Now my next upload is from the final day of the 2007/08 Premier League season the day that saw Manchester United win their 17th League title and 10th since the birth of the Premier League in 1992 after beating Wigan at the DW. But for many fans the excitement wasn't at the DW Stadium it was at the bottom of the table and the fight for survival as 3 teams Fulham, Birmingham and Reading duked it out to avoid 2 relegation spots only 1 would survive. The Cottagers went to Portsmouth who had 1 eye on Cardiff and the FA Cup Final the following Saturday knowing that if they won they would complete one of the best escapes in Premier League history. Anything less Reading who slipped below the drop line the previous week after registering a 6th straight match without a goal as they lost 1-0 at home to Tottenham would best placed to take advantage, the Royals were at Pride Park to face Derby who that season broke several unwanted records. But if both Fulham and Reading fail to win highly unlikely because Derby were hopeless that season I mean they were that bad then Birmingham still had a chance of getting out of it if they won at home against Blackburn. Enjoy this one folks this is a cracker.

As a Birmingham fan, it was always going to be difficult once Hodgson got Fulham firing, but after they beat us 2-0 a matter of weeks before the final day, it was game over as far as us staying up. It was our first season back in the PL after relegation, and we were woefully under strength, nothing like the team that came up in 2002.

2005, 2008 and 2011 for me are the three greatest last day relegation battles in my lifetime. 2022 was decent (the first time since 2011 that a team, in this case, Leeds, escaped relegation after starting the day in the bottom three) but those three that I mentioned previously were next level

@tombardsley3081 Год назад

The team simply wasn’t ready for the premier league and didn’t have the quality. We got pretty lucky in the playoff final Vs West Brom who were dominating the game. The owners decided to put the club up for sale in the summer which therefore meant they gave no real backing to the manager when it came to transfers. We were beaten to players we wanted by the other promoted clubs eg both Kenwyne Jones and Craig Gordon. I disagree that they didn’t show fight. The team did try their best (they just weren’t good enough ability wise), unlike future bad prem teams eg Aston Villa in 15-16 who were an established premier league club but went down due to poor management and the players didn’t care. They really should have beaten Derby’s points record if not for Man City being generous.

Not to mention England's disaster of not qualifying for the Euros. I'm just saying there were a lot of circumstances around the club as to why we were so bad. The players weren't good enough, the manager didn't know if he was staying on or not and the preparation was poor. There are no excuses for the 2 teams I mentioned that were just as bad in seasons to come, especially Villa. I'd say last season is high up there as well, maybe worse cos the club could have disappeared
