Some of you may remember Boxing Day 2008, when Phil Brown gave his players a talking to, on the Manchester City pitch, at half time, in front of their 5,500 travelling fans, following the Tigers awful first half display, which left them 4-0 down.
Phil likened them to a Sunday league team and well, this didn't win any points, though Hull did draw the second half 1-1. Mind you MCity may have taken their foot off the gas by then.
