[edit] Transfers

[edit] Summer

Hull City were linked with a vast number of players during the summer transfer window. Most of these were just rumours, however. Craig Fagan rejoined the club from Derby County, having spent the latter part of the previous season on loan at Hull City. On Saturday 5 July 2008 Hull City completed the signing of Brazilian star Geovanni on a free transfer, following his release from fellow Premier League side Manchester City.[54] On 8 July Nick Barmby spoke about new signing Geovanni saying "He's fit in straight away and certainly looks a good player."[55] Peter Halmosi soon followed, and the day after he signed for Hull he talked about signing the contract stating it was a dream come true to play in the Premier League.[56] Hull were also eager to sign Fraizer Campbell who played for Hull on loan in the 2007-08 season.[57] On Thursday 14 August Hull made Anthony Gardner's loan into a permanent deal for £2.5 million; breaking their transfer record. On 1 September 2008, Hull City made a bid that would have shattered the club record, £7 million for Fraizer Campbell. However, Campbell instead joined Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan, as part of the deal that took Dimitar Berbatov to Manchester United.

[edit] Winter

On 23 January 2009, Jimmy Bullard was purchased from Fulham for £5 million on a four-and-a-half-year contract, which became the record highest fee paid by the club.[75] However, he suffered a serious knee injury on his Hull City debut against West Ham and played no further part in the season. Kamil Zayatte's loan was made permanent, and City also brought in experienced and versatile left-sided player Kevin Kilbane from Wigan.

[edit] Preseason Training

Hull were one of the first clubs in the Premier League to start preseason training. The players took part in a test to assess their fitness.[88] From 4 July to 11 July Hull trained in Bormio, Italy.[89] Hull's first day of training took part at FC Bormio's training ground.[90] On day two, Hull players went bike riding in the morning, gym work mid day and pitch work and swimming sessions afterwards.[91] On Day three Hull training started at 7:15 with a bike ride, then a session on the pitch. Paul Duffen came to visit the players.[92] On 7 July Andy Dawson admitted that the training was a great experience.[93] On 8 July Dean Marney said "Obviously it's been a great experience once again," and said it has helped with his fitness.[94] On the same day Goalkeeper Boaz Myhill said how positive the trip has been.[95]

[edit] Premier League

Main article: Premier League 2008–09

Hull's first season in the top tier of English Football in their 104-year history.[113]

KC Stadium where Hull play their Premier League home games[2]

[edit] August–December

Hull's Premier League opener was at home to Fulham. Hull started rather poorly and went behind after eight minutes from a Seol Ki-Hyeon header. Hull's comeback came when Geovanni scored from a shot from outside the box, the goal was Hull's first Premier League goal and Geovanni's first as a Hull player. In the second half Hull scored the winner from substitute Caleb Folan's shot when he slotted the ball into the net from Craig Fagan's low cross. Hull won the game putting them joint top of the league, joint second on goal difference and 3rd on alphabetical order.[9][114][115][116][117] Hull's second game was against Blackburn Rovers away. The home team scored first when Jason Roberts scored in the 39th minute.[10] Hull came back to get a draw; before halftime Australian Richard Garcia scored with a header from a Craig Fagan cross.[118] There followed a home game against Wigan which turned out to be a heavy 0–5 defeat. Sam Ricketts turned a corner from Kevin Kilbane in to his own net after 5 minutes to open the scoring. Antonio Valencia scored after 13 minutes and provided the cross for Amr Zaki to stroke home in the second half. Five minutes later Emile Heskey scored from a poor clearance by Wayne Brown. Nine minutes from time Amr Zaki drove in off the crossbar to inflict the first defeat of the season on Hull.[12]

An away game at managerless Newcastle United followed. Nicky Butt's foul on Péter Halmosi resulted in a penalty which allowed Marlon King to open the scoring for City. He slotted home a second 10 minutes into the second half. Newcastle tried to get back into the match and a Charles N'Zogbia shot rebounded off the post to Xisco who pulled a goal back. As full time approached, Danny Guthrie was sent off for a foul on Craig Fagan, which broke Fagan's leg and caused him to miss several weeks of football while injured. City secured a deserved 1–2 victory.[13]

A home game against Everton followed in which City took the lead from a Dean Marney corner which was headed home by Michael Turner. Early in the second half another Dean Marney corner was turned in by Phil Neville for an own goal. Everton pulled one back when a Tim Cahill shot bounced in off the crossbar. They drew level minutes later when Leon Osman scored from close range to secure a 2–2 draw.[14]

A trip to Arsenel provided a test for the City but they withstood the pressure during the first half. Following the re-start the home team were soon in front when a Cesc Fàbregas shot found the net after coming off Paul McShane. City responded with a 25-yard (23 m) shot by Geovanni quickly followed by a Daniel Cousin header from an Andy Dawson corner. Arsenal's William Gallas hit the crossbar and Boaz Myhill saved a late shot from Cesc Fàbregas to give the visitors a 1–2 victory.[15]

A further away game at Tottenham Hotspur followed. City raced into the lead with a 30-yard (27 m) free kick by Geovanni after just nine minutes. Tottenham's Gareth Bale and Jonathan Woodgate hit the post, as did Dean Marney before half time. Neither side managed to score in the second half giving City a 0–1 victory.[16]

