A few pics from my Wembley trip.

Although we lost the game yesterday (28-16) We did hit the front at one time, and considering we went in at half time 10-0 down, I think the lads gave their all. Saints it has to be said are a great team. In fact I've watched quite a bit of Aussie RL this season, and I would say Saints are a good shout for the best team in the world at the present time.
We haven't had a good season, for a number of reasons (I'll go into that a bit further come the end of the season, but a trip to Wembley (my first after supporting the FC for nearly 30 years...Its a long story lol) was well worth it!
Here's a few pics:

Everyone going for the loo's at the services on the way there. (You guessed it, our loo on the bus went down on us!)


First view of Wembley:


The FC end fills up:


The lads warm up in in a bonny circle! :)

Feeder - New single

My very favourite band, Feeder have a new single release, 'Tracing Lines' Smashing stuff :)

Wembley Time!

Saturday morning at 7am we'll be setting off From West Hull ARLFC for Wembley. I'm excited, nervous, and hoping everything will work out, (and my knees hold out!) We are really the underdogs here, no one expects us to win, But hey, that's when we perk up! I'm going to take loads of pics, and hope to post some on here.
COME ON YOU HULLA!!
One last thing, yes, if you read this blog from time to time you may know what is coming.....
That's right Five and 'Keep on Moving' !! :)

Pendulum!

It's been a bloody long time since I've seen a band that have quite literally blown my hat off, but last night Pendulum did! I was watching coverage of the Reading/Leeds festival and saw their set. Fantastic. Unfortunately you can't embed BBC video, but here's a taster of them live at the Radio One Big Weekend earlier this year. The energy is brilliant. My daughter had heard of them from when they started as a drum and bass outfit, but they've sort of evolved a bit... and how!
I love finding something new and fresh in music, (well it's new to me anyway) It blows the cobwebs out and makes me feel less old!
So here we have Pendulum - 'Intro + Slam'

Graduation Pic.

Here's my youngest daughter's official graduation pic. I think it's a pretty good one, but she hates it.
Because she's smiling! :)

A new season for the Mighty Whites....

and guess what? We've just been voted the most hated team in the country! You'd think with all our troubles folk would have a bit of sympathy for us, but no, and to be honest I could give a flying f*ck!
Let em get on with it, and we'll get on with winning League One!!
Here's a link to the article HERE ok, it's a load of old tripe, but worth reading for a great quote from 'The Office' actor Ralph Ineson: “I think the whole anti-Leeds thing stems originally from jealousy of the great 70s side of Don Revie. But more recently — when we haven’t been quite as dominant on the pitch — the jealousy stems from how devilishly attractive Leeds fans are.”
Top bloke!

MOT

State funeral for Mrs T.

I know this was muted about in the news about a week ago, but I was listening to George Galloway's radio show on Talksport last night and it was one of the topics of conversation.
I'll be honest and up front about this, I hate the old witch for what she did to the ordinary working man in this country, and I honestly think a lot of today's problems can be laid at the door of her government. In my view this would be a waste of money!
I read one comment on this and heard another on the show yesterday:
'Never mind a State Funeral, she should be burnt at the stake!' and:
'If she had a State funeral it will be the only one where the gun salute would be aimed at the coffin'
Both very un-politically correct I know, but covers the views of a lot of the people in my part of the world!!

What listening pleasure!

One of the first things you learn when you start supporting Hull FC is not to get cocky. Last Sunday we got to the final of the Challenge Cup. Tonight we lost at Wigan 66-6. I spent my evening listening to that tripe on the radio, and I could hear our fans singing 'Old Faithful' right through the game.
It's not bloody good enough lads, not bloody good enough!
