It's a Three-Year Plan, so Don't Be Too Hasty

WHY do the media and plastic supporters seem determined to destroy the Premier League ambitions of Hull City? I have been going for many years and when Paul Duffen took over he said he had a three- year plan to build us into a Premiership club that could not only get there but also stay there. The only thing that has changed is that we got there in one year we were not yet a Premier League club and still are not. It takes five years of playing in this league before you can call yourself a top...

New Parents - Take Every Day As It Comes

Babies do not come with instruction manuals, and for new parents, it can be a daunting time. Figures recently published by the Government found more babies were born in Britain last year than at any time since 1973. A new baby boom may be underway, with more new parents than ever before.

Boys Will Be Boys and Not Just Dads ; Here to Paternity a Terrified Father's Take On Parenthood with Ian Midgley

Mums seem to have it sussed. They have groups were they can meet up, talk about nappies and sore nipples all day and generally bond in a weird, girlie way. When my other half was off on maternity leave she spent half of her life in the local garden centre eating cakes and drinking coffee with her new "mummy mates" - and then, when I arrived home at half past knackered, claimed she hadn't had time to do the piles of washing up in the kitchen because she'd been rushed off her feet.

My boyfriend left me about six months ago, he said to "have some space" as he was fed up with the relationship. Within days he was seeing someone else. I think really he was already seeing this girl while we were together. We had talked about getting engaged. It was really hard at first to get over him and I cried for weeks, but I feel I am coming through the other end. Now, he has said he felt he made a mistake and wants us to try again. Part of me still does love him and I wonder if I shoul...

How Do I Make Sure My Depression Stays Away?

My husband passed away two years ago and my children live away. I also don't have many friends as I am a fairly quiet and shy person. Last winter, I begun to suffer with a mild form of depression due to the way I was feeling and don't ever want to experience that again. I felt better over the summer, but as the nights draw in, I worry it will return.

Get Rid and Get a New Team On Board

AS a Premier League manager, Phil Brown has a lot to answer for. He should have said the price for Turner was Pounds 12m take it or leave it. Instead, he sold him for Pounds 4m up front and brought in Paul McShane. He is not fit to lace Turner's boots.

Duffen Must Sack Him and Say Sorry

WHILE I do not like to see anyone lose their job, I think Phil Brown should go as he and his decisions are demoralising the team. Two wins out of 29 Premier League games is pathetic.

Act Now, Before It's Too Late to Save Us

SHOULD Phil Brown be sacked? Yes he should and as soon as possible. I have read comments saying give him four games, but why give him four games to possibly lose 12 more points? Which potential manager is going to come to us if we're 19th or 20th on four points after 10 games? Brown has taken us as far as he can. Yes he got us where we are, but he cannot live on that forever. We need to stay in this league and I don''t think under Brown that will happen.

Pearson Would Have Axed Him

OF their last 30 Premier League games City have won just three and after the performance against Birmingham it is becoming increasingly more difficult to see where the next three might come from. So many of the basics were lacking. Most corners never reached the goal area, throw-ins were not used to our advantage and there was a lack of imagination in all parts of the pitch.

Get a New Manager or It's Thanks for the Memories

ARE Paul Duffen and Phil Brown joined at the hip? I would not dispute for one moment the achievement of Brown and the players in getting the club into the Premier League, but that does not mean to say Brown is the man to keep them there. Hull City has always been perceived as a club with the potential to go places.

Short-Term Pain for Long-Term City Gain

SACKING Phil Brown is not in the long-term interests of Hull City and I firmly believe he deserves time to turn things around. Even if we do go down (we will if our current form continues), I think the 50-year-old should still continue in his role.

Honours Even Between Barham and Sharks in Group One ; Under-10s

TWO of last season's form under-nines teams in Group One, Hessle Sporting Sharks and Barham Boys, shared the points. In game one, Barham came out 2-0 winners, with Josh Thacker's quick thinking working an opening after a short corner with Lewis Brett.

Potter Goals Steer Hessle to Victories ; Good Start: Four Wins From Four As Rangers See Off Cott Boys Under- 9s

HESSLE Rangers under-9s made it four wins from four in Group Three after seeing off hosts Cottingham Rangers 5-1 and 3-1. In game one, Cott started the brighter team and had the first chances of the game, kept out by Hessle keeper Reuben Fishburn. Then, after a great through ball from Elliot Nevis, Keanne Lewis- Potter scored to put Hessle in the lead and shortly after it was 2- 0 thanks to a superb long-range effort from Jacob Evevson that flew into the top corner.
