As Planet Swans is officially in meltdown with off field antics and posters trying to feel important
Beleive it or not there's a game today .
Head-to-head
Hull are unbeaten in their last six league matches against Swansea (W4, D2).
They are also enjoying a six-game unbeaten run at home in this fixture (W5, D1).
Swansea's last win against the Tigers was in the 2008 League Cup. Their most recent league victory was 4-2 in a bottom division match in 2003.
Hull
Hull have lost five of their last seven Premier League games and are winless in nine (D4, L5).
They have failed to score in six of those nine matches.
The Tigers have the worst home record in the Premier League, earning just six points out of a possible 21 (W1, D3, L3).
Hull are without a Premier League goal in 211 minutes since Sone Aluko's equaliser in the 1-1 draw at Everton at the start of December.
Steve Bruce's side have conceded six goals inside the opening 15 minutes of games, the joint-most with Tottenham.
Swansea
Swansea have suffered successive defeats - they are yet to lose three league matches in a row under Garry Monk.
Having kept five clean sheets in their opening 10 league games, the Swans have kept just one in the subsequent six.
Just five of Swansea's 22 points have come from away matches.
Wilfried Bony, the Premier League's top scorer in this calendar year with 20 goals, has scored eight times in his last 10 league appearances.
Swansea have surrendered a league-high 16 points from winning positions this season, losing four and drawing two.
We need to get a point today , let's hope at least our players heads are on the game !!! |  |

If we have any regulars on this site from Hull, do you think we should start calling them 'Ull' to make them feel more at home? |  | | |

Hull forums hoping Bony puts in a lacklustre performance up there , just like last season . | |

More importantly, does anyone know who has the contract for vending machines at the KC? |  |

Can see Bony having his best game for us today with a hat trick in the first half |  |

It's incredible to think we have Kyle Bartley keeping an Argentine International out of the side and some would keep Kyle in. Look how far we've come!! I expect Fed to go straight in. | |

For the Premier League fixture between Hull and Swansea City, BBC commentator Alistair Mann decided to jazz things up a bit.
Mann cobbled together a wonderfully impressive 30-line poem to set the scene for the game at the KC Stadium.
Back in April, all was well, the Tigers roar was loud,
The Swans they left defeated, the home fans' mood was proud.
Consolidation nearly complete, their status almost secure,
A first cup final looming large, who could ask for more?
And though the Gunners crushed their dreams, optimism reigned,
The manager improved the squad with all the money gained.
But now, as winter's icy blast is gripping Humberside,
The last emotion the supporters feel is anything but pride.
Just two league wins is all they've seen in 16 hard games since,
With each defeat along the way, the fans they simply wince.
A victory just won't arrive in nine duels of frustration;
The word you hear above all else is dreaded "relegation".
And now with fixtures twice a week, there's even greater dread,
Dawson and Diame crocked and Huddlestone saw red!
King Bruce their leader, back in May, thousands wore his mask,
Experienced, he's seen it all, the right man for this task.
One result could turn it round - of that he's so aware,
Perhaps this weekend that time will come inside the Tigers' lair?
The visitors when they arrive, which side will we see?
The word that sums them up right now is "inconsistency".
One win in five, three defeats, but confidence is high,
They should have beaten Spurs last week but things they went awry.
In games against Arsenal and United, quality they showed;
Yet the opening day victory at Old Trafford is their last one on the road.
Prince Bony is their spearhead; he's got eight in 10,
His side will reach its highest gear, not if but surely when.
Garry Monk knows his squad has burgeoning potential,
To take advantage of Hull's plight he now views as essential.
Tis now the panto time of year, with villains and the heroes,
As narrator this weekend, I just don't want any zeroes!" | | | |

There's going to be an even bigger meltdown than normal on here if we lose following that selection. |  |

Bit of an odd lineup. Are Britton and Montero injured and is Richards really preferred to Rangel?
Gomis instead of Bony? Does Monk believe that this is an easy enough game to rest players? I hope he's right! |  | | |
