Match Day Thread Hull City v Sunderland

Showed it on TV last night, he's like a caged animal.

 

Very worrying - all the hallmarks of a caged animal - frustrated, locked in, no way out unless he sacrifices his reputation and low tails it back to Mother Russia for a reception of smirking schadenfreude, an ominous-looking failure on what seems to be his very own and very singular adventure into unfamiliar territory - no confidantes, no soccer sages to speak to in his native tongue, no one to shoot the breeze with, no one familiar who he knows and respects for plain talking advice and constructive criticism, grappling with communicating in a new language, watching half his original assumed team walk away before he can stamp his imprimatur, family left at home 1000s of kilometres away. The guy is currently in a Kafkaesque nightmare and his only remaining defence is just a ruse to bide time - his smiling mask that is wearing thinner with every day. His sideline behaviour is probably a reflection of how his mind is working every moment 24/7 - he looks like a man in severe crisis mode who does not have a crisis management team to help him formulate a meaningful rescue plan - his thoughts are bouncing out in all directions and all bouncing back again as there ain't nobody else there to absorb them, to clarify them, to criticise them or to enhance them. He is in a very dark cave.

 

There are bestselling writers who don't reach those levels of descriptive narrative, Ullofaman.

 

Ullofaman writes romantic fiction for a living.

 

Well in reality it didn't, just the figure they announced did.

 

Does he do the ratings for atmosphere etc for FC and Rovers matches in the HDM?

 

Bit like when Ken Bates was in charge of Leeds. Put prices up to 30 quid and closed the upper tier. Difference been of course that Leeds fans deserve misery.

 

I think Bates closing the upper tier was down to winning his case against the police over the way they charged the club. Opening the upper tier became quite a costly exercise as it altered the number of police that could be billed for and thus expensive and pointless when crowds didn't necessitate it. Unfortunately if TWS carry on doing well hey may need to open it on a regular basis. Let's hope not.

 

Yeah I think you are right. I know he was asked why he did just no charge a tenner and fill the ground. His answer was he wasn't bothered as charging 30 quid got him the same return.

 

Yesterday has given me renewed hope. Leeds were total ****. The tables can still lie at this early stage. Although maybe not in our case.

 

Such is my lack of interest in football in general nowadays that I haven't seen the Championship game highlights.
But thanks for brightening up my Sunday with that news about Leeds.

 

I gave Kingsley the benefit of doubt first couple of games. He will have a lot to do to prove his isn't crap!

 

In my opinion, the name change and all that surrounded it was worse. If anyone was going to lose interest, it was then.

But we were in the PL and doing fairly well so most people kept their interest.

 

I thought Larsson was ok. Worth a six.
Dicko 3 or 4. For me. All the slating of henriksen has let him off the hook. He was gash.

 

Attendance figure courtesy of Kim Jong-un...lying ****s.

 

much as it's great to see him at the KCOM, isn't this a bit out of order from a Leicester perspective? Shouldn't he have been in Huddersfield, even if not on the bench?

 

Campbell has to start next week. He's a better player in every aspect.

And yes I'm a member of the Campbell fan club.

 

I think we're struggling to get over Robertson - a massive loss. Can't we just steal him back from Klopp?
