Hull for Europe? I've Done the Maths and It's Basically Certain

Mark my words. Everyone’s writing Hull off because we’ve “just come up” and “have the smallest budget in the league” and “statistically speaking will be relegated”. Typical media negativity.

Here’s what the so-called experts miss. Last season we won 24 games. This season the Premier League has 38 games, which is MORE games, which means MORE chances to win. That’s not opinion, that’s arithmetic.

The Tigers are coming, and the big boys know it. You think Pep enjoys the trip to the MKM? You don’t get atmospheres like that anywhere. Not Barcelona. Not the Bernabéu. I’ve not been to either, but I stand by it.

Sixth place. Possibly fifth. Mark my words twice.
