@Hull_Trains We came down on the 12:46 from Brough today and the train seemed to be very ‘bumpy’

⚠️ Due to a safety inspection of the track near Huntingdon, 19:04 #LondonKingsCross to #Beverley due 22:07 is being delayed between #Stevenage and #Peterborough and is now expected to be 31 minutes late. ℹ️ journeycheck.com/hulltrains/

They are not just 97 people. They are not just the 97. They are mates, dads and lads, couples, parents, sons and daughters. They are people, loved and cherished. Every one of the 97 people who died at Hillsborough has a story. Never Forgotten.

@sidscafepeck @Sanny_Rudra £45k p w

@Sanny_Rudra Acun shouldn’t have come out publicly but his point is right. Lunnys on big money and all he’s bothered about is the reaction from the blades. He’d have a bit more credit in the bank if he justified his wage

After John Lundstram’s red card yesterday for Hull at Sheffield United, he put out an insta story. Hull’s owner is not too impressed…

@_RP_77 @spiritofshankly There’s no doubt and they are clearly wealthy but ST’s not attending price out fervent fans and push prices up on the exchanges. This is a worse problem than the price increases. Your council tax will have gone up by 4.9%, which is surely a Niger increase for less satisfaction?

@MikeThompsonMKT @spiritofshankly I dunno what the stats are for non-uk STs at Anfield, but it’s said that only 20% of them are registered to Liverpool postcodes, compared with about 80% of Everton’s. 7% of United’s are registered abroad, so imagine Liverpool is roughly the same, mostly Ireland & Scandi obvs.

Lower Main Stand 10 mins before the game ✊

@_RP_77 @spiritofshankly Not bothered about UTD. Fans can’t get access to games due to plenty of people like this. Why dis so many ST’s make their tickets available yesterday on the day of the game? Because they couldn’t make any money on the exhanges!! That’s why. They need to be gone before the debate

@MikeThompsonMKT @spiritofshankly 7 (seven) United season tickets are registered to addresses in Australia.

@_RP_77 @spiritofshankly There’s plenty of people on the ST list so your reply shows that certain ST holders think they are above others. Speaking to a chap who’s pal has a ST but lives in Australia. Is that right and how many are the like that? Thousands I imagine

@MikeThompsonMKT @spiritofshankly No. Take away the ST holders and the whole thing crashes in a hurry the minute it goes tits up on the pitch for a few weeks. Will those ST holders you fucked over return to take up the slack again? Back in the day probably yes, but not any more.

@originaltof So if someone doesn’t agree with you they are out of order? Everyone should be able to respect each others balanced views

Extremely disappointing to see lads in the Kop drinking pints. To each their own like but solidarity used to mean something.

@spiritofshankly Not the point. My non Tory daughter works at club. Club pay the living wage, at 25+ level for all staff. They are trying to make the Matchday experience great for all fans. ST waiting list still being used, would love to be on it but closeEverything has gone up. So should ST’s.

@spiritofshankly Packed Upper Annie and not much support for the protest. No one wants price rises but in all truth the majority understand why. Members who get a game a season are just delighted to get a ticket. Is there a sense of entitlement from ST holders?

@DailyAFC This proves that there is such a huge sense of entitlement within this fan base. No wonder they are so disliked. Booing their own players when 9 points clear 😂

Arsenal fans furious with the Bournemouth analysts, after they celebrated their side’s winner in the press box. The members of staff were told to remain in their seats after the full-time whistle for their safety. ❌🤬

@spiritofshankly @TheAnfieldWrap I would say over half the Upper Annie weren’t clapping.

Spontaneous applause when the ‘No To Ticket Price Increases’ flag was displayed in front of the Kop #YNWA

@HullCity That aged well!!

Heading back to the Steel City ⚔️ #hcafc

@spiritofshankly The percentage increase is pretty much less than all teams in all leagues. I think personally this is an own goal. If they did ticket prices on supply and demand they would be a lot higher so I think everyone needs to be careful what they wish for.

Due to the club’s planned 3-year ticket-rise strategy that ignored the recommendations of the Supporters Board & sees annual increases for regular match goers, we’d encourage fans not to renew their season tickets until near to the deadline on 25 May- further announcements soon!

@MH_HCAFC City would be bankrupt without Sky, and given the ‘emergency’ end of season Corendon deal and increase in membership prices looks like they maybe nearly are

it's been moved for sky sports plus. Who in the world wants to go out of their way and watch Charlton Athletic vs Hull City at 12:30? Sky need binning ASAP #hcafc

Chances created by English right-backs in Europe's top five leagues over the last three seasons: ◉ 132 - Trent Alexander-Arnold ◎ 114 - Kieran Trippier ◎ 55 - Ben White ◎ 50 - Reece James ◎ 48 - Tino Livramento

@druid_1987 @henrywinter TAA has played against Mbappe and Vini and won. So what’s your point?

@henrywinter Imagine the best players in the world like Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Yamal etc running at Alexander-Arnold for 90 mins. I’d be a nervous wreck

England are not in the class of France, Argentina or Spain. But they do have some exceptional talent. Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane are world class. So is John Stones - at his best. Trent Alexander-Arnold is world class - in possession. Declan Rice is having the season of his life. There are more reasons to be positive going into this tournament than negative. But England have to be bold and play to their strengths.  Imagine if England were bold and, if all fit, went into the World Cup… Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Guehi, O’Reilly; Anderson, Rice; Saka, Bellingham, Gordon; Kane.  Stones would have some covering to do of Alexander-Arnold when he raced upfield. Bellingham gets heavily scrutinised but he’s a big-game player, a winner and used to pressure at Real Madrid. He has to start. England also have an exceptional head coach in Thomas Tuchel who can make the right changes at the right time. England have a chance of progressing to the quarter-finals of the World Cup and then anything’s possible. But only if they are bold. Not gung-ho. But bold. Risk/reward. #ENG

Thiago's heatmap makes for interesting viewing

@hullcity_pfa I missed half time in the bloody garden. Were any teachers interviewed?

Nice to see a clip of South Hunsley girls during HT in the Manchester derby during a feature on Jess Park. Remember the schools cup final well at Port Vale @MikeThompsonMKT

@IanByrneMP Ian. The club have still to pay its staff and they pay the living wage dictated by government. Plus the fans want the most successful team and players and as you know, it’s not cheap!!

At a time when so many supporters are struggling to heat their homes, put food on the table and keep up with the rent, the club I love has made a shameful decision to hike ticket prices over the next three years. It’s staggering. It’s tone deaf from the billionaires who run our club in Boston. The very people who play a huge part of making this club what it is, the famous 12th man, the beating heart of Liverpool are being priced out and pushed aside, all while their loyalty is used to sell ‘Brand Liverpool’ across the world. LIverpool Football Club stripped of its working class support base is where this ends. This greed from football clubs poses an existential threat to the game and the community that made the club what it is today. #StopExploitingLoyalty #FootballWithoutFansIsNothing
