Before the Play-Off Final, I asked former #HCAFC manager Marco Silva about his time with the Tigers.๐ โซ๏ธ
โHull is a special club. What a six months that was. To create a relationship with the fanbase the way we did, and the way they supported us was not easy, it was specialโฆ
๐๐ A lot of talk about dark horses at the #FIFAWorldCup, but not seeing many mention Ecuador.
๐ซ Pacho and Hincapie in defence - conceded 5 in 18 qualifiers.
Caicedo in midfield with a seemingly ageless Enner Valencia up front. Thereโs a lot to like ๐ช๐จ
โโฆI know the ownership is different right now, but the main part: the fans, the people that love the club, they are the same. I wish really to see them back in the Premier League next season, they deserve it.โ
On the verge of a dream move back home, Silva remembers fondly.๐ต๐น

In my first trip to Wembley as a 10-year-old, Fabio Borini opened the scoring for Sunderland as Manchester City won the League Cup.
Now, 12 years later, the Italian starts on the bench as Salford eye third tier football for the first time. Football, eh?
Savinho great on the left again as he was when he first came into form at City.
One positive from a drab performance. Too little, too late. Congrats, Arsenal.
Iโm delighted for Jimmy and @officiallydale. They did it the hard way again but theyโre back in the Football League and itโs so deserved.
Having spoken to him and some of the players earlier in the season, I could see how special this group is. This club is on the up.๐ต
Does that even cross the line?
Absolutely gut-wrenching for Rochdale. Never seen anything like it.
What an ending to a season that will go down in National League history as one of the very best.
Incredible. Next Saturday will be one for the ages but it remains a crime against football that only one side will go up automatically from the National League.
Bernardo Silva (450) is only 1 game away from matching Mike Summerbee (451) for the 8th most all-time Manchester City appearances.
He's the only player in the T10 that's played for the club after 1986.
Delighted to get a โpremiumโ piece published for @LivEchoLFC.
Really enjoyed writing this one - a considered look at a golden age for the Premier League ahead of this weekend.โ๏ธ
