The football under Bruce was exciting ,we always looked like scoring.

To be fair, Michael Twiss was a star on Champ Manager. Probably why he signed him
 
Big teams play well on big occasions.

In the semis I have seen:

Wednesday were good at that time and the shitwasp scored a great goal.
Newcastle were good and Shearer was top dollar
Liverpool were a little fortunate but Owen, again top dollar produced when needed.
Arsenal were solid and Seaman produced a wonder save.

Hull are not a BIG team - ok, so they are Premier League - so what, that division is split into 2 anyway.

Yes Hull should win on balance but we have never had a better chance to progress in a semi. They have everything to lose and are expected to win. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If Hull are over confident then great - long may it continue.

UTB
 
Pig Hirst said on Friday night ,that they knew they were going to win as they came out of the tunnel ,they had a team full of internationals who had all played at Wembley and we only had one or two ,the atmosphere coming out was incredible and some of our players froze.

This must be one of our most enduring myths. Owen's goal was simply cosmetic; Diouf had put Liverpool 1-0 up on the night, 2-2 on aggregate. Had we reached the end of extra time like that, Liverpool would have won on away goals. All Owen's goal in Extra Time meant was that had we scored we'd have gone to penalties rather than winning.

To be honest talking of the Liverpool game. We should have had a penalty for one of the current pig goalie's assault on Chief, he then went on to handle it outside the box and was only booked instead of the actual rule of being sent off (changed for the evening for Liverpool's benefit like a new rule invented for their benefit for our first game back in the prem) so Owen's goal should never have stood anyway had the ref followed protocol and given the penalty in the first place. Obviously we would have had to scored the penalty, or use the man advantage to a positive effect.

Michael Brown was about to take the free kick (he had success that season) but Tommy Mooney who had just come on as sub to play for us for the first time insisted on taking it and I was annoyed with Mooney acting as if he is a free kick expert.

If a penalty had been awarded for the foul on Allison at the end of normal time, there's a pretty good chance extra time would not have been required and Owen would never have scored that goal anyway.

Still hoping Mooneys wife gave him a STD for that.

Much to Mrs S's disgust, I have refused to shave since the semi final draw was made. She tells me that I am a fatter version of Rasputin and that I will frighten my new born grand son. Don't think so, he is only four days old but he is/will be a Blade
The beard is doing quite well (that is mine, not his ). May be I will save it so that I can get work in Santa's Grotto.

all of these playoff defeats should come in handy then
 
There's a few over confident posters on this lot

http://www.hullcityindependent.net/...2&selpage=0&limit=30&obf=post_number&obad=ASC

Some stating that their poor showing on ticket sales is because many people are anticipating a double Wembley trip so they are saving their wad for the final - on the other hand we are so pleased to be there that we are splashing the cash as it's our last big day out this season.


Hmmmmnnn - if we get to the final is anyone expecting that we will have shot our collective load and won't shell out for one more rip off? Many of us can;t afford - but we will, won't we. .....IF
 
I had to laugh at the one about us being bigger than them until about 10 years ago.....................WHAT!!!!!

Are they talking about 10 years ago when we were heading for the Semi Finals of both cups and the Play Off Final ?
Are they talking about the three or four years after that 10 year period when we got to the Premier League ?
Are they talking about our couple of seasons in the Championship after relegation from the Premier League when we were playing in front of 24,000 - 29,000 every week.
 
Yeah I meant in the Championship after we came back down Gray.
I'm sure that was still better than Hull were getting at the time.

If I subscribed to this school yard bigger club bs, I would argue we're still and always will be a 'bigger' club. One swallow a summer does not make.
