10 Reasons Why History Is Not On Newcastle's Side For Relegation Fight
5. The Tigers Hosted Manchester United On The Final Day Of The 2008-09 Season
On May 24th, 2009, Hull City hosted Manchester United at the KC Stadium on the final day of the Premier League season. Despite losing 1-0 to the Red Devils thanks to a Darron Gibson strike, Hull survived in the top flight at Newcastle's expense. It just so happens that on May 24th, 2015, Hull City host Manchester United at the KC Stadium on the final day of the Premier League season. Will they once again avoid the drop and send the Magpies down? Well, the result would need to be different, but the omens aside from that look good for the Tigers - and depressing for the Magpies.
