I'm shocked the "Shame of Manchester" isn't included. Maybe because it was in my random FIFA Manager save in like 2034 but still. 1-1 at half time, however United got 3 red cards and we (AFC Wimbledon) won 1-10. United actually still won the league but actually only conceeded 37 goals all season.
@@jdlztstldypdypdoyody While not Premier League this is far from my biggest win, a 16-0 with SB Esbjerg v Sönderjysk in a season we won all 46 games (it was a fun holiday save where I combined the 12 teams of the danish first + 12 teams of the danish 2nd division).
@@HITCSevens You also forgot Liverpool losing 0-6 to Lille in the 2025 Europa League quarter finals second leg, where former Arsenal flop Nicolas Pepe scored four goals, and Takumi Minamino scored one and assisted three against his former team 😂😂😂
as a Southampton supporter i gotta say the Leicester 9-0 was more humiliating. at MU we had a squad decimated w injuries and even appealed to have the game postponed, which was denied. in the 1st or 2nd minute, an academy player making his debut got a deserved straight red which doomed us there. later on in the match Bednarek was given a wrongful red card (i say this because the red was later rescinded) and the match wouldnt have been 9-0 w out that. obviously 6 or 7 nil is still a disgrace but there were multiple factors outside of So'ton's control that contributed to the 2nd 9-0. so because of that Leicester was far more humiliating
I believe that, had that Man United one happened during the COVID era and been because of a breakout, it *would* have been postponed, and Hassenhüttl even called it out after a Newcastle game got postponed for a similar reason. The bench was basically a seemingly-washed Fraser Forster, Nathan Redmond, and a bunch of guys who are League One/League Two quality
@@valpix7007 yea i was going to mention that but the comment was way too long so i deleted that part. the Newcastle replay happened after January so they got to use their January transfers even though the original game was to be played before January. of course Guimaraes scored one of their goals as well
As a Southampton fan, the Man Utd loss was funnier. I just sat staring at my screen laughing to myself like a maniac. The biggest joke of all is that we've been in the EPL since 2012.
James, you might recall for the United game half of our youth team were on the pitch for various reasons, so it was - literally - men against boys. 9-0 was hardly a surprise that night. Leicester was a catastrophe, United was just a bad night at the office to write off and move ahead from. Personally, losing 4-1 at home to them down the road in the FA Cup...that was embarrassing. Yes, they were still in the Premier League at the time, but they were a League Two side in all but name...
Honorable mentions for man utd: ZTE 1-0 Man Utd (2002) Southend United 1-0 Man Utd (2006) MK Dons 4-0 Man Utd (2014) Astana 2-1 Man Utd (2019) Istanbul 2-1 Man Utd (2020) Brentford 4-0 Man Utd (2022)
For me my own team Glentoran FC's most humiliating defeat was a 5th round Irish cup loss to Newington Youth Club at home. We lost 1-0 and it was a true David Vs Goliath game. Glentoran are one of the biggest and most successful clubs in Northern Ireland and Newington were a amateur club at the time. By far the darkest day in the club's history. Going out at the first hurdle in a competition we would have expected to make the final
Man Utds most humiliating defeats were the 5-0 and 4-0 vs Liverpool and Brentford respectively it wasn't simply the scorelines but the manner of the defeats in those games no heart and no spirit but complete capitulation especially against Liverpool who are their main rivals but that Brentford defeat earlier this season has actually managed to kick start them into life and they have won all 3 matches since then including against Liverpool and their defense also looks much more solid clearly Ten Hag's strick training routine after that Brentford humiliation has clearly worked wonders.
@@fxtballshorts1371 eh that defeat did look like coming for us. Ole was under massive pressure and the moment Maguire picked up the red card, it all went downhill from that match. However it did result to Ole getting the sack so that was a positive!
As an Everton fan would like to add context to that Villareal CL qualifier loss - that disallowed Ferguson goal was probably the most costly incorrect refereeing decision of all time, had it counted the game would have gone to ET while we were in the ascendancy, and given how desperately poor the club was at the time the CL group stage money could have changed everything. Maybe a good video idea (for most impactful refereeing decision for each PL club) if it's not already done?
