Tigers Stay Up
By: Matt | May 24th, 2009Hull Stay Up
It was by the skin of their teeth, but Hull City survived the drop on the final day, after Newcastle lost away to Aston Villa, 1-0. The Tigers fell to a young Manchester United side, courtesy of a Darren Gibson pile driver in the first half. While Andy Dawson came close on the other end, it all came down to events at Villa Park, where the Claret and Blue took on Alan Shearers Newcastle. A deflected effort from Gareth Barry was all the Villains needed to condemn Newcastle to defeat.
The main emotion at the moment is relief, as it was a nervy as hell final 10 minutes in each match. I ended up just watching the Newcastle match towards the end, as I didn’t feel like Hull would get an equalizer. Obviously I am biased, but in the end I think Hull deserved to stay up of the group, as they did enough in the early part of the season to show they were deserving of Premiership football. Yes, they were abysmal in the latter half of the year, but now we have the summer to prepare for a better campain in 09-10. Newcastle on the other end will have to deal with a season (at least) in the Championship, and while their supporters will feel they deserve better, the squad and ownership certainly do not, as they were an absolute shambles through most of the season.
So now we’ll relax a bit, and recap the season in a few days time. COYH.

Congratulations to Hull on a job well done. They had a great first half of the season, and if they could carry that through next year, they’ll be sure to cause some upsets. Overall, very nice first season from Hull

yes Hull deserved it. There is no question us of us being “Lucky”. We got more points over 38 games than the bottom 3. Those are the rules.
