The Premier League Thread!

I seem to remember someone saying something very similar before playing Leeds, and a fat lot of good that did... 🙄

Yeah, but you can't win em all Jaffa. 😉 I fear no one. 😀

That was particularly devastating, as it was dirty Leeds.

The Cheslea-Wigan game looks to be a real snooze-fest. the blues need to win if they are going to keep any sort of pressure on United.

That's how the Chavs roll, boring but successful.

//EDIT: I spoke too soon. Congrats to Heskey!

 

[Lord Blackadder]

You'd have to think that Chelski's title hopes are done and dusted now...

Undone by Heskey at the death...Capello had him in his first squad, I think, but he was injured, right? I wonder if he'll ever pull on an England shirt again...

 

[Brianstorm91]

Well done on the title Manure, not that you deserve it, but we obviously don't want it enough.
That was quite evident from our FA cup performance, also.
Here's to hoping for the CL, although I reckon the wheels will start to come off now.

 

[Markleshark]

Been and got my ticket for Millwall this morning, should be ace.

£40 for ticket and coach. Don't mind if I do.

In addition to his usual headgear, Petr Cech is now wearing a chinstrap to protect the 50 stitches in his face...

It is now only a matter of time before he reaches his final look:

We believe... 😱



We were handed out priority forms for tickets for the potential play-off semi-finals on Saturday. Miss Jaffa Cake and I will be popping ours in the post in the morning.

Wowzers. I'm crapping myself Jaffa. 3 points a head of Donny with 3 games left. Also, as I've reserved my season ticket for next year (With Frozen Prices, hurrah) I get my priority for any Play-Off games we might need. Hopefully we'll leave that drama this season, been there done that. A chance at going to Wem-ber-ly would be ace, but it's just not worth the hassle.

Good luck to Hull tonight. 🙂

Good luck to Hull tonight. 🙂

Thanks. Scarily, if we win tonight and West Brom lose, we'll go top. Cripes... 😱

Watch the nose bleed there. I can see Hull getting promoted automatically, you've hit form at exactly the right time.

You know, I had a good point pointed out to me today. Carlisle can still in theory get more points than Swansea, and if Leeds get their 15 points back Swansea might not get promoted after all. That would be funny.

Not gonna happen, but funny. It'd make us League Champions as well. 😉

Hopefully, we will help to make your dream come true. 😀

I'm not very confident though, they have had the upper hand over the last few years 😱

 

[Markleshark]

Lot of people tipping Wolves for the Play-Off final win though. At least in these parts, anyway.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

It's not quite amber, but old gold isn't too far off the sacred hue. You can't go far wrong wearing it. 😉

We've got to qualify for the play-offs first. 😱

When we play the team in the Tesco bags, we always seem to bottle it. 🙁

 

[Markleshark]

I told you he was a bit that way, Jaffa. Big Kev Gray will kill him. 😉

Ace though, I've just found that.

 

[R.Youden]

2-0 to the Hull City. Come on you Tigers!

E I E O E I E O

Up the football league we go.....

 

[Jaffa Cake]

We're ace. I mean, proper ace. 🙂

 

[Queso]

Hereford drew against Franchise this evening, which puts them 1 point ahead of us with better goal difference. Even worse, Franchise will now be going all out on Saturday against us, although saying that so will Peterborough who are playing Hereford 😀

Couldn't have asked for a better couple of weeks on the fixture front. It seems like the entire top 7 are playing each other at the mo.

Real brown trouser time though. Four games to go, at least a playoff place secured but within a whisker of automatic promotion 😱

 

[Brianstorm91]

If I read

ace

anywhere in this thread again, I may well explode.

 

[R.Youden]

3-1 What a game. Fan-bloody-tastic!

In all my years of watching Hull City - well its not that long really - first game in '93 when I was 10 😱 - this is the most amazing period ever. Two more wins and I think we will be up. Mind you Seff Utd and Ipswich away will be tough games and Palace at home maybe going for the play-offs.

Squeaky bum time!

EDIT: Also a quick mention to Aldershot, congratulations on returning to the football league for the first time in 16 years.

EDIT * 2: How good does this look:

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Thing is, years of watching Hull City made me think 'Oh no, they're going to score another two!" when Barnsley got their consolation. This was on the 90th minute, mind – see, even when we should be saving victory we expect defeat. A shocking state of affairs, that. 😱

 

[OllyW]

Sorry we couldn't give you top place 😱

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Sorry we couldn't give you top place 😱

Pah, don't worry about it. Getting promoted as champions is so 1960s – going up as runners-up is where it's at for all modern, forward thinking clubs.

We're not going to blow it we're not going to blow it we're not going to blow it... 😱

Anyone else watching the Scottish FA cup semi-final between Queen of the South and Aberdeen?

Apologies for the delay, I'm just back from holiday. Somethings seriously odd this year, Rangers have a chance at landing FOUR competitions, Hull City supporters are brimming with confidence and Queen of the South are in the Scottish Cup Final!

I've never been so interested in the exploits of Hull and Carlisle!
