Apparently the owner of Hull will "Quite literally just walk away". Which would be interesting. And also throw up quite a few questions.

That interview on SSN (assume it's that which you are referring to) was absolutely mental.

I know R Lerner is receiving a lot of stick and some quite unnecessary abuse of late, but it could be a whole lot worse !!  Imagine having this guy or Mr Tan as our chairman

unless things change (which I doubt) then I will not be renewing - the value for money in the last 4 years is shocking.

Can't argue with the second part of that statement.

I heard the Interview and about the only thing i agreed were the positive comments about our home support, great attendances week after week considering some of the dross being served up, i'm amazed we're still getting very healthy crowds.  Well done us !

If you speak with fellow ST holders, if this current scenario continues, then you'll see a massive drop-off in ST sales next season; ST's are awful value for money for what you're subjected to watch, especially in the last 4 years. Sorry, but I've got zero confidence in Lerner and Faulkner running this club.

5 point cushion or not, unless our form changes dramatically we will absolutely be in a relegation scrap.

If our form carries on how it has done so far this season we will finish... 11th.

FFS.  I said form, not points over half a season.

Or are you suggesting we are playing well, with all that possession we are retaining and all?

We must be lucky to be in 11th then.  The table doesn't lie.

Am I right in thinking that strictly speaking form means results as opposed to performances although people commonly refer to performances as form also?

Yeah you said form.

We can have form over two games, won one and lost one or we can have form over 21 games. And we're 11th.

Any questions?

A fair measure of form is the last 6 games, as per the form guide here. 

http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/form-guide.html?tableView=total

4 points in 6 games is very much relegation battle form.  Add to that our desperately poor standard of play over the last few games and it is a depressing picture. 

My statement was, if we carry on with our current form we will be in a relegation battle.  I think you are trying to be a clever dick and argue for the sake of it.  However, a serious question - do you think we have been playing well lately? 

And if we carry on how we are playing do you think we will get many good results?

Or do you think if we carry on playing like we have for the last 6 games we may get dragged into a relegation battle?

By your theory had we carried on with our form from our first six games we would be top 8 by now?

And yes we have been playing well lately, the latest 15 minutes of our latest game was pretty good.
