Smallears cannot sit in the corner because Agar is already there and has a restraining order setup against Smallears

I don't get what your problem is? Jake said 'should be'

Given the fact that we are at nearly full strength, do you think Agar and the players will be going into the game having or not having confidence?

Then I may have mistaken your intent, for which I apologise. The way it was worded seemed like you were saying that we should be confident [inow[/i rather than in theory and ignoring our actual performances under Agar.

You see, you're letting your pre conceptions get in the way of reality. Anyway, apology accepted

They should be confident of going out and winning against any team in the league, if they aren't then maybe we have the root of the problem, they shouldn't be playng a professional sport.

Looking at teams on paper it's very even. Looking at form it's very even.

Don't think either side should be confident.

One thing most of us should have learned about Derbies...............

Predicting the result is near impossible and form is totally meaningless, tossing a coin could give you a better chance.

Given the rumours of him buggering off to France, its probably only the fact rovers rather than Mason have his passport that have forced him to put the half d performances he has to date.

Disagree, both sides should be confident and I'm sure are. The fans on the other hand are a different matter

I think it's mainly that I can't remember the last time I went into a match confident of winning.

Edited for accuracy

STUNT

Indeed you are

Had a re-think, [iold chestnut[/i is a better way of describing it.

You've started thinking now?

i have an explosive collar round my neck that explodes within 25 metres

Please run at him, or Dobbo at kick off

I see your point but it does not matter in a Hull derby if they are 12th or 1st and vice versa,the form book just goes out the window as it always has done.

I'm not sure that form does go out of the window for a derby. I've seen dozens and can remember very few where there has been any real surprise. One I do vividly remember though was my first derby in 1978 in the CC where rovers were strong favourites and Hull won it with a late try

Happy days

Think my last home game was the win against Crusaders last season. I haven't missed a home game at Easter in years mind.

I'm living proof that boycotts don't work.

No, but it's saved you a stack of cash

I to was at the game you mentioned.I think we had just signed Knocker from Cas and we went on a late run but it was to late and we got relegated.Think we won the game 9-7 if my failing memory serves me right.

Can only remember that we scored when most people were on the way out thinking we'd lost and that I couldn't believe that my new rugby hero was bald! Was stood on a milk crate in the well at the time

Sunday 26th February 1978! I thnk we won 7 or 8 of our last ten games but still got relegated, this was the game that started that run which earned Arthur Bunting a 3 year deal!

Kosh's last live game?
