Looking at Gibbo, I think a semi's all he can hope for.

When we go there next year surely one of the chants must be: Is this your training ground, Is this your training ground, etc and we do all have to go up with binoculars, rent rooms at the golf course and cancel as late as possible, smile at everyone we meet cause we have teeth, offer them vouchers for slimming world, ask them what it's like to be a Geordie, etc. As for the atmosphere here, very muted. I couldn't tell the score at all from watching people but eventually clocked it might have been Hull cause they had some people walking round with medals on having photos taken with them. The bug-eyed northern filth just sang 'oh when the reds' ... I guess they just want to be us. Only regret is I didn't pack a Saints shirt cause I didn't want to tempt fate. Otherwise I'd wear that out and have fun with the tigers. Hope they don't maul.

Just walked past Wembley Stadium (I was up here for the football, but it got cancelled) and saw a sign congratulating Hull City. Did I miss something? Been out all day. And to the person who first wondered who the first team to lose a semi (oo er) and a final would be; you sir, must be the scion of Nostradamus. Any chance you fancy doing some spying, oops, observing for us in the near future? I hear we might have a vacancy. Take that with a pinch of salt, if you wish. Now off to read the Sunderland/Newcastle and other teams' forums.

Support Hull?

WTF are 'optics'? xG x xS x 5 tons of bullshit?

Given that he seems to have agreed he can be the fall guy, I expect him to fall on his sword as that may mean he gets something from us as a goodwill gesture, we get to make up some pony about morals and depending on how his 'punishment' pans out, he'll be back in a job elsewhere after a while which I expect him to make a success of. As it'll be abroad and I don't see him coming back to England, he can investigate other teams as much as he wants and no-one will even notice. As long as he takes Salt along with him who, I have no doubt, played the victim card (he could have gone to Parsons and said he can't break the rules) then good riddance. We can take Will Still back. Looking forward to see what he can do now Armstrong has gone.

Up to 22 million (cost of a downer and a crisp packet) the money's better spent spunking it up a wall.

Terrible. What have you done?

Yes. But actually, I then wouldn't mind if Hull won and good luck to them.

I think in the circumstances (and always, otherwise) the team that finished third should get promoted. So Millwall should go up.

If anyone does, especially someone who apparently practises law, they're a fucking moron.

About time we changed the words: Oh when the spies, Come sneaking in Oh when the spies Watch you from the road I want to be on t'internet Making dodgy claims Oh when the spies Are in your back yard/golf course* *Edit as you see fit.

Wanted to look good for the Daily Mail.

Is that Craig 'Bob and no' Hope?

But ... I like Lego.

Possibly in part cause he looks like Robbie Savage and partly cause he's a bit of a dirty bastard (ask Leo when he didn't 'assist the referee').

In that case I'll sue Ayling for adversely affecting all of my disabilities. I'll win; I have more.

Why is there even a defence to that stupid 'allegation'. Given the background noise, repeating things would be normal as would it be in the case of a 'heated debate' as it's natural behaviour. Perhaps the referee could have stopped Ayling kicking Leo all the time by sending him off as he should have done.

Until he cramped up, but he really reads tackles well. Nice to see the skill hasn't been lost.

No just a training session seen video.

You mean make it a home game for them?

Can't watch it: might be spying. Go and do the gardening and don't listen to the radio until July.

Why do they need to when it's self-combusting?

11 hours and no comment until now. 0/10: don't come back again.

A well-considered post. I wonder who wrote it?
