If one thing annoys me, it's stupidity.
First of all, the Brummie in the pub who sidled up to Miss Jaffa Cake and – clocking her City shirt – earnestly asked her if there was a chance Dean Windass might feature this afternoon. There indeed was, although it would be for Darlington seeing as that's where he's player/assistant manager these days.
Secondly, Stupid Boy who sits behind us – he's been there for years asking his silly questions and making his inane statements. An example – he was once critical of Boaz Myhill because he never scores, surely such a tall chap as he could at least get on the end of a couple of headers and get a goal or two?
For those unfamiliar with the Hull City squad, Boaz Myhill is a goalkeeper.
Anyway, he joined in with the 'Brown Out' chants today with much gusto (Stupid Boy that is, not Myhill who didn't reveal his position on our managerial situation), adopting the gruff voice he does when chanting to try to mask the fact he's eleven and his balls haven't dropped yet, before declaring to his equally clueless dad we ought to get Phil Parkinson in as manager instead. Phil Parkinson. Phil bloody Parkinson. Honestly.
On that note, negativity annoys me when there's a match on. I know people aren't happy and all that, but I'm of the opinion that during those 90 minutes players need our support and encouragement. Performances and individuals should be accountable and should be questioned, but when we're fighting for points I don't think it's the time and place to get on the player's backs, do that after the final whistle.
Finally, a word of caution to any gurning idiots – don't ask me if I'm 'going to keep going when City get relegated' as one twunt did at the bus stop on Friday upon spotting the City badge on my bag, because questions of such high stupidity are liable to elicit the same response that Adebayor produced when confronted with a sliding Van Persie. Bloody buffoons.
Anyway, I'm annoyed because we were bloody awful today, the poorer out of two very poor sides. The only players in my mind to come out of the match with any credit were Myhill (who, despite not getting on the scoresheet kept us in it with some excellent goalkeeping), Kamil Ghilas (who looked lively when he came on in the second half) and Stephen Hunt (who was his usual hardworking self, albeit with little end product).
Our league fixtures for October read thus (I'm not counting the hiding we're liable to receive at Liverpool next week if we play as we did today) – Wigan Athletic (H), Fulham (A), Portsmouth (H) and Burnley (A). Following those four games I think we'll have a good indication of exactly where we're at, and at that point there may be cause to take a long hard look at the manager's position if things haven't improved. Please note though that if we do find ourselves looking for a new gaffer, Phil Parkinson seems to be perfectly happy at Charlton Athletic so let's leave him to it.
Phil bloody Parkinson.
Anyway, I've had better afternoons.
