Hull boss Brown ready for controversial Arsenal return

Hull City boss Phil Brown is ready for their visit to Arsenal this Saturday.

The Hull manager takes his side to the Emirates Stadium for the first time since accusing Cesc Fabregas of spitting on assistant Brian Horton in March. Then, a bad-tempered FA Cup sixth round tie ended in acrimony as Brown hit out at the Arsenal captain, and referee Mike Riley.

He also accused Wenger of failing to shake hands for the second time in a season and of getting goalkeeper Bo Myhill booked because of his complaints. Brown was fined for his trouble while Fabregas was cleared, but he hopes the Arsenal manager won't snub him again, as he did Mark Hughes a fortnight ago.

He said: "I will shake hands with Arsene, of course. It's not for me to comment on what happened at Manchester City.

"I'm there at the end of the game. I will shake hands with every manager this year."
