Also where do these people get off calling the KC the quietest ground in the premier league. We have had one half quiet game all season. I went to OT to watch the tigers against united and 3,000 city fans outsung 72,000 united fans. They were very quiet that day. As were the Blackburn fans - oh yeah as were the Gooner fans. Rubbish stats that are probably made up!!!!!!!
Their only real jaw-dropping result was beating Arsenal at the Emerates.
Home wins against Fulham and West Ham - not great teams.
The four away wins is utterly unexpected, but they had the luck to play Spurs and Newcastle both in the depths of their dispair, plus former-Championship rivals West Brom.
More worrying is only picking up one point from home games against Bolton and Man City.
On balance, Hull have had a great start, but I fear the cracks are appearing and they'll probably spend the bulk of the season in the lower-mid-table range.
So how could we have got our praise from your grad old self then Mr McThomas? It seems it would have been impossible as we have done what has been asked of us by winning these games, even if the opposition were slightly handicapped on occasions. Its almost like.....what mor do you want from us?
We have the wins, and will keep winning this season when our backs are to the wall im sure as our pride, ballsy displays for a fresh premier league club and our general football week attitude really is something to be admired this season. Not many premiership managers would shoot us down if any!
Which leaves me to believe you may be bitter as I see no comments from the proffesional minds on the subject of how they predict us to fall into mediocrocy due to our extreme luck this season.
Which leaves to believe you could be bitter, as we are enjoying ourselves....
You clearly havent seen us play this season have you!? Full 90 mins? Every week? or even nearly that much? You just seen us on Match of The day? Only you know that mate? But it affects your rights on having a valid opinion!;)
Remember this wont you, when we have been the success story of the premiership at the end of the season, never mind the one currently.
And if you think I'm getting carried away Its because I'm enjoying myself and for me, the glass is half full! But I wouldnt expect the same optimism for a bitter opposition fan!
Where are these cracks by the way? If you have seen the games as I aforementioned, the only crack you could criticise was the first half against Bolton!!! You really havent been able to back up any of your beliefs with any facts or precise judgement.....your argument.......is terrible.
Enjoy your run...it may last all season and for many seasons to come for all I know. Or it may have already ended. The truth is, no-one knows.
Believe me, my comments are not bitterness.
My feeling is that there is a terrible gravity in the premiership that drags down teams that don't "belong" in the top. Many teams have a flirtation with the upper reaches, but the gravity seems to be inevitable. Even when smaller teams deny gravity for a reasonable amount of time - Reading and Bolton being examples - gravity still seems to win in the end.
I wish it weren't so, but experience tells me it is.
The next three games will show Hull's metal - Portsmouth and Stoke away, Boro at home. If Hull are to maintain a top-half position, I'd say 4 points are required. Two points or less would indicate (to me) that Hull will drift into the bottom-half.
Would you agree, Tom?
As far as underestimating them, the pundits have been happy to see them lose the last 3 games without taking in to consideration the opponents.
As far yesterday's game, Man City in Jo and Robinho had two players who together cost more than Hull's ground did, that alone puts the performance yesterday in to perspective.
Thanks for the comments though, keep em coming. ;)
Brown obviously thought a lot about him from their brief time working together but we'll have to see how he recovers and comes back.
Back end of last and definetley beginnging of this season, he has showed some fantastic signs of fulfilling his undoubted potential.
This kid has all the hallmarks of a rough diamond.
It really does seem like Phil Brown has taken this kid and shook him up a bit. He's a daft kid with alot to learn but it looks like he could be on the right track.
Its a shame the injury came when it did as he looked the sharpest and eager city player on the park....and I just hope that he can fit back in where he left.
With a bit of grit and determination, I can't see a problem with this. It's a fantastic thing for Hull City, that he's back in training.
Thanks for the comments.
