  1. Here comes the Cloughie and Sir Alf wouldn't be seen dead at Ashton Gate joke. Yes?
  2. Be fair Graham. If City employed Neil they could dispense with midfield and make a fortune by selling Robins' themed neck braces to alleviate the strain for fans staring at the sky, as the ball re-enters Earth's atmosphere. Its win, win.
  3. Exactly. Based on our form, definitely going South.
  4. From the Coventry City website: https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2022/august/news-wednesdays-carabao-cup-tie-will-not-be-played-at-the-coventry-building-society-arena/
  5. Pritchard smashed him after about 30 seconds and was rightly booked. I'm not going into meltdown, Sunderland deserved to win. However, its highlighted, again, that if you don't have a functioning central midfield and are unable to make like for like changes, there's a whole world of trouble ahead. Can we bring in reinforcements with the spectre of FFP looming?
  6. That's all thanks to our Irish groundsman, Des O'Pitch.
  7. His career went downhill after the skiing injury. (Yes, Friday is still here)
  8. He must have watched that last minute defeat at Hull, Are you doubting Tomas? (sorry, its still Friday)
  9. Tomorrow is going to be the biggest attendance, since......? Anyone?
  10. Nay Smith, or Jones come to that Hells Wells Weimann? 'Cos I'm the best man Benarous and loving it Scott your attention Sykes! That hurt Sugar Kane The Ohhhhhhhhh Jays
  11. Dave, the factual, insightful, and beautifully illustrated data is all well and good, but..... how many goals are we going to win by?!!!! ?
  12. Didn't Kevin Costner take him to Molineux and insist that 'Danns is with Wolves'? (sorry its a Friday)
  13. Its going to happen, I can feel it in my water. Excuse me while I pop to the loo.
  14. Mary Earps and Lauren Hemp did okay. ?
  15. Inspirational. Magnificent. Fantastic. Wouldn't it be wonderful if every primary and secondary schoolgirl in England has the opportunity to play football and its embedded in the national curriculum. That would be a fitting tribute to this brilliant team.
  16. You cant see well with that hearing aid! Aliyaah should have been booked in the first half for a foul on Sykes. Then he bodychecked him out of the game in the second half. Ref. Was. A. Disgrace.
  17. Here we go, here we go... Same 11 that started at Bournemouth
  18. I agree, its always good to see a recreation of the greatest goal ever scored in the History of the sport of Association Football.
  19. No, because they'd be too pissed to file any copy.
  20. I remember doing something similar after Michael Owen scored his wonder goal against Argentina, at the 1998 World Cup. My then 6 month old daughter was in floods of tears and I had to take her into the garden.
  21. For all you nerds...... Every signing Hull City have made ahead of Championship opener vs Bristol City - Hull Live (hulldailymail.co.uk) The Tigers open their Championship campaign when Bristol City visit the MKM Stadium on 30 July. COMMENTS By George Bennett 16:00, 24 JUL 2022 SPORT It’s just six days until Hull City kick-off the new Championship campaign when they play host to Bristol City at the MKM Stadium next Saturday. Shota Arveladze has bolstered Hull’s squad with eight new additions in the summer transfer window. Hull comfortably preserved their Championship status with a 19th place finish last term and will be looking to kick-on during Arveladze's first full season at the helm. As supporters prepare for another season in the second-tier, here are all eight of the Tigers' signings so far this summer. Nathan Baxter Baxter has re-joined Hull on a second season-long loan from Chelsea after spending the previous campaign at the MKM Stadium. The 23-year-old was initially signed to deputise for Matt Ingram when he arrived at the club last summer. He made his Championship debut in a 2-0 win at Barnsley in November 2021 and retained his place between the sticks for 12 matches until a hand injury ruled him out for 10 games. He was restored into the starting XI for the final four league matches of the season, while Ingram headed out on an emergency short-term loan at Luton Town. Tobias Figueiredo Figueiredo featured 28 times for Nottingham Forest last season as he helped them return to the Premier League after a 23-year hiatus. He was deemed surplus to requirements by Steve Cooper following their Championship play-off final victory, after spending four-and-a-half years at the City Ground. The 28-year-old initially joined Forest on-loan in January 2018 before signing on a permanent basis from Sporting CP in the summer of that year. He made 121 appearances for Forest and will add both quality and experience