Cos i doubt that very much.
The team will have peeks and troughs. Thats sport - and if as fans you cant realise that, then youre a bunch of blinkered idiots!

I tell you what........here's some persepctive.
You could be a Bulls or a Wolves fan!

Life is a lot worse when your heading in the wrong direction.

Amazingly...........AMAZINGLY..........(and this may come as a complete shock to some of you people).......but there are 13 other teams in this league doing their hardest too............if you think we're gonna have it our way, all the time.............youre sadly mistaken and need to go back to playing your silly computer games.

This is real life

Quality rant is that, but i think it's a little extreme given it is only a minority of people who are actually lambasting our current situation - with most people significantly more optimistic then they were before the season started.

Pretty much spot on!

Apart from the part about playing silly computer games...nowt wrong with a bit of Football Manager 2009.

I'm with you . It's easy to pick holes in everything. They should change it into our national sport. I reckon we could win at it: in fact we could supply all the players for the national team from West Hull. What do the Aussies call us? Oh yes, Whingeing Poms!

Anyway, this thing you have about computer games, have you played....

Excellent post. Some on here would still be pi$$ing and moaning about the players, coach and club on a daily basis if we were playing like Saints at their best every week, turning in a £1million profit annually and had 5 current Aussie internationals occupying the quota spots.


We have a work-in-progress half back combination, are missing our 2 best outside backs through injury and in theory have two top drawer forwards to come in to bolster a pack that has frankly done far more in the first 5-6 games than I would have thought they were capable of. Yes, the effort was missing last week and, yes, the bench selection and rotation are baffling at times, but overall things for us are better right now than for a lot of clubs in the same "expectation" bracket, i.e. Warrington, Wigan and Bradford. We must win on Sunday, end of story, then let's take it from there.

Really? I thought it was over the top given the small number of people who've actually gone off the deep end.

Still, each to their own I suppose.

It does begin to grate after a while though. We have to face up to the fact that we are not a top team. (At this moment in time)

Given the start we had, if it had been the other way round, some people on here would be out buying socks by the dozen.

If you support Hull Fc, you learn to take the rough with the smooth.

And, compared to last season things are kinda smooth right now.

With the team we have I am very happy with the start, I still think this year is a building season (4th-7th) and hopfully with a couple of top signings (Half back, Centre or Full back) plus Crocker for next season we will be challenging again.
