Well, you don't accept the logic because you then said "just a fan that would have liked a bit of cup glory AS WELL AS success in the league". You'd prefer we pointlessly played a full strength team today and to hell with the consequences? I challenge you to name me a team outside of the top...
Highbury, not Hull away.
Seriously, if we'd had a decent draw then maybe (definitely not!) the attitude would be different but Hull away kills any cup enthusiasm. What a waste of everyone's time.
Long may the realities of the real world pass you, and others, by. This is what happens when you're well placed for a chance to get promoted to a league which will generate you more than £100million.
Losing today was 100% certain. We don't need the distraction of the cup, and Hull away? Sod that. All those who travelled knew the team picked would be weak, there was no intent to win the game and only losing 1-0 was the best result possible.
It's not like anyone has been deceived.
