Who are the best ever team to be relegated? 09:40 - Jul 6 with 5739 viewsbournemouthblue

inspired by the Budgies farcical claims of bring the best side ever to be relegated, who do we reckon is actually the best side to be relegated from the Premier League?

I imagine West Ham who were relegated with the highest points total will have a fair shout?

Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!

Are some people actually claiming that to be the case? Odd given they're rock bottom and can't beat an egg. They're not even the best side to be relegated this season.

Newcastle in 2016 are worthy of a mention. Their squad was far too good to go down but Rafa came in too late. Steve Mclaren, what a disaster he is.

Yep, that West Ham side with Sinclair, Joe Cole, Carrick, Kanoute, etc.

I think the actual claim from Chris Sutton was 'best team to be bottom of the premier league', which is also demonstrably nonsense.

Has to be that West Ham team. At least 3 of them went on to win the league.

They certainly seem to be pulling out all the stops to prove him to be a total pillock right now!

That's a fair shout there, that was a very strong side indeed

The Middlesboro team with Juniniho(sp?), Emerson, Ravenelli, et al spings to mind.

They were handicapped by having Bryan 'the old Roy Keane' Robson managing them though.

Tbf so were every other candidate for this title which is why they got relegated despite having standout players. I think the unluckiest team to be relegated are Sheff utd. After being done by the Tevez and Mascherano deal.

Oh yeah, two panic-bought goalies deffo.

for me, the main issue we had was the fact that we had precious little mobility in defence OR central midfield.
Sides were wise to our best play coming through Magilton and looked to cut him him off, leaving him chasing shadows(very slowly) and Matt Holland fire fighting and anyone running at McGreal and Venus...

And teams become shambolic when they do not have best faith in their keeper. The fish rots from the head and all that.

Yup, both keepers failed to inspire confidence, Marshall in particular was an absolute joke. We went down and we deserved to go down, personally don't consider us unlucky or to have been a particularly "good" team who went down, too many changes, too soon.

Man City 1937/38 must be a decent shout.

Champions the previous season and the division's top scorers in the season they went down. I think possibly the only team ever relegated from the top division with a positive goal difference?

That is a good shout. Especially considering it wasn't long before that David O'L had got them to a Champions League semi final. I don't like Leeds but I did like that side a lot. Martyn, Harte, Kelly, Rio, Woodgate, Radebe, Smith, Kewell, Viduka, Fowler, Keane, Dacourt etc.

Harte's still a cheating **** though.

They , Wolves and Leicester all went down with the same points total: 33.

Leeds finished in 19th place.

I think the Newcastle squad of 2008 were better. Too many mercenaries though and a shambolic trail of managers.

No squad containing Owen, Nolan, Barton, Duff, Martins, Taylor, Butt, Collocini, Enrique, Smith and Viduka should have been anywhere near going down.

My hobbies include being quiet during trips, clapping with songs, and diabetes.
