Another win for them today, puts them on level points with Chelsea and Liverpool and joint top of the premier league :shock:
The fairy tale goes on for Hull fans, it was only 3/4 years ago (i think) since we were playing them in League 1.
Great to see a newly promoted side doing so well, and makes Match of the day worth watching instead of the boring top 4 dominence.
I hope it continues, imagine them breaking into the top 4 come may :D

Must admit I'm delighted to see them doing so well. Even the most ardent Hull fan wouldn't imagine being ahead of Man Utd as they enter November!

Hope for us all. For a long time Hull was the largest settlement never to have had a top flight club. Must be so special for them all.[code][/code]

Having lived there for a short while as a kid, Hull has always been my favourite league club (except recently when they became my second favourite! :D ). It's great to see them doing so well. Only 9 games in and they've got half the number of points they probably set for safety.

Having seen them rise to the top flight in a similar way to how we go into the league, I do have a soft spot for them and it's fantastic to see them doing so well! Long may it continue, except when they play Liverpool!!! :lol:

back in '98 150 people attended a meeting in Hull to try to keep the football club from going under, as they were bottom of the League at that time, so it shows what can be achieved if people keep believing. Well done to Hull! and come on You Shrimps!!

Interesting to see the plights of Oxford, Port Vale, Bradford, Wimbledon, Bury - oh and mighty Leeds :?
