Hull daring to live the dream

THE sight of Hull City lording it among the Premier League’s higher echelons is beginning to lose its novelty value.

Another victory yesterday — their fifth of a fairytale season — cemented the club’s place in the top three and was sealed with enough swagger and solidity to suggest they might just stay there a little longer.

Phil Brown, the club’s jubilant manager, admitted his players were “dancing in the dressing room” after Michael Turner’s winner, which at least proves the players are not growing nonchalant at such success, but it is surely not too early to declare that those who treated Hull’s immediate return to the Championship as a mere formality may have to look elsewhere for their fall-guys — Tottenham, perhaps, or maybe Everton and Newcastle.
