Gunners ‘crumble’, insists Hunt

ARSENAL may have beaten Aston Villa yesterday but Hull City midfielder Stephen Hunt has dismissed their hopes of winning a first title since 2004.

Hunt’s remarks came at the end of week which saw the Tigers and the Gunners charged by the FA for failing to control their players following a melee during last weekend’s ill-tempered clash at the Emirates.

The confrontation was sparked by Samir Nasri threading on the ankle of Tigers midfielder Richard Garcia as the visitors contested a free-kick decision late in the first half, with Hunt and Nick Barmby squaring up to the Frenchman as players from both sides piled into the ruck.
