Hull City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[pauliewalnuts]

A mediocre performance in a mediocre match, but we took a point.

That's just the way it happens sometimes.

There isn't really much point getting all worked up over it. I know I've had enough rests-of-the-weekend ruined by Villa in recent times to know an opportunity not to let it fuck up my Sunday when I see it.

As one wit behind us commented Kozak plays as though he is pulling a caravan and where does this gem about we were writing off Benteke this time last year come from?

That will be when a load of people couldn't speak Benteke's name without the word 'sitter' coming in the sentence.
It is a difficult job coming in as a striker, especially when the player you are replacing has been prolific.
Even Andy Lochhead struggled for some time when he first arrived.

The Benteke thread. Match threads. Post match threads. Surely you read them Brian?

Thanks to the H&V seller who came over to the fence to sell me a fanzine and it was great to meet Rob Bishop and have a chat. That's it basically. The replacement bus service at Selby should have served as a warning, the radio station they had on played Barry Blue, Alvin Stardust, Showaddywaddy and Boomtown Rats.

That was me! Assuming it was a big bloke with a shaved head who looks a lot like Brad Pitt.

Nice to meet you, I was the Johnny Depp lookalike! The ugly, lanky streak of piss with greying hair version!

Nice to meet you as well Chris. I mean Johnny!

I don't see how Hull are a mid table Championship side if they are sitting above us in the PL.

.... In terms of quality. If they are above us in the table after 38 games we will be in the Championship

Their only 2 defeats so far this season have been at Citeh and Chavski. A point there isn't a disgrace given their start.

Andy struggled? That is very close to blasphemy. Go and wash your typing finger with holy water.

I found about ten such posts very easily in the Benteke thread around the time of the spurs and baggies games last season. I bet there's plenty more on the match threads

Criticise fine. Write off after a handful of games ridiculous

Did anyone else think Huddlestone was bloody rubbish?

My fride is more mobile than Huddlestone.

Huddlestone the new pineapple head you mean? I thought his best effort was falling down and clutching his face when Westwood fouled him.

Just like some people count the stones in the Great Pyramid at Gizeh and deduce the date of the end of life on earth, you could trawl through the content of the posts on this forum and prove anything you like including the assertion that we wrote off Christian Benteke this time last year.   He scored on his debut (okay so did Kozak and so did Helenius) but by the time we played Swindon it was blindingly obvious that he was very special.

What I object to is the use of "we" in these threads when the poster means "I" or "some of us".

[olaftab]

If you came back from moon in February this year than you are forgiven for not knowing anything at all about criticism piled on Benteke both from people at the grounds and on forums. I remember the absolute horrible insults at Bradford in the semi  for one.

You mean when Westwood didn't foul him but tried to get him sent off by flying to the floor clutching his face?

[olaftab]

Yes that's the one...I was being generous  as usual!