I think Villarreal got the to semi finals of the champions League that year too. Only narrowly being beaten by Arsenal over 2 legs. Typical Everton and bad luck. We are cursed 🤣
Now i might be biased but check out Dinamo Bucharest vs Marseille later in that Euro Cup season if you want to take a look at one of the most incorrect refereeing decision of all time. Literally the ref blew the final whistle while a Dinamo player's shot was going in the net (in defence of the referee he turned his back around)
As an Everton fan myself too, I thought of five humiliating defeats before watching and the Dynamo game didn't figure. I would have picked losing 0-4 to Liverpool in 1954 in the F A cup as the Reds were in the Second Division at the time. Shrewsbury in the cup was my second choice, 4-10 in Bill Nicholsons first game in charge of Tottenham at 3rd, one of the many heavy drubbings to Arsenal in the early 2000s [think there were three six/seven goal spankings in the space of four/five years] at 4th, and if picking a European game, Dunfirmline in 1962. But I think that's why a fan of each team who knows their club's full history should have been asked.
I'm a Harlow native and that Leicester game is still our greatest achievement. We still jointly hold the record for the longest FA Cup run, in terms of number of rounds competed in: we went from the preliminary round all the way through to the 4th Round proper that year.
As a Leeds fan, the 2-1 defeat to Bradford in 2014 goes down as one of the more embarrassing defeats. It was just after Cellino took over as owner and hired a PE teacher as head coach, signed dozens of unknown donkeys from the Italian second division and then turned up at our neighbours and were utterly diabolical. It was a symbol of the disaster and chaos that surrounded us for that period.
that was a fun day too the be fair...billy knott with a brilliant strike and then james hanson with a shit header that found a way.....oh fuck it was a laugh...cant remember the leeds managers name but they got him straight from non league...fuckin wankers set the ive cream truck on fire at odsal the year after the fire at vp....dirty fucking scummy leeds
I think 1-2 in Cardiff in 2002, 1-6 in Portsmouth in 2003, 1-5 in Luton in 2006, and 0-1 in Cheltenham in 2007 despite pounding them, and due to a howler, were the worst for Leeds. The first 3 results were ones that signalled their decline. With Everton, I could consider the 2-5 loss to Watford as it destroyed their ambition for many months, even though, even without his status as a Liverpool legend, his confrontational and pragmatic attitude, and his tepid record at his teams since the start of 2009, meant Benitez was never the right boss for Everton, whereas Lampard is and is creating a clear DNA. And with Arsenal, losing the LC final to Birmingham, who we beat home and away in the league and haven’t met since, or the loss to Chelsea in the EL final, could also count, but like with Everton, and the Leeds loss to Histon mentioned in the video, allowed a rebuild
As a Chelsea fan (whilst being one for just 21 years), I'd say the most humiliating defeats in my book were the 2-4 home loss against Bradford and the 6-0 shitshow against Man City. All other defeats could be justified, but these two really hurt.
I'm still saying our 6-0 beating by QPR in 1986 during the "shit years". I've also been a Chelsea fan before Roman Abramovich came, having grown up in the 90s. Most of my family are Chelsea through and through too 💙🤍 #KTBFFH x
This is there the Eibar losing the tiebreaker for 16th and 17th in 2014/15 but staying up because Elche briefly was bankrupt and as a result was relegated. More surprisingly, Elche returned back to La Liga in the season Eibar was relegated 6 seasons later.
i know people won't like it, but Real Madrid's run to the Champions League final last season wasn't really deserved. Ok, they have the best player in the world at the moment, they are mentally strong, they have lots of luck, but apart from that, they got dominated from every single club they faced in the knockout round, including the final.
I was expecting Aston Villa 7-2 Liverpool to make it tbh. Liverpool had a much better team against a Villa side who almost got relegated the season before
No, being completely honest, the Villa result barely registered. The 6-1 loss to Stoke was far more embarrassing. I knew it would be either that or losing on penalties at home to Northampton.
Shoutout to Sunderland, yes we aren't Premier league anymore but we lost 8-0 to Southampton in the Premier league including a genuine all-time great own goal volleyed in from 30yards. Santiago Vergini take a bow
On that Leeds defeat, it’s worth noting that Histon got relegated out of the Northern Premier League Division One last season and are now just the eight divisions below Leeds United and the Premier League.
Can't agree with the Brighton pick. I think most of us old enough to remember it would always pick the time that we had Brian Clough as manager and managed to lose 4-0 at home to Walton and Hersham. Losing to 9 man Walsall was bad, but sneaky 1-0 wins happen against the odds all the time. Losing 4-0 at home to an Isthmian League team is much rarer and more painful.
