Feel for those Hull fans today, we were in that end v Villa when it was hot and it was unbearable at times, the winning made it all worthwhile but s few fans were hit by sunstroke ☀️☀️☀️☀️
If Hull lose they are going to go to court,as they feel Middlesbrough who lost their semi,shouldn't be there,and they Hull should have gone straight up after Southampton were thrown out.

They are just trying to back both horses
Will be interesting and a lot of crying/cheering if Boro go thru. I suppose Hull could have had a case that they should have been granted promotion once their scheduled opponent was nixed?

That isn't the precedent though . EFL kicked out Swindon from the Vertu trophy and Luton were reinstated
Honestly feel like neither of these clubs will threaten the pl next season
The Wembley pitch looks great but always seems to play so slow.
Hull are right to be aggrieved they didn't know who they would face, but their stance has been disappointing and can't think their take would stand up in court.
::scarf:: looks like it could be a penalty shoot-out...
Both sides have produced nothing to date... ::angry::

Not without a lot of recruitment. The space in midfield and the number of poor first time touches suggests they would both be vulnerable. If anything, Middlesborough look slightly more cultured and comfortable on the ball - Matt Targett is playing well as is their Centre Half - but Hull have a few big hitters in their forward line who could capitalise on any defensive mistakes.
I will never forget being in the White Wall in the closing minutes. ::scarf::
When Luke Ayling looks like Frank Beckenbaur, it's fair to question the quality on display. Turn the clock back to Fulham v Villa in the play off final and either team would likely steamroller what's on offer today.

I recall a few on here saying the same about Sunderland.
Whoever wins will have money to spend.

But did Sunderland win the play offs with potentially 1 shot on target? There's only been 1 shot on target between these two.
1-0 Hull....
Hull have just scored but they will be cannon fodder next year
Nice long away trip up there next season....
Carriage for Hackney please TK

That's got nothing to do with next season in the Premier.
Lot of nerves today.
Hull will be easy pickings next season....
16 extra mins now played.
Are they wanting Boro to score.
I thought that they were going to play until nightfall and an equaliser in the dark....
Glad Hull won. Thats one relegation spot decided for next season ::thumb::
Correct results in the end but Hull will need to spend big
Best outcome in the end I guess but it was a dire playoff final lacking in quality.
Justice prevailed
Well done Hull.
100% record of winning play offs still intact.

Not really, unless they plan on replacing the entire starting 11 and nine subs
One never knows who they'll get in transfer wise,I don't judge a team on today's game lot of nerves involved.
As I said earlier few on here thought Sunderland would go back down.
Funny old game Saint.
Will Marco get a trip back to the KC next season?

When I stepped out onto the area where we were to sit, what a moment. I wore my Jezzard 9 and it was good to hear the comments from older fans like us Sir. Yes what a day. ::thumb:: ::scarf::
Best result for football, avoiding the inevitable legal case from Hull & the ridiculous situation of a losing playoff team getting promoted.
Best result for mid-table PL teams, as Hull look like cannon fodder in waiting.
Best result for us, if Tony jumps straight on the Hayden Hackney carriage.

Marvelous 😉
And that's the difference that a proper striker can make! Championship or not, Mcburnie is better than anyone in our squad at putting the ball in the net.

Beddy Jezzard - I cried when his injury forced him to retire. I have a memory of him running at full pelt and taking a long pass on his heel, flicking it over his head and getting a shot away. A real centre forward (striker, to you youngsters).
Congrats to Hull. Will be interesting to see who they sell/buy for next season as they are cashed up. Pre judging them to fail in the PL is strange & unwise. I imagine if they were to watch our last 4-5 matches they would not be too fussed about playing us. In fact, they would prob look fwd to it.

It wouldn't have happened anyway. There have been hundreds and hundreds of contentious issues over the course of the history of football.
Germany and the Scots would like nothing better than to see our 1966 World Cup triumph chalked off and given to the Germans because of Sir Geoff's 'was it fully over the line' goal when he made it 3-2.
Maradona 'Hand of God' v England?? The match should have been replayed.
Henry's handball goal v Ireland?? The same.
Where do you stop?
Middlesbrough had every right to be in the final. The beautiful game is full of 'what if's, but's and maybe's.'
I forgot Lampard's goal v Germany that was never given when the ball was miles over the line.
The worst thing about Hull (or was when they were last in the Prem) is lots of old men, most teeth missing, chanting "You're being mauled by the tigers".
Gives me a warm glow thinking Spurs or West Ham will be replaced by Hull, I'm sure that'll go down well with their fans.

It's honestly a great song that very rarely gets sung because it's not often hull are 3 or 4 goals up.
Sat with my dad (hull city fan) during our big loss at the KC having it sung was a terrible moment in my time. :(
P.S. to another poster mentioning a trip to the KC, it's no longer the KC stadium and now the MKM stadium.
Bolton v Stockport is quite entertaining

As you know Little Ern, Beddy's career ending injury was on some FA overseas summer tour and he won his two England caps as a second division player. A genuine club legend. Both the end of his playing career and his managerial status were not appropriate in their arrival.
