I think they'll get fewer points than we did last season.

The owners have scrapped season tickets and introduced a membership scheme with no concessions whatsoever, so kids and senior citizens all pay the same. I know of at least five who have supported Hull for decades who will never set foot in the ground until Allam has gone.

Yes, Chinese buyers too apparently.  It'll be interesting to see what their value is, and the premium added for being a PL club (even for only one season).

They are but from what I can gather they've been trying to sell for quite a while in a Lerner style way. They do seem to be going out of their way to alienate as much of their support as possible whilst they can.

While I don't like the owners it will be a shame if they leave as they'll be stuck with that boring as fuck "City" on the end of their name instead of the much better "Tigers".

But not for long, Leicester penalty 1-1.

2-1 Hull. I thought the first Hull goal came from corner that should've been a Leicester free-kick as a Hull bloke handled the ball out. The equaliser penalty was nonsense though.

Leicester are us - unexpectedly winning the league with relatively few players, losing to a newly promoted team in the first game defending it.  I'm going to put a fiver on them to win the Chumps League!

Newcastle, who we were reliably informed will canter to the title and who were highly unlikely to lose a game in doing so, lost again. That's a pity.
