The YNWAWK 2008/2009 Review: Part 4

The fact that Hull stayed up after winning one of their last twenty-one games.

For me, the biggest shock was Manchester City's deadline day swoop for Robinho, that day was a whirlwind one in football, with City takeover only just confirmed they went after everyone, literally everyone. But, when they actually captured him it was a coup of coups, especially when you consider the fact that they beat Chelsea to his signature.

Jack:

The prominence/success of Rory Delap's throw ins was a big surprise. As was the calamity that they caused in many defences, especially at the start of the season. Eventually, keepers were putting the ball out for corners instead of throw ins.

Hoxey:

Robbie Keane. Not much to say except, 20million? And the eventual conclusion, 'Why don't we send him back?'

Tom:

Hull City avoiding the drop. Before the season started they were pencilled in to go straight back down, with a squad that looked way too weak for the Premier League, but a series of shock wins, built upon attacking football, assisted by the odd Giovanni wonder goal made Hull the real surprise package early in the season. Then there was the awful run of form, where they looked to be going straight down. But, through early brilliance and then last gasp fortune, Hull escape the drop in a memorable maiden top flight season.
