Fuck Off Hull City
Posted on March 18, 2009 - Filed Under Football | 1 Comment
It’s impossible for someone who wasn’t there to say with any certainty exactly what happened, but this Gooner thinks that Hull manager Phil Brown and his staff are full of shit. Even if Fabregas did spit, which he denies, unless he actually spat on the Hull assistant manager I don’t see why it’s such a big deal.
Brown has questioned whether Fabregas should have been allowed on the pitch, adding that he thought his attire of jeans and a puffa jacket was unsuitable and that the Arsenal captain had behaved in an aggressive manner.
“The pictures in the national papers verify the aggression he was showing towards players and staff after the game. I could go on but I’m not one for crying over spilt milk,” he added.
“I then witnessed him going down the tunnel and turning round and spitting at my assistant manager’s feet.
“Whichever way you want to look at it, he addressed that spitting incident at my assistant manager who has managed probably 1200 games in his career. Disgraceful act.”
Brown also revealed he was unhappy with an apparent lack of courtesy shown to him by Wenger in the clubs’ two league meetings this season.
“It just shows how we’ve got up the noses of the Arsenal hierarchy.
“He wouldn’t shake my hand when we beat them fairly 2-1 at the Emirates, he wouldn’t shake my hand when they beat us, fairly, 3-1 at the KC Stadium.”
Definitely not one to cry over spilt milk. Funny too how Phil Brown can get worked up over stuff (“he wouldn’t shake my hand”) that never happened. And what’s wrong with how Cesc is dressed?

Hey thanks for your article.
My opinion is it is hard to tell what happened in the tunnel. However, on the facts that can be verified Hull manager seems to be economical with the truth.
- Wenger has not shaked his hands in the two previous league games: wrong, he has on both occasion.

- His goalkeeper was unfairly booked for time wasting because the referee was homer. wrong.
-Fabregas should be condemned for his choice of cloth. Wrong. And should not be allowed on the pitch at the final wistle. Wrong again.
Does all those events a reflection of What Arsenal FC is all about as declared by Brown? No, more a mere reflection of his own frustration.
And can Brown name any witness to the spit incident (as we as asked on five live). No he can’t. Have we ever heard the assistant telling about the incident? Strangely not and that doesn’t help. Feels like Brown is a bit isolated in his rant.
Is he deflecting attention away from dreadful football results of late? Yes, may be.
He is or he is not one for crying over spelt milk. Well, his words speak volumes.
Shame because all he had to say is ‘Hull got unlucky with the ref decisions on the Gallas goal and that his team battle hard to keep the gunners at bay and should have earned a replay’. Because this is the only truth about this match and It sounds a much more decent explanation.
If I was a Hull fan, I would feel hard done by the Gallas goal but also slightly uneasy with all the media storm; a storm in a tea cup over spilt milk would be my conclusion.