After a break for internationals a home game against West Ham United was next up. City's Marlon King created the first opportunity with a cross to Daniel Cousin who volleyed just passed the post. At the other end Carlton Cole shot straight at Boaz Myhill. Dean Marney came close twice for City before Hérita Ilunga headed wide, Valon Behrami shot passed the post and Craig Bellamy shot over the crossbar. Missed chances left the game goalless at half time. Soon after the restart a corner by Andy Dawson was headed home by Michael Turner to break the deadlock. Almost immediately Carlton Cole nearly levelled but his shot came off the crossbar. Kamil Zayatte almost had a second for Hull but shot over the bar leaving Hull with a 1–0 victory over the visitors.[17]

An away match at West Bromwich Albion was the next action by the Tigers. Albion opened the stronger, with Ishmael Miller being blocked by Andy Dawson who picked up an injury which saw him being substituted for Sam Ricketts after only 10 minutes. Albion's Borja Valero had a shot that was saved by Boaz Myhill, Jonas Olsson hitting the rebound off the crossbar for Roman Bednář to miss the second rebound. On a break City gained a corner but Kamil Zayatte headed wide. A Daniel Cousin shot was deflected and Scott Carson scooped the ball off the line to leave the game goalless at half time. Soon after the restart City gained a corner and Kamil Zayatte volleyed home. Albion's Ryan Donk and James Morrison had shots saved before Marlon King put the ball in the area for a diving Geovanni to head in. Minutes later Marlon King was also on the score sheet after slotting in to the corner of the net, leaving it another away victory of 0–3 for City.[18]

A mid-week home game against leaders Chelsea followed, with a record crowd at the KC Stadium. Chelsea were soon in the lead when Frank Lampard lobbed in. Both teams missed opportunities the nearest being Daniel Cousin hitting the post for City. Soon after the break indecision in the City defence allowed Nicolas Anelka to run in and slot home. After missing several attempts Florent Malouda finally scored from six-yards from a Ricardo Carvalho cross. City lost 0–3 in a match which could easily have been a much heavier defeat.[19]

Then on 1 November the Tigers travelled to Old Trafford to play Manchester United away from home. The match was gripping, and after 3 minutes United scored only to be brought back to earth by the Tigers free kick headed in by Daniel Cousin. United went on to score a further 3 goals, but after half time the Tigers looked back on track and regained 2 goals in the final few minutes thanks to Bernard Mendy and Giovanni. The final score 4–3 to Manchester United.[20]

[edit] Summary

Hull entered the FA Cup at the third round stage and were handed a home tie against Newcastle United. The match took place on 3 January 2009 at the KC Stadium and though both sides had chances neither were able to break the dead-lock.[31] A replay at St James' Park took place on 14 January 2009. Newcastle had the better of the first half. After 21 minutes Butt headed a free kick onto the crossbar and later after a clash of Hull defenders, Owen shot high with only Matt Duke to beat. After half-time Owen had a low shot low turned round the post by Duke and Charles N'Zogbia had a shot blocked by Zayatte. Cousin broke the dead-lock on 81 minutes by turning in a Garcia cross. Newcastle hod opportunities to equalise but failed to find the target.[33]

Hull's 0–1 win at Newcastle put them in the draw for the fourth round and they were given another home match this time against Football League One team Millwall. The match took place on 24 January 2009 at the KC Stadium. Hull fielded a changed team which saw goalkeeper Tony Warner getting a debut. Turner put Hull in the lead with a header following a Dawson free kick. Millwall failed to make the most of their opportunities and Hull sealed the match with a late strike by Ashbee.[35]

Hull entered the fifth round for the first time since 1989[35] and were given an away tie with local team Sheffield United. The local derby match took place on 14 February 2009 at Bramall Lane. Sheffield were quickly on the score sheet with a header by Greg Halford from a cross by David Cotterill. Hull responded before half time when Kamil Zayatte headed in an Andy Dawson centre. There were opportunities for both sides in the second half but no one was able to break the 1–1 dead-lock.[39]

The fifth round replay took place on 26 February at the KC stadium. Hull took the lead when a header from United defender Kyle Naughton bounced off his own crossbar and crossed the line for an own-goal. United levelled soon after with a Billy Sharp shot. City sealed the match early in the second half when Péter Halmosi shot in from a Nick Barmby cross. Hull's 2–1 win gave them a place in the last eight for the first time in 38 years.[41]

A quarter final game against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on 17 March 2009 was the prize for getting to this stage in the competition. Hull started the best and after 13 minutes took the lead when a Nick Barmby shot from an Andy Dawson cross was deflected into the Arsenal net. A Geovanni free kick was pushed over by Cesc Fàbregas followed by a Nick Barmby goal being disallowed for offside. Kamil Zayatte also came close with a header before Arsenal started to reply before the break with an Andrei Arshavin shot blocked by Sam Ricketts. Following the break Arsenal continued to apply pressure with Abou Diaby heading wide and then Andrei Arshavin being blocked by Sam Ricketts. A Robin van Persie header was blocked on the line by Andy Dawson and Alexandre Song shot the rebound wide. Following sustained pressure, Hull were pegged back by Robin van Persie after 74 minutes. Hull almost regained the lead from a Geovanni shot which went wide, but Samir Nasri lofted a free-kick into the area which keeper Boaz Myhill failed to hold and Gallas headed home the winner from what looked like an offside position. Hull could not respond and lost the match 1–2 on the night with Arsenal going on to play Chelsea in the semi-final.[45]
