Phil Brown on radio this morning ...
Tool.
What has being on the pitch and the way he dresses have to do with it?
"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."
Right ... Cesc probably unknowingly spit in Horton's path. He probably had a fit because he almost stepped on it and dirtied his shoes.
"One, being on the pitch after the game - whether there is a ruling against that I have no idea but he had no right to be there.
"Two, dressed in the manner in which he was dressed.
"Three, 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'm not one for crying over spilt milk.
"I then witnessed him going down the tunnel and turning round 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'm not going to report it, I'm not going tittle-tattling to the FA - if they want to investigate that's their decision, if Brian Horton wants to take it further he'll get the full support of Hull City."
Brown revealed: "The referee can't report, the referee and the linesmen and the officials had gone down the tunnel and were probably well inside their rooms, same as Mr Wenger, same as the majority of the Arsenal staff and players."
And speaking about his frosty relationship with Wenger, Brown said: "It just shows how we've got up the noses of the Arsenal hierarchy.
"He wouldn't shake my hand when we beat them fairly 2-1 at the Emirates, he wouldn't shake my hand when they beat us, fairly, 3-1 at the KC Stadium."
