Why didn't Lerner invest in Scott Dann & Lescott in January? An outlay of say £10M would've been worth it with over £60M TV money at stake...

Because they're twats.

Our last home game we did scrape a draw against a Southampton team that the next week mullered Everton, all is not lost, we can 0-0 Hull, put  a back 5 out again.

If we accept Sunderland will now finish above us, Norwich and Cardiff are cattle-trucked so the only (admittedly unlikely) permutation to really fear is Fulham getting six points then a point v Hull won't be enough. My brain hurts.
How can we beat man c and Chelsea at villa park but be so generally useless that fans can't imagine us beating Hull? Let's fill the ground, get the noise levels up and for once let the visitors know we are up for a fight. We need high energy and plenty of tackles and above all, do the bloody basics right.

We don't do that though. We needed to do it against Southampton, be we started at a very pedestrian pace and it didn't really change the whole match. There is no urgency and desire.

If a couple of strong tackles had gone in early, a couple of runs and shots then the whole atmosphere would have been different. This is what the players need to do on Saturday to show the 35000+ who will turn up  that they are actually bothered by the situation they have got themselves in...

You're right. It's amazing that so many (me included) have written off the last four matches. Common sense, stats etc all dictate we ought to get something. Hull fucking City at VP should definitely be a game we'd be looking to win. However, I fully expect our little flowers to wilt before the very support that should spur them on.

Someone said the same before Swansea. And as my seven month old was in hospital yesterday, my son's puked up and I've just had the dog put down, I'm entitled to be a miserable bastard.

Correct. Naïve, clueless, dice-rolling, ignorant twats.

On Saturday we need to put some hard but fair crunching tackles in early on and get the Hull players worried about getting injured or getting a red.Human nature being what it is, some if not all Hull players are bound to have one eye on the F A Cup final

So you keep telling us. You might feel a bit more positive if you didn't repeatedly post negativity on every single thread.

So how much have you put on us to get relegated?