Chelsea's 6-0 defeat to QPR on 31st March 1986 was our worst-ever, I'd say. We finished 6th that year (QPR were 13th), but we were also relegated two seasons after. This time period has often been referred to as "the shit years" for good reason. I've been a Chelsea girl my whole life, but was lucky enough to have been born just after 💙🤍 #KTBFFH
View from a Spurs fan's eyes - lasagnegate was more scandalous than humiliating because from our point of view there was such a strong sense of injustice which outweighed the humiliation. Saying that, I can see from the point of view of opposing fans that it provided great ammunition for them to make us feel humiliated by it. Personally, I feel we have spoiled you for choice but the one performance which will always give me nightmares is the 2:1 Europa League defeat to Slovenian minnows NS Mura. To me that felt like I'd just watched England lose to San Marino or something. All about perspective though. Love your work
I think the 1-5 defeat to Newcastle was most embarassing, getting humiliated by a team that's already RELEGATED, and forever being laughed at for "finishing third in a two horse race" 😅😅
@@LuigiLuigi728 Yeah. All season, Newcastle seemed to not care. Then, suddenly, against Spurs, the likes of Janmaat, Sissoko, and Wijnaldum played like they were possessed by the spirit of prime Eusébio. Like, where was that fight the rest of the season?
Everton's most embarrassing defeat in recent years is easily our 1-0 defeat to Liverpool's kids in the FA cup. However a defeat that hurt older fans the most was the 1-0 defeat to Oxford in 85/86. Which gave the Liverpool the advantage in the title race with a couple of games to go which they of course took.
There have been heavier defeats with more lopsided scorelines, but Liverpool beating Villa 6-0 is probably the worst performance I have ever seen. The Kolo Toure goal to make it 6-0 was so astoundingly bad.
Got to say, a little relieved the infamous astra goo goo name was not uttered here... Getting knocked out not once but twice to romanian minnows in successive seasons has left West Ham fans shaking in their boots ever since
Another great video mate! While watching this I thought of a possible idea for a video. The 7 teams that have conceded the most goals in total in the PL. Obviously some teams have played a hell of a lot more games than others but I’m sure a man of your skills could come up with some rules to sort it haha.
As a posh fan I was at that 7-0 game against Brentford. If you’d have asked at the time which team would now be in the prem and who would’ve sold Toney to who, there was only one answer. It was the wrong one.
As a Villa fan, the 3-0 home defeat to Birmingham City in the Prem was the most humiliating. And getting dicked 6-0 by Southampton the season before we got relegated was dreadful too. I remember I had to go to the hospital to get some stitches removed after a surgery at that time - and I went to the hospital before the end of the match because I'd rather suffer physical pain than watch any more of that match. Getting thrashed by a better team can happen even when you're playing well. But I understand your choice, especially with the Lescott narrative.
I’d still go with the Liverpool game mainly because we had picked up 2 win and 2 draws in the previous 5 games and starting to get abit of hope then that hope was ripped away.
As a Brazilian, It's really interesting to get to know some of the lowest moments in Premier League clubs histories. Around here, the greatest "vexames" (embarrasment, shame) usually are - as Alfie described in a Lot of his choices - surrounded by a larger context of a campaign, rivalry, an entire club period and/or even "off-pitch" aspects, such as players, directors, chairmen actions and statements. A lot of times, It's not only the poorest performance or the heaviest scoreline that defines the greatest humiliation. It can be a specific match that "encapsulates and symbolizes" a relagation Season of a big club, for example. Nevertheless, another really fine video!
As a Newcastle fan, I think we spoil people looking for our worst ever result. Even among those not cited were 6-0 to Liverpool after Suarez got banned, a 5-1 at Chelsea in their odd 15/16 meltdown season, losing home and away to a relegated Blackburn in the Championship, losing at Scunthorpe in a different Championship stint, being the first team in the season before last to lose to Sheffield United, losing a must win game at an already relegated QPR and that 3-0 loss to Aston Villa when Dyer and Bowyer got a bit distracted. Though makes a change for it not be that game at Hereford
The Villa game was more embarrassing, Southend is not as bad as Cambridge, Oxford and Stevenage. I would go with the last Sunderland game, 6 in a row. Oh Newcastle have more money than Man City
As a WBA fan, smashing Wolves 5-1 was incredibly satisfying, I think there was a riot in Wolverhampton town centre afterwards, it must have been horrible to be on the other end of that. We maybe in a lower league now but we have had it over them for so long in the derby. We've only lost to them 3 times since 1997, winning 13 in the process including a very memorable 3-0 win in the FA Cup where we were given their seats in exchange for Wolves fans getting a pie and pint voucher. In terms of our own most embarrassing defeat there have been a few in my lifetime, including a few thrashings in the prem, ones that stand out are losing 6-0 and 5-0 to liverpool at home, but I think losing to Wimbledon 1-0 in 2004 is one that has stuck in my mind. They had just moved to Milton Keynes and finished bottom that season. They only bought about a 100 fans and still managed to beat us. Very depressing game all round.
