Realistically, no club in the premier league can be considered the most depressing! Clubs like Grimsby, Scunthorpe are head and shoulders above any other club in the depressed tables😁
“Thankfully I’m not a Scunthorpe United fan”. True a few bad seasons, but only 15 years ago were beating Newcastle United in a league match! Grimsby were beating massive teams in my lifetime. You haven’t a clue on football history,you just focus on limited history. Broaden your understanding on the quickness of success and failure , you have a lot to learn.
I went to Sheffield Wednesday vs Aston Villa and I was truly concerned for my safety, it doesn’t seem like they have learned anything from the Liverpool tragedy.
That Chinese (?) Prick who owns Reading at the moment is a real piece of work... He REALLY needs to sell the club to someone who will take an interest in wanting to run the club like it should be run and returning them to their former (somewhat) glory
Argyle fan here. How do Oldham not make this list. They haven't been promoted in over 30 years, in that time they haven't finished in the top half of a table in over half of these seasons, spending almost half of the last 30 years finishing in the bottom third of each respective division they have been on. They have watched their team get relegated from premier league to national league, survived multiple relegations I'm great escapes and watched terrible ownership and off the field problems dismantle their club. They have had very little to celebrate
On top of that we've got a stadium they call Ice Station Zebra. Actually, with Frank Rothwell as the new owner and Mickey Mellon as the new manager things are finally starting to look up. But I'm writing this trying to forget the 1-4 demolition we experienced at home to Ebbsfleet last weekend...
Two words: Oldham Athletic Only PL team ever to drop out of the football league entirely and haven't achieved a single promotion since they were relegated from the PL 30 years ago...
Love what you do - from stadiums to shirts to diehard fans to most depressing clubs to all of it - you bring the World of Football alive. Thanks! You're a treasure. And please keep doing what you're doing.
I went to a j league game recently and spent a fantastic time in with the home fans who sang and waved flags almost nonstop for 2 hours, the atmosphere was absolutely incredible and the away team won.
I love this channel. England is much more than the Premier League and this channel is proof of that. Great video as always, very entertaining (and informative). Hopefully Reading gets out of the hole they're stuck in.
What makes a club depressing to support is when you're genuinely worried the current owners might bring about the club's ruin, and there's nothing you can do about it.
I look forward to the day when such honest, straightforward, and observant commentators such as yourself are the people who the world looks to for analysis. Much appreciation and love to you!
I think at least recently Millwall deserves an honorable mention. Our Owner who stabliized the club and helped turn us into Championship Playoff contenders tragically died in a car accident this offseason. Now we're in a relegation battle.
American Everton fan, I am not depressed at all! That deduction was nothing but corruption and I’m excited for the rest of the season and Sean Dyche keeping us up for now 💙💙💙
If the Premier League/EFL have this 'fit and proper' test for potential owners why do they do nothing when they turn out to be incompetent?? Points deductions only really punish the team and supporters, not the rich guy. They should be removed as owners and forced to sell the club to pay off debts and creditors. And this should come out of their own pockets, not the club's budget.
Our new potential owners are run by the guy who wrecked Wigan, our current owner who has ruined us was told he wasn't fit and proper to buy a premier league club.....yet then bought us. The EFL have a lot to answer for.
I started watching @officialstuntpegg videos because of her video about Oldham being the first Prem team to be relegated to non-league. Up until that point we were statistically the most depressing football league team to support. It only changed because we were no longer a football league team 🤣
I like the hot food analogy for ManU fans 😊 Sure, they have reason to be angry/frustrated, but compared to clubs with existential threats or similar...I just can't garner much empathy.
I really hope Reading find a way through this. As a Hull City supporter I know the hard ships they're facing. A rich owner that wants to see the club fail. It's shocking to see that this scenario has become so common it's not even a surprise anymore. I hope you find your own Acun Illicali to save you from this.
We know who we are, we know who we are...! City of Culture, we know who we are. To be fair, there was a kind of enjoyment facing the inevitable relegation battle at the bottom of div 3 usually played out on the most awesome playing surface in the country, either standing in the relative luxury of the south stand at Fer Ark or dodging the rust and moss falling from the West/east stand. Happy days, really...
