I thought about the title who would be a Hull City Fan, but in
some ways I think this blog isn't as much about Hull City but about Football
Fans in general.
I mean we've all been there as fans
standing/sitting, screaming ourselves hoarse, or nervously biting our nails
when watching our team play. From years of watching Hull City play I've
seen us go from depths of despair to delight all nervously watching from the
stands. I've seen us be relegated and I've seen us be promoted and I've
seen us go to Wembley. Its the hardest thing to do I think to sit and
watch something you invest your money and time in, to sit there and be able to
do nothing about what is unfolding in front of you.
So it’s just gone 7pm here in Israel and
the Premier League season is over, Hull City are relegated back to the
Championship after two seasons in the Premier League which saw them reach the
FA Cup Final and Europe for the first time ever. It has been two years of
highs and today the ultimate low. Will City be back in the Premier
League, my heart says yes, but my head wonders if we can bounce back, some of
the team’s performances this season have been decidedly average and indeed the
games we should have won we failed to do so. Games that we were in a
winning position we failed to hold the lead and either lost or drew and in my
eyes it’s not good enough.
Who is to blame, is it the players, the
manager or both, honestly I had faith in Steve Bruce and I was impressed with
the signings we had made before this season had even kicked off, but now I look
at the money we have spent since coming to the Premier League and the return
for the money spent is sadly lacking. I'm not sure any of the players can
really pat themselves on their back and say we played well all season, it
wasn't our fault. Still while reality is setting in, the inquest can
begin and from the ashes of this disappointing end to the season, hopefully
Hull City will start the next season afresh and reborn with the fans behind
them.
For me here in Israel, it doesn't matter
how far away I am, I am a Hull City supporter no matter what league they are
in. City till I die.
