Arsenal’s parade plans have got Tigers up for the cup

Arsenal’s parade plans have got Tigers up for the cup

Hull midfielder David Meyler reckons news that Arsenal are already planning their victory parade has gifted the Tigers an extra incentive to win the FA Cup for the first time in their history on Saturday.

Traffic notices in north London make clear the Gunners are expecting to show off the trophy in an open-top bus tour around Islington the day after the final on Sunday. But Meyler is adamant the Tigers will revel in their role as underdogs and could not resist a stark reminder to Arsene Wenger’s men about their distinct lack of opportunities for victory parades in recent seasons.

Meyler said: “Nobody expects us to win it and they haven’t won a trophy in nine years. They’ve got their posters up in London about their parade next week and credit to them.

“I’d rather be the underdog. People are delighted when the underdog wins, I don’t think many people want Arsenal to win.

“The pressure is all on them to win it. We have not been given a chance in the last two years, we were not favourites to go up last year and we were favourites to go down this year.

“But being the underdog isn’t the worst thing in the world and we’ve just got to use it to our advantage. Nobody expected Wigan to win it last year but they made it difficult for Man- chester City and they deserved to win it.

“It gives great hope for all of us. If you want it more than the fellows you are up against then you can win.”

Meyler is expected to be one of the first names on manager Steve Bruce’s team-sheet after a stellar season which helped him shrug off the memory of two career-threatening cruciate ligament injuries. But the 24-year-old still had an anxious wait earlier this month before the Football Association ruled out retrospective action over an alleged stamp on Adnan Januzaj in the Tigers’ 3-1 defeat at Manchester United.

Meyer’s challenge incurred the wrath of Ryan Giggs but Meyler said: “It was an accident because my right foot was in the air. It’s clumsy and slow and sloppy because I was tired.”