Its all relative. I support Middlesbrough and we were getting 5,000 or so supporters at Ayresome Park and struggling at the foot of the 2nd tier. We got relegated, had the administrators kick us out of the ground, had players just leave and didnt know if we would have a club at the start of the next season. Thats depressing. But that was in 1986 and since then we have had many ups and downs, including almost dropping back in to the 3rd tier, but thats football. Its ups and downs. Sheff Wed were happy as anything going in to the season. Everton were happy they avoided relegation last season. I imagine they would have been more depressed had they been deducted 10 points last season...ask them which they prefer. Its not that long since Reading were a Premier League club and Luton were nowhere. If anyone thinks its depressing supporting Everton perhaps they should be Darlington or Bury fans
Any would be Northerner friends reading these comments, worried about your club, you have my sympathy, as my club Portsmouth nearly went into liquidation. Thank you for another video, my half Italian Northern friend.
@@alanprior7650 For me, there have always been two major problems. The first one being bad management from messers the Gaydamaks, and Mandaric leaving, and John Gregory being our scapegoat. The second one is the real war between us and our rivals Southampton, is Pompey and Saints v the 657 crew, whom denied being racist troublemakers, and got kicked out of our club, by Milan Mandaric.
@alanprior7650 Gaydamak senior was the real owner as was proved when his assets were frozen resulting in Pompey having their line of credit closed and all loans called in. After that we witnessed a squabble between Portpin wanting to recover £18m from a court battle with Gaydamak snr. We're well rid of all of them.
@@johnw29 The Gaydamaks did at least put money into the club to allow Harry to buy the key players (or get them on free transfers like Kanu, Distin and Sol Campbell) to get us into Europe and win the FA Cup. Never understood how the money all disappeared so suddenly, given that Harry actually made a huge profit on several of the players he bought in. Gaydamaks must have been siphoning it back out somewhere.
Thanks for the mention, Up The Iron (Scunthorpe)! This is a great video, much respect for the Sheffield Wednesday fan, he’s on point. Only one of these five I don’t care about, formerly Newton Heath.
You do amazing Football content Nieve :) and i really do feel for the fans of these clubs there is definitely a problem with ownership in football i think
That is so funny, those shots of poor Peg sitting in the stands at some depressing match, with this look of impending doom and horror on her face. I can't tell if her wide-eyed expressions are due to "the product on the pitch" or if she's drowning in the horrid atmosphere of the ground she's sat in.
I would have said Cheltenham Town should be on the list, we didn’t score a league goal until the middle of October! 😳 But amazingly Darrell Clarke is turning our season around…
Nice to see a fellow Cheltenham Town,Yeah we were pretty bad under Wade Elliott.Apart from the game against AFC Wimbledon 😢 Darrell Clarke as really starting to turn things around 👍👍
As a bournemouth fan i can confirm we have no fans. This is despite bournemouth being the best club to support in the whole league. It is a testament to the general stupidity of the country.
just 10 minutes ago i was watching the sheffield wed video and now i saw this. I now have enough information to comment on which is the most depressing club in uk, thank you :)
Love the video, insightful evidence for the top 3, and I agree wholley. I'm do disagree with 5th/4th though. I personally think, if your club is in the Premier League and not about to go bust, then you can't be the most depressing club. United especially. Just because it's dropped off from their standards doesn't mean it's in the realms of 'depressing' - the club still spend billions on players, and are in Europe. It's far and away from 15 years ago, but it's hardly a Bury, or one of the teams that have plummeted. Completely agree with the Top 3. Hope QPR isn't a club on a large downwards spiral that end up dropping repeatedly, & I hope Reading get back on track. But to suggest United and to a lesser extent Everton fans are in as dyer of a situation as fans who have been trying to stop their club going bust, or asset stripped, or relegated from the EFL, then that is a dis-service to those fans experiencing that. Keep the vids coming though!
As a City fan, I can write with great authority on this. We've done the lot. In my time as a City fan in my mid-30s, I've seen three relegations, third tier football, three promotions and also seen seven league titles, three FA Cups, six League Cups, a Champions League, a Super Cup and a Club World Cup. I've enjoyed both times, the supposed dark times and the glory days. There are plenty of City fans who would happily go back. I could have gone through life rarely winning trophies and being happy with promotion seasons and the odd derby win. The worst type of football fan to be in my opinion is not one who's gone through peaks and troughs but the ones who seem to stay in the same division constantly but never actually doing anything.
