You may be wondering why I seem to be on the naughty step and not doing any @HullCity interviews for @RadioHumberside @HumbersideSport . This may explain more.... #hcafc

Breaking..I'm told KLP is likely to sign a new deal with @HullCity . Sources claim he's been given a sign by tomorrow or don't play at all ultimatum. The club tell me that is "categorically untrue". I'm told he feels he has no choice and wants to play. #hcafc

Most eagerly anticipated @hullcity season in a few years. A sense of a club and community back together. Credit to @acunilicali and his team. Now the tricky part, can they deliver his top-6 ambitions? #hcafc thoughts to come in more tweets.

"He looks like he's played 2 or 3 seasons here." Shota Arveladze to @HumbersideSport on Allahyar's first @HullCity goal. He looks suited to the physicality of the English game "he's a strong, strong, strong boy." Expect the £2m permanent deal to be completed. #hcafc
