Very confident for fans of a team in [checks table] 16th, away at a team that is [looks again] 2nd

Since their new manager Leroy Rosenior became manager they have

DRAWN 0-0 away at Millwall
WON 3-2 away at Cardiff
LOST 1-2 home to Reading
DRAWN 0-0 away at Watford
DRAWN 1-1 home to Sunderland
DRAWN 1-1 home to Blackpool
WON 1-0 away at Birmingham
WON 4-1 away at Wigan
DRAWN 1-1 home to Huddersfield

So in their 5 away matches Hull under Rosenior have WON 3, DRAWN 2, LOST 0
This explains their confidence. Also in all these games apart from away to Millwall and away to Watford, they've dominated possession.

So you can expect Hull to be quite attacking and confident, should be an open game leading to us probably going 2-0 up, then we'll sit back parking the bus.

Put me off my Frosties, that did. Cheers Roy.

Good open match or shall we change to defending and attacking on the break ? Either way it’s got to be full of goals ??

I know it's a load of worthless shit, but I can't throw 'em away, too many fond memories

 

[FredZeppelin]

The most upsetting thing about this view is that it seems we are not 'liked' by Wednesday.
What have we ever done to irk them?

“ I’ve looked for him ever since and I will be doing the same again on Friday. I still remember his ugly face so I’m hoping he hasn’t changed, mind you it was 47 years ago however if he’s reading this I am still looking and eventually I will find him. Come on City.”

If you give me my scarf back now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

Dear Hull Fan,

In the spirit of sporting co-operation, the person you are looking for is called genghis but you would be well advised just to let it go.

 

[ElephantBlade]

I’ve never seen so many people picking up and trying to smoke disgarded fag ends as I saw in Hull.

That is my only thought about them.

 

[Blackheath Blade]

Hope it's a chilly night tomorrow. Save me buying a fuckin scarf.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Hull sounds a bit like "Dull" and their big local derby/ rivalry is against "Grim" sby.

Doesn't exactly excite the imagination. Even Sky would struggle to promote it.

They need the guys on it who'll be promoting the renaming to "Wednesday Football Club", to an excited world-wide audience.

This is a quality observation. 10/10, would quote again

 

[biggiesablade]

Best view from in a long time thanks for that Roy. The sweet shop story with the Neeson speech at end cracked me up.

 

[El Volví]

Time to wield out an old joke:

Blade dies and goes straight to Hell.
He'd been a bad lad; nicking Hull City scarves off little kids, kidney punching.....
Anyways, he gets there and says to Lucifer
"Where am I?"
Lucifer replies "Hell"
"Where?"
"Hell"
"Thank fuck for that, I thought you said Hull!

 

[Teofilo Cubillas]

Great read as always Roy,

In about 2011, when I was working on a project in La Paz, Bolivia... I was greatly surprised, when walking around the city, to see that a great many of the street market stalls were just stuffed full of Hull City scarves.

Only later did I find out that one the big footie teams in La Paz plays in the same colours as Hull.
So if anyone is wondering were all those stolen Hull City scarves end up - now you know!

 

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy, I like the view from to be nice & salty, nice one. Weird lot these, about as relevant as Cov fans making up rivalries with us that just don't exist.

 

[Withington Blade]

Amazed there was only a passing reference to FA cup semi. The fact they made such hard work beating a team 2 divisions below them has always previously been source of pride!

He, s got a special set of skills you know!

Weird bitter bunch. Never liked Hull. Always have a massive chip on their shoulders.

 

[Piffle and Tosh]

Is it still the 80s in Hull?

Ner Theyve got Mobile ferns an evryfing

 

[ryza]

grim bastards

 

[BLADES1988]

Its not a rivalry, its not a derby, insignificant little nothing club. I'm about as worried playing this shower as if i had to fight a dead cat with a sword.

 

[LudlamBlade]

Cheers Roy!

I might set up a stall on Bramall Lane tomorrow night selling vintage Hull scarves

I was looking forward to this game, but after reading 'The View From' have decided to give it a miss. The idea of getting 'mauled by the Tigers' both on and off the pitch has filled me with dread. It's a concrete jungle out there, and I can't imagine anything worse than walking into an underpass and hearing the terrifying chant 'Tigers Tigers Rah! Rah! Rah!

If you see them approaching, best advice is to run for your lives.

 

[Caveblade]

I live in East Yorkshire. People from Hull seem to be very inward looking and have massive chips on their shoulders.

City for most of their history veered between shit and bang average. A guy came in and bankrolled them to the prem and a cup final. They hounded him out of the club because he wanted to rebrand them for a more global appeal. Feckin idiots.

The only reasonable city fans I know are my neighbours, the clue is they are not from Hull!

Hope we stuff them, I love wearing a Blades shirt everytime I go for a run just to wind them up.