Agree 💯. I got into City by chance in the mid 90's after watching Georgie Kinkladze and I stuck with them. Still got fond memories of Saun Goater etc in the late 90's early 2000's. I miss those days tbh
@ShozzleMeNoz. I'm in my 63rd. season now, first game Feb. '62. I've witnessed 6 relegations. In a way I feel sorry for "new" CITY fans. Having never experienced the gut churning experience of going into the last day of a season, knowing we only needed a draw to avoid relegation and then ballsing it up. I've always said that supporting CITY was preparation for all the disappointments one will face in life. Death, divorce, relegation etc. The worst relegation, for me was in '83. I was 29 and I cried. Having seen 1 relegation prior to '83 then going onto becoming 2nd. div champions, 1st div champions, F A Cup winners, League Cup winners, ECWC Winners. In '83 I honestly thought that I'd never see anything like that again. New CITY fans will marvel at Gundo's 2 v Villa or Rodri's V Inter and they will be told by their dad about 93;20, Yes I still well up when seeing Sergio's goal again. The MOST important match and goal has to be Dickov's in '99. Where would we be now without his goal?....... Probably the Gorton Sunday League.
I honestly think Everton will be fine and I thought they were in more danger of total collapse last season than this one. I'm sure it's still depressing to support them though. What a lovely video to end the week on. 😂
It's taken Villa 40 years to become hot food again but the journey has been worth it. Amazing video first time here, you are hilarious cheers from New Zealand
I've been an EPL fan for years (West Ham), but have learned so much about English/UK football from watching your channel. Really appreciate your commentary and insight.
Charlton Athletic. So depressing that before we played Reading last weekend, a fan from their podcast told us he feels sorry for our club....and that was before they beat us 2-0 at their place, in front of 3,000 of our away fans. If we were told Basil Fawlty had bought the club we'd be celebrating our most competent owner for about twenty years.
A'reyt Nieve. I wonder where Bradford City came? The first person I met at university on your side of the Pennines was from Reading. It was Alok Sharma, an MP there now. The last time I saw him on TV, he was between the King and PM.
I always think it’s not just the state of the club but life in the actual area that plays into it. As an economically deprived area, just living in Grimsby would be depressing (no offence to anyone who lives there), even the name sounds depressing. It’s Grim! No club in the Premier League is depressing. They get 100s of millions just for being there.
I work for the premier league. I've never been at all interested in football. Thank you for your videos as it makes it interesting and I'm learning about what I should really know already if I'd been interested in football before. Thanks, keep these videos coming 😊
Love love love the channel. I thought Derby County would have made the top 2. Also, just found out I was unsubscribed by CZcams. Might be worth mentioning to see if anyone has been. Love the channel. 🎉
Things are looking up at QPR, we’ve just had a couple of draws on the bounce, happy days. Football depression is all about expectations v reality, our expectations were surgically removed by Les Ferdinand and now we’re just happy to have games to go to and get some fresh air.
Im a Canadian Guy who doesnt even like watching football (im with you guys soccer is ridiclous football is what it should be called, but the NFL literally runs America for a few months every year), I have no idea why your channel got recommended to me, but Ive watched a few of your videos now and your presenting style and interviews are just awesome as any kind of sports fans its like a regular person not some snotty sports journalists. Im now invested in hearing more about league and non league teams in a country im not in and a sport i dont really watch 😂
Isnt the CFL older than the NFL? We have been calling it football for ages now, who cares! Tell Greenland they have to change their name because they arent GREEN! LOL Speaking of depressing countries, that would be Canada these days, and i say this as a person who visited canada a few times and liked it. but it aint the same since Harper was PM!
There is this football club in america that is near me which is quite depressing. They are a club from Birmingham (Alabama) named the Legion. Typically the attendance is around 5,000, but a few years ago the owners made the idiotic mistake of moving from a college team pitch better suited for it's capacity, to this massive place known as Protective stadium which they share with a few gridiron football clubs. Anyway, every time a Birmingham Legion match is streaming, the place looks empty.
I'm a Leeds fan but the emotional rollercoaster I go through, for example first season back in Prem we were flying and next almost relegated then relegated 🤣
I watched and totally agree your findings as my club Reading have just gone through the worst couple of seasons in their history. However they have produced an unbelievable comeback to finish in a secure position and with new ownership on the horizon we feel optimistic, how about an update , love your vids you are very entertaining and knowledgable.
QPR - just 5 wins since Oct 2022, only 2 at home - just 3 wins in the whole of 2023. No goalscorer and a board who doesn't give up a damn. Getting relegated to L1 is a given, even if Marti is showing signs of trying to turn things around - unlike Gareth Ainsworth, who was a total disaster
Gareth was a car crash, but I strongly disagree with you about him not trying, guarantee you he tried harder than anyone else since Holloway to make it work, unfortunately he was a bad fit for our current squad and the way they play.
