.. our glorious cup run comes to an end today, these have truly been the best times in a generation. Who could have imagined 2 years ago what we could achieve with a "pub landlord" in charge an an eternal Wembley hoodoo? Fresh memories to last a lifetime. A mammoth task ahead of us today with so many key performers out but nothing can detract from 2 incredible campaigns of success in this historic competition. COYH

It would be a shock I feel we beat St’s today, but shocks happen.
The last two years have show no we can perform on the big occasion. Well, today is a big occasion and we are up against it.
the 17 who take the field need to player their hearts out and WE the fans need to show a bit of faith and back the boys as much as possible.
COYH...
As I put on another thread no one gave us a chance in the semi back in 2005 when we were up against the all conquering St's team (which was by far better than todays side) yet on that day we out fought them and didnt give them a chance.
Whilst its ging to be very difficult it is not an impossible task and we have always managed to get up for the cup so fingers crossed.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
IF you can keep the cup when every week you Are losing players and losing matches too. If you can get past Saints when all men doubt you, Knowing Ben Barba will score a try or two..
Been unbelievable. People have spent their full lives following Hull FC and unfortunately never got to see them win at Wembley. Can't believe how lucky I am that in my short time following Hull I've seen us win in Cardiff, get to Old Trafford and play 4 times at Wembley, winning twice.
Just seen on the BBC again the Houghton tackle from 2016. Man, gives me chills and goosebumps every time I see it. Under all circumstances it's the best tackle I'll ever see in my life.

The greatest sporting moment for me. Absolutely breathtaking.
