Brown: some people can’t handle the truth

HULL manager Phil Brown intends to continue “getting up people’s noses” despite the acrimonious events of midweek.

An eventful few days for the Tigers boss saw his side narrowly fail to repeat their Premier League win at Arsenal on Tuesday night, when two late goals condemned them to a controversial 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Emirates Stadium.

Immediately after the match Brown accused injured Gunners captain Cesc Fabregas - who was pictured on the pitch making aggressive gestures towards Hull players following the final whistle – of spitting at his assistant Brian Horton.
