Caged Tigers


Things don't look great for Hull City, and this evening's Sky Sports piece does little to improve the reputation of Britain's least popular tourist destination. Newcastle's win against Middlebrough on Monday night pushed the Tigers behind the bars of the drop line for the first time this season, and the city's residents are not hopeful of escape.

They braved an inevitably blustery day to meet the press and assert a pessimism, embodied in their every rain mac, which even the city's most famous librarian, Philip Larkin, might have balked at. "We're going down quicker than the Titanic," said one fan of the seaside club. At 1/3 to go down, the bookies are inclined to agree.
