trying ever so hard for that bite mrs b keep going

I'd say just giving as much as she gets only she does it beter . Ive only been on this forum less than a year but its safe to say Mrs B has owed a fair few of your lot

No one's playing out, on "derby day", for goodness' sake. Easier to have in-community "jokes" about FC not signing Lopini Paea (you know you were linked with him [uway[/u before us, right?) and self-congratulatory Beavis and Butthead style sing about it, I guess. My predictions for the day? Rovers win and Easty, His Bobness and General Zod will emerge making posts that start with "Deluded Hull fans need to accept..", "The harsh reality is..." and "Ten reasons why Cory Paterson will win Man of Steel:"

Some Rovers fans sometimes say things that are absurdly optimistic, biased or hypocritical. Our press tends to accentuate the positive. Now pull on your jump suit, don your head phones and fire up your helicopter, it is time for Challenge Barista! Younger readers this is a riff on early 90s series Challenge Anneka - don't worry about missing the joke, it isn't funny anyway.
Would you deny that the same is true of Hull FC fans and the club's press? Would you even claim that it is less pronounced? Love a rhetorical trap, me.

Hopes for today's game - get up to speed, avoid injuries, avoid a confidence sapping stuffing, in roughly that order.
Obviously I'm not going, laziest fan. Getting a couple of t-shirts and a jacket from the online shop will be my contribution today.

Still spouting out after 2 full days.


Yawn..........

i think us been linked with lopina paea was nothing more than mickey plays for us so lopini must be coming aswell i think we benefitted from your chairman not knowing much about the game and spouting unrealistic goals that we have gladly jumped on

I actually had a couple of jumpsuits that I wore as a fashion statement in the 80s. The statement read: "Your arrse looke enormous, and they're really impractical for toileting purposes". Avoiding injuries, obviously, is the main aim. Our round 1 is away at the current champions where we never ever win unless Jason Smith or Nathan Blacklock plays, so confidence will be shattered then anyway. Not like we're at home in Easty's "fortress" against a team that's lost their fabuloso coach, you have the advantage to build that confidence in linear fashion therefore.

Are you seriously buying a crimson puffa jacket? Have some self-respect. Do scientists ever look in the mirror, or even brush their hair?

Classy. Thanks for reading.

Someones trying hard this morning!

Hard yards, isn't it, cockle? In Morgan's era there was such confidence and joie de vivre on derby day, well-founded too, that it was fun. Rovers current board all in attendance today? Maybe a special guest or two?

Let's hope a certain someone is a "special guest" today. It's probable that he can't drum up the coin for the entrance fee on his own!

Who u on about

Good side step.

I don't wear sandals - in science that makes me some kind of Fonz-esque superdude.

No Rufus at today's game...let the conspiracy theories begin!

I cant see Rovers paying for another free day for said person,think he has had quite enough just my opinion mind !

When i first started to read this thread I thought it said who is going tomorrow, not more we hate hull,and we don't like rovers stuff then again silly me roll on the season start

Well, my prediction was right as per usual. Awaiting the GWT and I can shout "house!"

Hull were awful. Rovers were faultless first half. Congratulations.

A [islight[/i exaggeration, but there or there abouts...

1 out of 3, come on chaps.

We hammered you last year and it got us nowhere during the regular season. I'll do my crowing in September if the season pans out well.

Keep it in the rookery, a'int gonna happen.

With your bannd fireworks no doubt

Did anyone get thrown out today?

Was you there dummy?

Is there an echo on all threads?
Thats all he's posting. Did his team get beat today?
