Justt woke up with my stomach a bit knotted, with a few butterflies flapping about.

Surely we can't pull this one off, can we?

My head keeps telling me [ino[/i.

But we've been here before, haven't we, been here before and done it with the odds stacked against us?

Yes, but not without either first choice halfback, a disinterested winger and a weak pack.



COYH, but I am not that optimistic!

Thanks for the early morning reality check.

Forecast is for rain all day on sunday. Not sure if that would benefit us or not

Don't think it would be against us, but , I was gonna wear some shorts and flip-flops.

I woke up with an erection

Congratulations.



I can only manage a semi these days.

Oh well better than nowt

I'm getting more and more excited. Nothing is beyond Hull, we can match any team on the day. We've pulled stranger things off.

Well, the squad are a bunch of winkers so should be good at pulling things off!

Reading Mark O'Meley piece in the Wail today it is clear how much the players want this. It was clear after that fantastic effort in France and their apparent indifference to the league. I think we can do it. no one gave us a prayer against saints in 2005, similar situation here, nothing to lose. a few players last hussar for Hull. Am quietly confident.

It has to be a siege mentality - players and supporters alike.
