Carl Shutt is God

Not really hull were poor but still we gave them chances especially in the 1st half. We struggled against a poor side it all just felt a bit flat. The positive is we created chances Fletcher should have scored.

It was worse than I expected and I wasn't expecting much. 1st half was shocking. Improved after the break but our midfield is non existent and full backs not good enough especially playing that formation. Fletcher should have had 3 goals though. 3 great chances. Hull were awful and we never looked like winning.

Is Sam Smart?

We can moan about referees it's part of the fun of going to football. Neil Swarbrick provided great entertainment last season.

During the "golden generation" period we constantly fell into the trap of trying to shoehorn players in which meant we never got the best of many of the players. It was clear as day Gerrard and Lampard, two fine players, were not right to play together in the centre and we had no quality on the left so played Cole there and later I think Trevor Sinclair. We had the players to do better than we did and look at the top players club form they tended to have a ball winner with them who allowed them to play their game. For years we just stuck with it. All that said I think a lot of England's failing have come down to a mentality issue and not having the mental strength required to deal with the pressure put on them by the press.

That goal!!

Obviously Nuhiu and Joao have triggered massive bonuses for their number of goals scored and we can't afford to play them

The rumour has been kicking about for a while now and whilst ever the players are not in the team they will persist. If we were winning with the players we have available then these rumours may well have never started but as we have been utter garbage some fans will cling to rumours like this especially with the kit issues the expensive tickets and general bad feeling around the club this season it makes fans more likely to believe these things. Personally I don't believe it as it's just too far fetched that all those players would be ok with it and not one of them would say anything, especially when they could have left in January.

There will always be fans on both sides in these situations. There are plenty who always take a stance against the club no matter what. I am sceptical purely because we have seen players with leg braces, we have seen evidence players we have had surgery and most of all how many professional footballers would agree to feign injury, including during a transfer window where they could leave the club, which could damage their career as teams might not want to buy them if they have had a long term injury. Additionally if this was true it is deception on a massive scale and no player would ever want to sign for us again and I cannot see that many players being a part of it and not saying something about it publicly (and I don't mean to a random fan and then posted on facebook).

I have just come back from Hillsborough where I happened to bump into Barry Bannan and he told me the club won't let him train because the club are going to have to pay for a hair transplant if he scores another goal for the 1st team. I took a pic with my son as proof that I have just seen him.....

I can see why these rumours persist when we have so many first team players out for so long. However this thread originates from someone no one knows anything about posting that Sam Hutchinson hasn't been allowed to TRAIN. Seriously why do people choose to believe stuff like this. I am sceptical that the injuries are contract related seeing as every single one of the players were injured before the January transfer window and could easily have been sold at a massive loss rather than sit there for 6 months being "injured" whilst losing fitness and value. Would any professional footballer allow a club to stop them training or playing without kicking up a fuss. With up to 15 players out one of them would have said something rather than damage their own career with a long term injury which isn't real which would possibly put other teams off. If this was really true then obviously we won't sign players going forward because it would be common knowledge within the game that the club will give players contracts which they can't afford and damage players careers by then making them pretend to be injured. I find it amazing how easily people believe stuff then feed off it. Football fans are no different to office gossips.

This is still my favourite. It's amazing!!

Joao's scissor kick.

Butterfield has been a massive disappointment since he signed. Doesn't look remotely interested.
