Could have had a point yesterday. Damn Torres.

We need a striker so much, Daryl Murphy carries as much threat as a toothless lion.


I'm getting tired of Keane's loyalty to Murph, I'd love to see Chops get a run up front. Despite his critics, he's the best finisher we've got, and could be banging them in with the support from our much improved midfield.

After the opening day games it looks like there are a few great signings for the clubs expected at the bottom. Zaki for Wigan was impressive against us (West Ham), scored a brilliant goal and was very creative. Behrami was ok and Faubert may as well be counted as a new sgning and he had a decent game. Geovanni never really got a run of games at Man City but loooks class from what I've seen of him and Boeting is a great player, they will be key to Hull. I've always been a Dave Kitson fan and I reckon he could get Stoke quite a few points this season and I bet he scores more than Bolton's Elmander who cost twice as much.

In Kirkby? The posts are part of what makes it so good :lol: .

I've only been about 3 times in the last year and each time I've been behind the same post in the Upper Bullins.



Kirkby? Good God no, I'm delighted that fell through. It would've been like surrendering the city to 'them'.

But the fact is the old girl has seen better days, and not everyone shares your appreciation of the obstructed views!

We really need billionaire knight in shining armour. :(