to Hull’s back-line. Ozan Tufan Tufan will be determined to prove himself in England after his loan deal at Watford was terminated by Roy Hodgson in February. The 27-year-old, who has 65 caps for Turkey, played just seven times for the Hornets in the Premier League. He is a product of Bursaspor’s academy and went onto register four goals and 10 assists in 66 appearances for the Green Crocodiles. He switched to Turkish heavyweights Fenerbahce in the summer of 2015 but has failed to win a single trophy with the club. The Turkish international can play in both a defensive or attacking capacity in the heart of midfield but also has experience as a right-back and right midfielder. Jean Michael Seri The signing of Seri is a real coup for the club. Not only does he have top-flight experience in Portugal, France, England and Turkey, but he also played 33 times as Fulham lifted the Championship title last season. Seri started his career at Ivorian outfit ASEC Mimosas, who are famed for producing some of Ivory Coast’s biggest talent, including the likes of Didier Zokora, Yaya Toure, Kolo Toure, Salomon Kalou and Emmanuel Eboue. He started his European adventure with a loan stint for FC Porto’s B team. Since then, Seri has taken in spells at Pacos de Ferreira, OGC Nice, Fulham, Galatasaray and Bordeaux respectively. His spell at Nice was perhaps the finest of his career as the Eaglets finished 3rd in the French top-flight and Seri was named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Season in 2016-17. Dogukan Sinik Sinik completed his move to Hull City from Antalyaspor on Wednesday. He has spent his entire professional career at Antalyaspor, bar a loan spell with third-tier outfit Antalya Kemerspor in 2017-18 and made 122 appearances for the club. The 23-year-old enjoyed his best individual campaign for the Scorpions last term – scoring three goals and providing seven assists in 32 league appearances. His performances even earned him his first call-up for Turkey in March 2022. Sinik has made a good start to his international career with two goals in his first five caps. Oscar Estupinan Only bottom place Barnsley (33) scored fewer goals than Hull (41) in the Championship last term. Keane Lewis-Potter finished as their leading goal scorer with 12 goals but left for Brentford this summer, while Tom Eaves and George Honeyman, who scored five each, have also left the club. Therefore, it’ll be intriguing to see who takes up the goal scoring responsibilities for the Tigers next season. If Estupinan can adapt to English football then he could be a very good bet. The 25-year-old joined Vitoria de Guimaraes from Colombian side Once Caldas in 2017. He struggled to break into the side during his first two seasons in Portugal and was loaned out to Ecuadorian outfit Barcelona SC Guayaquil and Turkish side Denizlispor respectively. Estupinan returned from Turkey to score eight times in 23 matches in the Portuguese top-flight and enjoyed his best scoring season yet with a further 15 goals in 28 matches last term. He made his debut for Colombia in June 2022 and joined Hull on a free transfer after his contract with Vitoria expired at the end of the season. Benjamin Tetteh Benjamin Tetteh was announced as Hull’s eighth signing of the summer transfer window on Saturday. He has spent the last two seasons in Turkey with Yeni Malatyaspor – amassing 14 goals and 10 assists in 60 appearances. He started his European career with Standard Liege but failed to break into the side in Belgium. A move to Czech Republic reignited his career as he joined Sparta Prague following his loan spell with Bohemians Prague during the 2017-18 campaign. Tetteh scored 11 times in 28 matches during his debut season at Sparta Prague and scored a further eight goals in all competitions in his second and final campaign in Czech Republic. He won the Czech Cup in 2018, setting up the winning goal for Guelor Kanga in the final against Slovan Liberec. Tetteh has also played seven times for Ghana and could feature at the 2022 World Cup as they face a group containing Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea. Allahyar Sayyadmanesh Sayyadmanesh signed permanently for Hull City from Fenerbahce on a four-year contract with an option for a further year on 9 July. He joined the Tigers on-loan in January. He scored once in 12 appearances and was named Hull City’s Player of the Month in April 2022. The 21-year-old joined Fenerbahce from Iranian side Esteghlal but made just three appearances for the Turkish outfit. He spent a short stint on-loan in the Turkish second-tier with Istanbulspor, before joining Zorya Luhansk on-loan for one-and-a-half seasons, scoring 15 goals in 50 matches.
