His long-range effort against the Bolton reserves was inspiring! Phil Brown's will need some of Jimmy Bullard's quality on the pitch to save his job...

Video Report: Hull Vs Manchester United, Hull Beaten By Man Utd Second Strings And Still Beat The Drop

We had feared that this might turn out to be men against boys. We were right. But as it happened, the boys were wearing black and gold. They were outplayed by Manchester United reserves all night.

They probably did not deserve to survive. Darren Gibson's 35 yard strike gave Man Utd a 1-0 victory.

Video Interview: Alex Ferguson Fully Expects A Victory Against Hull 22/5/09

It is that time of the year again. Which club will fall through the relegation trapdoor this Sunday? Hull's chances are probably better since Man Utd will be fielding a weakened side. A fact that Ferguson vehemently denies.

Ferguson's excuse for fielding a reserve side is that if he had played all his first team players on sunday, they would have been less than totally committed for fear of being injured before their Champions League final against Barcelona. Thus he is maintaining the integrity of EPL.

Ferguson said,“The rest of the league may think that would be good because United are playing their strongest team but it could be the worst thing that could happen to us. It’s possible, with a European Cup final on Wednesday, those players could be tip-toeing around.

“But there is no need for anyone to worry about our intentions on Sunday. We have a League that has the best integrity in the world and we will play our part at Hull.

"There will be experienced international players relishing the chance to come back alongside some with fantastic potential."

“The only thing they have to prove is that the minute they put that jersey on, they have to win. It doesn’t matter what XI I pick, that is what they have to prove.”

It should be Tomasz Kuszczak, Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown, Richard Eckersley, Darren Fletcher, Darron Gibson, Rodrigo Possebon, Danny Welbeck, Federico Macheda, Lee Martin or Zoran Tosic lined up against Hull on Sunday.

And on that note, whip out your hankies, and say goodbye to the teams who had lasted this long before relegating.

Fabregas spits at Horton

The FA Cup quarter-final at the Emirates Stadium concluded in a myriad of controversy when Phil Brown, the Hull manager, said he witnessed Fabregas spitting at Hull's assistant manager Horton in the tunnel when the match ended. Horton has contacted the League Managers' Association (LMA) regarding the incident.

Phil said: "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 am not one for crying over spilt milk.

"I then witnessed him going down the tunnel and turning around 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.

"I am not going to report it, I am not going tittle-tattling to the FA - if they want to investigate that is their decision, and if Brian Horton wants to take it further he will get the full support of Hull City."

Fabregas denied all allegations against him.

"I was on the pitch at the end of the game celebrating with my team-mates, but I promise I did not do anything wrong," he said. "It was not until half an hour after the game that I heard what Hull were saying about me and it is not something that is easy to accept.

"I understand Hull are angry and frustrated about going out of the FA Cup. But I don't know why they are saying these things about me because it did not happen. That is the truth.

"I don't even know who the assistant manager of Hull is or what he looks like. I am told Hull will be making an official complaint to the FA about me.

"Well, I am perfectly relaxed about that. I have nothing to hide."
