Even SE is starting to waiver on the conspiracy theories now.  I wonder when Leicester started to be taken seriously?  Probably when they did that 4-2 at the Emptyhad?

This is like the people who are furious that TalkSport, a machine deliberately created to make stupid people angry is making stupid people angry about things.

Good football coverage exists. Don't get angry because you're choosing to read shit football coverage. It's like getting your pitchfork and torch out because the political analysis of The Daily Star isn't nuanced enough.

Amazing weeks results. Arsenal weren’t 100% comfortable in there game and will have more difficult games than Bournemouth.

Last week it looked like Man City were  approaching their best form and I thought they were the most likely champions. Their last 2 results suggest they’re some way off that.

Other teams drawing and taking points off each other is perfect for us if we can keep winning.

Hull version

Quote
Hull City’s Sky Bet Championship match against Watford was postponed due to player safety concerns.

While the pitch was playable and had been passed by the referee, areas immediately surrounding the playing surface were deemed unsafe and the decision to postpone the game was agreed by all parties.

Watford version

Quote
We hope all our inconvenienced fans made it home safely from Hull.

We reiterate we were ready and willing to play after the pitch was passed fit by the referee.

We remain disappointed by the decision to postpone, and by how the decision was reached.

We did not agree to the postponement.

Honestly I wouldn’t worry about us not getting much mention. A lot of it is based on what will drive viewership or listenership. We are covered in the right places and if we keep it up it’ll be unavoidable anywhere soon enough.

I didn't say you were stupid (your posts over the years suggest very much the opposite).

Just that if places are writing stuff that you know is bad, just stop reading it. I can't remember the last time I read something in the press about us that made me angry (other than stuff linked on here), because stuff about us is a pretty good gauge of whether anything they write is worth bothering with, so you just stop if you can see that they are writing shit.

I would however still stand by the fact that anyone getting angry about TalkSport coverage of us is stupid.

I would prefer us to be forgotten about. The last time the media were all at us, we ended up losing.

This is fair. It's clearly a thing, therefore people have the right to feel frustrated by it, just as people have the right to disregard it. Like you I see it and call it, but it doesn't make me angry.
