Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From Hull

[metty]

Cheers Roy

 

[Blade45]

Just did a rough totting up using transfermrkt - came to just over £72m....almost a third of which is Rhian Brewster

They’ve been out to date for awhile now. There’s no way Oli Arblaster is worth 450k, which is what they have him as.

 

[programmechap]

Lots more draws with Bratfut. Same timeframes: since the start of 1983/84: P30 W15 D11 L4. Since 1992: P20 W11 D8 L1.

Home against Portsmouth must be our best run. They last won at the Lane in 55-6. Since then (league and cup) P24 W20 D4.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Cheers Roy always enjoyed going to hull

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Our squad worth more than £146m?

One hundred billion dollars

It is the best run by miles. All the other long ones have been knocked off in recent years.

 

[Wright1889]

Can’t stand the dirty cod head bastards, and I live in Hull

 

[Houston_Blade]

“Love a night game against this lot.”

I concur, Hull is much better in the dark.

They said worth.. What's Rhian Brewster worth? A packet of haribo and a curly wurly? Although if you were looking at net worth and not spend then you could factor Arblaster, Brooks and Rak-Sakyi in that

 

[crazyblade1889]

Our squad worth more than £146m?

Probably not too far off if you took the below valuations:

Arblaster (20m), Hamer (20m), Rak-Sakyi (20m), Brooks (15m), Souza (15m), Anal (15m), O’Hare (5m), Gilchrist (5m), Burrows (5m), Copper (5m), Peck (?), Moore (2/3m),

 

[beatific blade]

“Other than the FA Cup game at ours when did we last beat this lot at home?. That said, tbf, we don’t play them that often.”

1-0 in 2018 wasn't that when Wilder had a rant at the players after the game?

Yeah I remember being stood there fuming at how awful we were. Terrible performance.

Made up for it when I managed to get there for the 1-3 in 2021 (Billy and Egan x2 headers)

 

[Dark muffy]

Only adults that are C***s? very adultistic that comment. What if like myself, your are in fact an adult with the mind of a child? Am I 50% c**t?

 

[Ecco1889]

I've got Bradford mates who still cling to the Johnstones Paint (or whatever it was called) match when they beat us on pens at BL in front of about 3500 fans in something like 2013.

Lost 6-5 on pens,Erik Tonne missed ours?
Was sat behind dugouts on south stand and Phil Parkinson was getting some right grief that night

 

[Houston_Blade]

Rak-Sakyi (20m)

Hasn’t he played a handful of sub appearances in the PL a few years ago, 3 part games at Championship level and the rest at League 1 level?

I know transfer fees are inflated nowadays but £20m is a bit of a stretch.

 

[LS16Blade]

It was a genuine rivalry from about 1979 to 1986, due to playing them a lot, Keith Edwards moving between the teams, and one very, very close promotion race.

They hated us more than the other way around.

…And, the naughtiness when United fans ran across the pitch and got into the home terracing on the South side of Boothferry Park - with home fans clambering into the seating behind the terrace for safety - seemed to leave a feeling of antipathy towards us amongst Hull fans.

Was it the 1-1 draw in 1976 or the televised 3-2 win in December 1977, when the high jinks occurred?

Bit early for me that one but always trouble at Hull in the early to late 80s. Think that's where any lingering rivalry comes from.

 

[Shadota]

"and more have a rivalry than they think with E.Yorks!"

Correct comment. They think this is a rivalry? I had no idea

 

[Tickhill Blade]

Nice looking ground in its time Boothferry Park, pitch was a bit rough though

 

[brownblade]

Probably not too far off if you took the below valuations:

Arblaster (146m), Hamer (146m), Rak-Sakyi (146m), Brooks (146m), Souza (146m), Anal (not right now thanks), O’Hare (146m), Gilchrist (146m), Burrows (146m), Copper (146m), Peck (146m), Moore (146m),

Corrected them for you.

 

[The Crab]

This one seems bit hostile

Imagine being shithoused about weight by someone from Hull

Cheers Roy

 

[originaltrueblade]

I never think of Dull apart from when we play em…yep Dull


Thanks Roy

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Thanks Roy. The two 0-0 draws in the 89-90 season live short in the memory as two black holes of utter shitness.

I remember the events but not the game.
There was a young lad without hearing or speech who was an absolute nutter ,very much embroiled in the antics.
Also recall the eye level view of the pitch.
Think it was 76

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Nice stuf weird one.

Err nerr, we're fat! What a cockalorum is ull

 

[kingy1889]

Not sure I like the fat shaming. That is it. I have decided they are our number 1 rivals.

Some really strange comments in there.

Thanks, Roy.

I hope we hammer the skinny barstewards

In the home game a Deano header was cleared off the line in the first minute, and he hit the bar in the last minute. Nothing of note happened in between, as we were not great and Hull defended well.

 

[joe casey]

Sorry - I calculated based on what we spent - not on "worth" as thats subjective anyway. In terms of how much the squad actually cost us in transfer fees its circa 72m

 

[Blade45]

Oh, okay then.

If we've only spent 72 million, we've assembled quite a good team with that kind of money, even if it is pricey for Championship.

True - they're guessing then for a pointless argument - likes of Arblaster are worth vastly more to us than any club is currently going to be willing to pay us

As I recall that point was enough to send us top, having taken 15 points from our opening 7 games. I remember being surprised at that when I got the Green Un after the game.
