Hull City thread

Still nothing up front though. Simpson, McLean and Cullen not up to this level and Fryatt cannot do it on his own.

North Ferriby are a great club. I used to play for them :-). Is it at Church Road or the KC? I remember being on the bench when we played City in the East Riding Cup final at Boothferry Park. Bit of a buzz that. I managed to get a NF shirt that was worn at Wembley when they were in the FA Vase Final the season before I arrived. The might Green and Whites.

Further to my previous post I am sorry to report that Richard Garcia has had a further operation on his cruciate ligament and will now be out for between 6 and 9 months. This means that having not signed a new contract he was offered in february he will be in limbo for almost all of next season without pay. Hull City, to their credit, have said that they will 'look after' Richard during his rehabilitation but this could mean the end of Richards career.

so we open the new season with a visit from Blackpool and travel to West Ham on the final day

hope springs eternal !!

C'MON!!!!

Home to Blackpool would be a draw at best for me. This is followed by a visit to Eland Road where we face long time rivals Leeds then another away match at Ipswich. I can see no points from those two games before we play Crystal Palace at home where we should surely get the three points. We should pick up points against Peterborough and Pompey but loos like another slow start for me.

Adebola not confirmed - agree he's not an inspiring option

looks like we are going to miss out on Danns and Hobbs

hhhmmm

hhm

in mixed news ....

Adebola has signed

Hobbs has also

Danns has gone elsewhere

another "experienced" player in Paul McKenna - like Adebola he's ex-Forest

i just hope the term "experienced" isn't being used in the Hendrix sense

We seem to be going back to the "Dad's Army" we attained some time ago.

Sky in OZ -I guess not here though (but would be a bonus, if so)

agree about giving the squad a chance to prove itself - the gruop of ex man u youngsters could develop into a solid core

pre-season fixtures

nb the exotic Bradford extravaganza is down to Dutch Police not being happy about the fixture v Feynoord over there

The Tigers will play the following fixtures in preparation for the 2011/12 season. Further fixtures may be added.

Tuesday 19th July - North Ferriby United (a) - KO 7.45pm - Pay at the gate* - �9 Adults, �5 Concessions

Wednesday 20th July - Winterton Rangers (a) - KO 7.45pm - Pay at the gate* - �6 Adults, �4 Concessions

Saturday 23rd July - Liverpool (h) - KO 3pm - Ticket Information

Wednesday 27th July - Bradford City (h) - KO 7.45pm

Saturday 30th July - Chesterfield (a) - KO 3pm - Pay at the turnstiles* - �14 Adults, �10 Concessions (65 and over, 14-18 year-olds), �5 Under 14s

well that wasn't a bad pre-season result

hope we haven't peaked to early

Goals here

New shirt looks nice too.

Brady doesn't look too rubbishy based on that goal and the 2nd involved some nice movement, 3rd = quick thinking

not a great start

Nah! We had seven chances which an 'above average' striker at this level would have put away. Nicky Barmby is not a striker but was so close on three occasions; Matty Fryatt should have put both his chances away whilst Simpson had a good chance which he blew wide and an absolute sitter which he put over the bar. They had their one chance and took it.

Great result v Ipsh*t. Matty Fryatt late goal sealed it. Makes up (sort of) for losing to Macclesfield Town in the cup. Looking like the trend from last season continues of winning away and losing at home.

yes, TM, if we could combine the home and away habits of the Tigers and the Phoenix both sides would be a lot closer to top of the league

Great win for us

Does anyone know the story on Jimmy Bullard?

Yes. Jimmy;s situation has been resolved but nobody is allowed to talk about it for a few days. Word has it that he is either joining Ipswich (hence the delay so he couldn't play against us yesterday) or QPR.
Good result yesterday and a great goal by Matty - having forecast a 4-0 loss to Ipswich I am now eating a large portion of humble pie.

We have just heard that ex-Hull City Goalkeeper, Tony Warner, has signed for the Phoenix.
Will look forward to fans opinions when the season starts.

And Jimmy Bullards contract has been terminated thankfully.

yep NZSeb and hopefully so it ends

it could have been very different for the club if he hadn't been either crocked and/or unlucky

he is a decent footballer with dodgy knees and a head that seems to put a smile on people's faces one day and not long after see him let the drink make a fool of him

shame we didn't see more of him on the pitch

from a tigers website

>>

Jimmy Bullard has been given his notice by Hull City. Chief Executive Mark Maguire made the announcement on the club�s official website, also saying that Bullard has the right to appeal.

After signing from Fulham in January 2009 for a transfer fee of around �5million and on wages reported to be upwards of �45,000 per week, the midfielder made 18 starts and 5 substitute appearances in the league, scoring 6 goals. His final appearance was in the FA Cup defeat to Wigan in January of this year, prior to his loan move to Ipswich. <<

hhhmmmm

Bullard has signed a two year deal with Ipswich.

oh well ...a lot of money (in our terms) , a lot of skill, a few laughs and nowhere near enough impact on the pitch (mainly due to injuries, at the start; and management/player problems in the N.Pearson era)

At last a home win!

Young Brady - good lad.

a long way to go but quite a nice feeling

curse of the new manager didn't quite get us - got a point away a Doncaster

still in play-offs place (just)

winning at home! I could get used to this idea!

and drawing away

7th place - game in hand

Koren injury time winner v watford

tonight might get a bit nauseating via an Auckland sports venue but at least the Tigers are still on track

and the Nix might blag a point or 3

back in the top 6, courtesy of a 1-0 win at forest!!!

I sent my nearly 1 year old to creche in his Hull City kit today and it turns out it's individual photo day. My Dad will be stoked, can't say the same for my wife.Toffeeman2011-11-01 10:18:22

2 losses in a row and now Pearson looks to be heading back to Leicester - !! aargh i feel a period f pessimism is looming!
