just a bit part cant tackle , no speed, no sense agar purchase last year and now they are both being touted as demi gods ha ha you couldnt write this stuff could you

You've brought a new coach in, who a lot of people seem to rate. He now wants to build his own squad. I think those who said the current one needs dismantling are right. There are some good players, but overall the quality and balance of it hasn't challenged at the top.

For me the key to building something at Hull is to avoid the old mistakes of bringing in a few big names and to invest in your youth set up and bring in quality where you see a gap.

I've enjoyed watching Leeds over the last few years (yes, I know, booo, antichrist etc) because not only have we won things, we've won things using a lot of academy products, and some of our big signings have also been top UK talent. Not only is it more satisfying to see success with that system, but you also get players who are really bought in and committed to what the club wants to do. People like JJB, Sinfield, McGuire and Burrow are good players, but it's been the spirit in the squad that's been the key to success. Gentle will no doubt know that, and that's what he should be trying to do with the cap space the recent departures will create, not just try to bring in a handful of star names to paper over the cracks.

Just my opinion, but a bit of a clear-out is no cause for panic. On the contrary, I can see why you'd be optimistic about it. As an RL fan it'd be great to see Hull playing well and getting massive crowds every week.

Very good post Diablo.

Pretty much spot on.
However you haven't criticised our pricing for away fans, called us morons or codheads or even disparaged the city of Hull. Are you sure you're a Leeds fan?

Good post from a non FC fan.

Where's Dobbo?

I'd say the gentle giant is awakening



All puns intended.

And more to the point, "The Bomber IS Back"? Previous 3 weeks been on here during and post match like a fly on poop. Maybe as a "FC fan" he went to the game?

I went to the game absolutely fantastic.....

Loved it, crowd was great, really enjoyed it. Post some pictures i took later...

As for the challange from Ablett on Manu, what do you reckon will happen? Will both be up for charges?

ablett should get a ban, cant see manu getting one

Ablett should get a ban. He'll probably get off with it and Manu will cop a fine knowing the spineless chumps at Red Hall.

I was always here, just went for a few beers after going to last nights game, and FYI I actually tipped us to win last night...

B*tch