Hard to disagree with QPR being in that Top 5, given the shambles we've been for the last couple of seasons. Atm the best we can hope for is that we survive in the Championship this season, and an end to the FFP restrictions next season frees up enough cash to refresh the squad. Though until we stop losing £2 million a month, it doesn't matter how wealthy some of our owners are, we aren't anywhere near to heading back to the Prem.
I'm a Sheffield Wednesday supporter who lives in Reading - I just cant escape the misery......
Thoughts and prayers.
Thoughts and prayers.
Have you considered taking up non-league. Get more joy at Dronfield than Hillsborough these days
I don't get it, you went up, just be happy that you got the chance to play in the championship and didn't do well
Misery is been robbed in a play off final with the last kick of the game..
Realistically, no club in the premier league can be considered the most depressing! Clubs like Grimsby, Scunthorpe are head and shoulders above any other club in the depressed tables😁
Yeah, but if they lose on these lists too they can be even more depressed!
And torquay united the lowest team in England who is full time
sorry I meant the world
“Thankfully I’m not a Scunthorpe United fan”. True a few bad seasons, but only 15 years ago were beating Newcastle United in a league match! Grimsby were beating massive teams in my lifetime.
You haven’t a clue on football history,you just focus on limited history. Broaden your understanding on the quickness of success and failure , you have a lot to learn.

Omg I'm so depressed now, and I don't even care about soccer 😂
"Bournemouth don't have any fans to get depressed", is probably the funniest truth you have ever spoken ...Love it Nieve ..😂😂..x
Two words: Oldham Athletic
Only PL team ever to drop out of the football league entirely and haven't achieved a single promotion since they were relegated from the PL 30 years ago...
It's got to be Oldham, that's a really bad run. All the best, from a Notts fan.

What makes a club depressing to support is when you're genuinely worried the current owners might bring about the club's ruin, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Any club that has Ashley as part of the ownership should brace themselves for even worse times ahead. You have my condolences.

Our owner wanted to buy Hull when you were in the PL. He failed the ownership tests yet then was allowed to buy us. You dodged a massive bullet.

A'reyt Nieve. I wonder where Bradford City came?
The first person I met at university on your side of the Pennines was from Reading. It was Alok Sharma, an MP there now. The last time I saw him on TV, he was between the King and PM.
Your low key humor gets me every time!
Wonderful video as always stunt , keep em coming 👍
That bit at 5 mins in - brilliant 😂
That hot food analogy is sublime. Great work.
That look at the Wednesday game ,when there belting over a chant on speakers ,as the real crowds given up🤣🤣
Come to South America someday to see a Copa Libertadores or Brasileirão game.
Holyshite 260k subscribers?! Outstanding. Absolutely well deserved. Love channel/content.
As an Evertonian, was ready to hate on ur opinion of us. but No! Absolutely spot on appraisal. Nice vid !
The existential crisis at the Wednesday match haha!
I am American. If your club is in the Premier league, then you don’t have anything to complain or be depressed about. End of story.
Football and life relate because we struggle together and relate to the depressing moments our clubs go through
fantasstic result for your boys yesterday congratlations hope yoy was there to see it
you are really hilarious and watching you is a lot of fun. A fan from Nigeria. we are winning the Afcon
Again an outstandig Video, thanks much 👍
I always think it’s not just the state of the club but life in the actual area that plays into it. As an economically deprived area,
just living in Grimsby would be depressing (no offence to anyone who lives there), even the name sounds depressing. It’s Grim! No club in the Premier League is depressing. They get 100s of millions just for being there.
I work for the premier league. I've never been at all interested in football. Thank you for your videos as it makes it interesting and I'm learning about what I should really know already if I'd been interested in football before. Thanks, keep these videos coming 😊
Working in footy ...not intrested in footy 😮
Its quite common to find engineers that don't care about cars, scientists who don't care about science and so on... 😂
That explains a lot
Love love love the channel. I thought Derby County would have made the top 2.
Also, just found out I was unsubscribed by CZcams. Might be worth mentioning to see if anyone has been.
Love the channel. 🎉
Massive like to this video just because you played some seconds of Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne". :')
This makes me so happy. Bloody love Leonard Cohen
Glad to know! He was awesome. :D @@stuntpeggnieve
Big up from the US! This is hilarious
"Bournemouth don't have any fans" I have you know there at at least 2 of us
I love the channel. No drama, just football.
