I feel my work here is done.
The sole aim of me starting this thread was to attract comments such as "If you don't like it", don't read it and "its for Hull fans".
Well, there are many threads on here which essentially start with a Hull fan reading something on the unofficial Rovers forum and then turning it into a FC/Rovers thing when it wasn't to start with. "If you don't like it, why read it?"
I detect a high level of hypocrisy amongst several contributors.
FWIW, that was the 1st time I have ever stumbled across the aforementioned work of (ill) literacy. I won't be venturing back. Wilf makes Dick Tingle's work appear like booker prize material.

There's generally a fair few 'digs' at fc in there, do you find this irritating or annoying. Wilf having a go at us is a crowd pleaser it what his readers expect, his dummy spitting is also 'what he does' and no doubt us having a go back is fuel to him. I personally think he's a prat, but I guess thats his intention, if it was the other way round I'd no doubt hold him in high regard.
Lets face it, having a thread all to himself on our forum must be a cause of great delight to him (whether he'd admit it or not) afterall he must have got under the skin of a fair few. As GML said if you don't like it don't read it, having no feed back from our side would no doubt annoy him far more than this thread.

he's probably doing cartwheels in the knowledge that were acknowledging he even exists.....however, the digs at Hull in the fanzine is ok as far as i'm concerned because they give it back & each side accepts it....its banter. When one 'person' has the attitude that he's untouchable.....its that i find quite distasteful and can only hope that each derby victory we achieve is another sleepless night for him and his sidekick K.

Great work Wilf.
