Brown sings Tigers praises
Hull boss Phil Brown led the celebrations after his side's dramatic escape from relegation this afternoon.
The Tigers were beaten 1-0 by an under-strength Manchester United at the KC Stadium but clung on to their Premier League place courtesy of Newcastle's loss at Aston Villa. Brown went onto the pitch and sang a rendition of the supporters' "This is the best trip I've ever been on" refrain before inviting his players to embark on a lap of honour.
Hull's survival was a remarkable story with the team having taken 20 points from their first nine games but then won just two of their next 29.
Brown said: "I think everyone has expected us this season to be one of the bottom three and I think we have proved a lot of people wrong. How we have done it has been different - especially after those first nine games.
"It wasn't about the one here but the 37 before that and I don't think anyone can have any complaints.
"We got to where we got to with sheer guts, determination, drive - all of the things that have been questioned at times."
