Leeds?! They were defending champions! Weird.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

Who did derby beat that year?
Surely they would be the actual worst team!

 

[Halmeister]

There was a really shit Sunderland team that got 15 points one year. 4 of which were against us.

I'm surprised Barnsley aren't on there, they were wretched.

Lolz

Weren't Swindon shit, during their short stint in the pl

 

[peterhague]

Yeah, they were really terrible. They even lost 5-0 at home to us, which reminds me how utterly fucking rubbish we seemed to be away from home under Souness. I was only young at the time but, during 91/92 especially, I hardly remember us winning an away game. The whole concept seemed somehow alien to me back then. It was just something other teams did.

Think it was Newcastle, typical it was them.

They need to revamp the promotion process. Three mediocre teams is just no fun and a waste of time. They usually just struggle joylessly whilst their owners panic about money and bring in even more boring managers. I think in future there should be the top two promoted and then a joker place: whichever other team is set to be the most entertainingly and comically inept should go up. This would achieve the same ultimate result as usual - relegation straight back down - but at least their matches would guarantee loads of goals, chaotic tactics and maybe the odd fight.

I had to wiki it:

but Swindon never adjusted to the pace of Premier League football.[13] They were relegated after recording only five wins and conceding 100 goals — the latter record yet to be broken — and have never returned to the top flight. One of the few successes of the season was a 2–2 draw against champions Manchester United in the league.

100 goals WOW!

When they first introduced the playoffs, I think they used to include the 3rd bottom top flight team and 3-5th in the second flight. I always thought that was much more interesting than just 3-6 in the second division.

Clearly Chelsea are the worst team to ever grace the Premier League. An abomination built in a gangster's image.

 

[gkmacca]

The most redundant club in the league was Middlesborough. The beige of sport. The upside-down buttered toast on football's kitchen floor. The tiny but all-too visible grease spot on the revolving bow-tie of human happiness.

I reckon this season, they should do a mass wackamazoo playoff exercise - all Premier League clubs outside the top four will play a two-legged playoff with Championship clubs in the corresponding position to determine who plays in which league next season. Totally wild and absurdly fun times. Moyes can actually add a Championship crown to complete his collection of lower league titles.

I lived in Falkland St, right behind Ayresome Park when they were in the second division and went into receivership. We could hear the roar of 'Boro, Boro' in our lounge and the shake of the corrugated iron at the back of the stands when they rattled it. Lenny Lawrence was the manager. I liked them then. Then Gibson/Robson/Juninho/The White Feather came along and made them utter bellends.