Try being a Havant & Waterlooville fan this season, 1 win all season, bottom of the NLS and we were touted for a top 7 finish before the season began…
omfg your face during the "wednesday" rally 🤣.... it just kept going.
Even the idea of going to Grimsby is depressing
Things are looking up at QPR, we’ve just had a couple of draws on the bounce, happy days. Football depression is all about expectations v reality, our expectations were surgically removed by Les Ferdinand and now we’re just happy to have games to go to and get some fresh air.
Hi Miss Napoli. It's been a while since I've 'popped over'. It's nice to see that you are looking well.
you should come to canada and cover the canadian premier league. would be interested to see your take on it.
Luton Town has always been amazing, never boring. Last 10 years have been incredible
Im a Canadian Guy who doesnt even like watching football (im with you guys soccer is ridiclous football is what it should be called, but the NFL literally runs America for a few months every year), I have no idea why your channel got recommended to me, but Ive watched a few of your videos now and your presenting style and interviews are just awesome as any kind of sports fans its like a regular person not some snotty sports journalists. Im now invested in hearing more about league and non league teams in a country im not in and a sport i dont really watch 😂
Isnt the CFL older than the NFL? We have been calling it football for ages now, who cares! Tell Greenland they have to change their name because they arent GREEN! LOL Speaking of depressing countries, that would be Canada these days, and i say this as a person who visited canada a few times and liked it. but it aint the same since Harper was PM!
The pea soup analogy 😂
Nice turn of phrase, "a soulless bowl of misery." I love your style.
You're like Philomena Cunk but for Football and i really appreciate that :)
Possibly the best comment I’ve ever had!
@@stuntpeggnieve I'm honored!
There is this football club in america that is near me which is quite depressing. They are a club from Birmingham (Alabama) named the Legion. Typically the attendance is around 5,000, but a few years ago the owners made the idiotic mistake of moving from a college team pitch better suited for it's capacity, to this massive place known as Protective stadium which they share with a few gridiron football clubs. Anyway, every time a Birmingham Legion match is streaming, the place looks empty.
The classic UK club to make the same mistake )or rather their owner did) were Darlington. Built a 28000 seater stadium for 1-2000 crowds.
On a happier note, heard you on the Sara Cox show on radio 2. Very impressive knowledge of music 🥳
I'm a Leeds fan but the emotional rollercoaster I go through, for example first season back in Prem we were flying and next almost relegated then relegated 🤣
Thought you might have been at Bolton yesterday. Are you not a Bolton fan anymore?
Before Steve Cooper came in at Forest, we were in the Mariana Trench. Hughton nearly murdered our hope
‘The club not the day’ hah😂😂😊
How have you never been picked up by Sky sports as a presenter?, the content you put out is brilliant.....well done.
She hasn't been picked up because her content is brilliant. Sky doesn't do quality content.
Well done on Radio 2 miss Stuntpegg Did you get your sara Cox show mug?
That food tangent made me hungry.
Its very depressing, the morning after the Gnacho goal
I used your link to buy a couple of shirts. When I saw they had Highlanders and Dynamos shirts I had to get them.
I watched and totally agree your findings as my club Reading have just gone through the worst couple of seasons in their history. However they have produced an unbelievable comeback to finish in a secure position and with new ownership on the horizon we feel optimistic, how about an update , love your vids you are very entertaining and knowledgable.
'It's hard to believe Manchester United won this match. Because they didn't.' Temporarily possessed by the spirit of Philomena Crunk there?
Well this is odd. I have no interest in soccer but stumbled upon your videos and really like them!
QPR - just 5 wins since Oct 2022, only 2 at home - just 3 wins in the whole of 2023.
No goalscorer and a board who doesn't give up a damn.
Getting relegated to L1 is a given, even if Marti is showing signs of trying to turn things around - unlike Gareth Ainsworth, who was a total disaster
Gareth was a car crash, but I strongly disagree with you about him not trying, guarantee you he tried harder than anyone else since Holloway to make it work, unfortunately he was a bad fit for our current squad and the way they play.
Hard to disagree with QPR being in that Top 5, given the shambles we've been for the last couple of seasons. Atm the best we can hope for is that we survive in the Championship this season, and an end to the FFP restrictions next season frees up enough cash to refresh the squad. Though until we stop losing £2 million a month, it doesn't matter how wealthy some of our owners are, we aren't anywhere near to heading back to the Prem.
In Marti we trust. Win % = 0% but we'll fix that tomorrow night.
Another banger Pegg!
