		<description>I have been a &#039;&#039;TIGERS&#039; supporter for 40 long years, i&#039;ve been though the good times and the bad times with them, but i&#039;ve always &#039;&#039;DARED TO DREAM&#039; and stayed with the club, i remember &#039;&#039;THE GREAT ESCAPE&#039;&#039; season, nearly going out of business because of the worst chaiman the club has had,  But the best  era  for me has to be the the days of &#039;&#039;WAGGY, CHILO, BUTLER,  HOUGHTON&#039;, McKECHNIE, WILKINSON, BANKS, SIMPKIN, PETIT, NEIL, GREENWOOD, JARVIS, DEVRIES,BANNISTER, WARBOYS, BREMNER, PEARSON, EDWARDS,  WHITEHURST ,PAYTON, WINDASS, i&#039;me sure i&#039;ve missed of players out of the list. But (i can say this with a smile on my face) the best times i&#039;ve had as a supporter is the back to back promotions. The finest day ( up to now) is&#039; &#039;WEMBLEY. As for the team we have got at the this season is it asking too much, can we challange for &#039;&#039;TOP  EIGHT&#039;&#039;    KEEP FAITH.</description>

		<description>Take it easy, man.  It&#039;s just an opinion, no better or worse than anyone else&#039;s.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Enjoy your run...it may last all season and for many seasons to come for all I know.  Or it may have already ended.  The truth is, no-one knows.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Believe me, my comments are not bitterness.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My feeling is that there is a terrible gravity in the premiership that drags down teams that don&#039;t &quot;belong&quot; in the top.  Many teams have a flirtation with the upper reaches, but the gravity seems to be inevitable.  Even when smaller teams deny gravity for a reasonable amount of time - Reading and Bolton being examples - gravity still seems to win in the end.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I wish it weren&#039;t so, but experience tells me it is.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The next three games will show Hull&#039;s metal - Portsmouth and Stoke away, Boro at home.  If Hull are to maintain a top-half position, I&#039;d say 4 points are required.  Two points or less would indicate (to me) that Hull will drift into the bottom-half.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Would you agree, Tom?</description>

		<description>Haha, No I&#039;m not a Derby County fan but I agree with your assesment. Brown obviously knows the boy needs a bit of polish to bring him up to scratch but he&#039;s still learning and still young. I hope he makes a full recovery.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for the comments.</description>

		<description>Are you a Derby Fan?  He wasn&#039;t  too great at Pride Park.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Back end of last and definetley beginnging of this season, he has showed some fantastic signs of fulfilling his undoubted potential.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This kid has all the hallmarks of a rough diamond.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It really does seem like Phil Brown has taken this kid and shook him up a bit. He&#039;s a daft kid with alot to learn but it looks like he could be on the right track.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Its a shame the injury came when it did as he looked the sharpest and eager city player on the park....and I just hope that he can fit back in where he left.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;With a bit of grit and determination, I can&#039;t see a problem with this. It&#039;s a fantastic thing for Hull City, that he&#039;s back in training.</description>

		<description>Opinions are opinions, but yours is very annoying as it took you an age to mention all the teams we had beaten, never mind making excuses and reasons for it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So how could we have got our praise from your grad old self then Mr McThomas? It seems it would have been impossible as we have done what has been asked of us by winning these games, even if the opposition were slightly handicapped on occasions. Its almost like.....what mor do you want from us?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We have the wins, and will keep winning this season when our backs are to the wall im sure as our pride, ballsy displays for a fresh premier league club and our general football week attitude really is something to be admired this season. Not many premiership managers would shoot us down if any! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Which leaves me to believe you may be bitter as I see no comments from the proffesional minds on the subject of how they predict us to fall into mediocrocy due to our extreme luck this season.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Which leaves to believe you could be bitter, as we are enjoying ourselves....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You clearly havent seen us play this season have you!? Full 90 mins? Every week? or even nearly that much? You just seen us on Match of The day? Only you know that mate? But it affects your rights on having a valid opinion!;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Remember this wont you, when we have been the success story of the premiership at the end of the season, never mind the one currently.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And if you think I&#039;m getting carried away Its because I&#039;m enjoying myself  and for me, the glass is half full! But I wouldnt expect the same optimism for a bitter opposition fan!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Where are these cracks by the way? If you have seen the games as I aforementioned, the only crack you could criticise was the first half against Bolton!!! You really havent been able to back up any of your beliefs with any facts or precise judgement.....your argument.......is terrible.</description>