The 6-1 loss to City honestly wasn't that bad of a performance. Utd were down to 10 men for most of the 2nd half and we're only losing 3-1 in the 88th minute and capitulated in injury time The 5-0 to Liverpool last season was way more humiliating, together with the 4-0 to Everton in 2018/19, 4-0 to MK Dons and even the 2-2 draw with Fulham in 13/14 (the one where we made 81 crosses)
I think when compiling such a list, it might help to consider what the result means to the winning side. If you're playing Liverpool or Manchester United, and you've got a bad day while they've got a great one, then conceding 6 to 8 goals can happen. But to them, this'll be merely a side note in their history, On the other hand "remember when we won despite being two men down after half an hour?" is the stuff of legends, and will probably get talked about for decades to come among fans of that club - especially if they're not regularly winning any trophies
From someone who saw both legs of the Arsenal-Bayern match, I would say that was just as embarrassing for Arsenal. Losing 10-2 over two legs is brutal, but as I am a Bayern fan, I laughed my ass off.
For me, Spurs losing to Dynamo Zagreb while having a 2 goal lead and Zagreb having their manager recently taken to prison before the second leg is up there as most embarrassing.
I feel Newcastle's 3-0 loss to Sunderland deserves an honourable mention. Sunderland hadn't won any of their first 10 games and were bottom of the table. Sunderland had won their previous 4 meetings as well. That result ended up making a difference in Newcastle's relegation that season
As a forest fan i think our 4-1 defeat to stoke is probably one of our most humiliating defeats as it was a stoke team with nothing to play for we only had to draw to get play offs and if we lost we could of still got play offs if we didn’t lose by a lot of goals but we still bottled it
@@georgethesticks 5-0 loss to derby ? Yes, humiliating as losing a derby day like that is bad but I don’t think it comes close to our capitulation against stoke. Also that 5-0 loss was a long time ago and in recent years forest have Been the better team against derby as they haven’t beaten us in 10 games I believe
Losing 6-1 to City was bad but considering we were down to 10 men and the score 3-1 going in to injury time I wouldn't put it on the same level as Liverpool last season x2 or Brentford this season where they actually stopped playing out of pity for United
As a Burnley fan, I’d say the most humiliating defeat I’ve seen in my lifetime is the 1-0 home defeat in the FA Cup in 2017 to then non league Lincoln. We were terrible that day, to say we were a premier league side as well!
When did Everton overtake Liverpool as Englands dominant force. I seem to remember either side of their two league triumphs Liverpool winning the other 3 titles and a European cup and the double in 86 between there 2 league titles in that period. Some dominance
as a bournemouth fan i honestly think losing 1-0 away at blyth spartans in an fa cup replay was our most humiliating defeat. probably the absolute lowest point in the clubs history as we were still on minus points in december and eddie howe hadnt become our manager yet. it felt like the final death knell of our club at the time
You could do a 25 minute video on Leeds' most humiliating defeats alone. Also worth mentioning we made two playoff finals in our time outside the top flight and lost 3-0 to a poor Watford side and 1-0 to Doncaster. Don't even get started on the time we became the first club to fail to reach a Championship playoff final after winning the first leg away from home in 2019.
I mean man u losing to leeds at old Trafford given the rivalry and the fact leeds were in league 1 and fergie still at the helm surely deserved an honorable mention for man u
As a spurs fan. I remember being live on sky. The 1-0 defeat to Grimsby town in the second round of the League cup. Or city's 4-3 come back in the FA cup at White Hart lane depsite them being down to ten men.
Haven't made any suggestions in some time. So day 1: The biggest wins in every european top flight (Athletic Bilbio 12-1 FC Barcelona; Gladbach 12-0 Dortmund; Ajax 13-0 VVV Venlo).
I was at Brentford's 7-0 loss at Peterborough in 2007. The only consolation was that I lost count and left the stadium thinking it was 8-0! Not sure why the thumbnail picture is of Deon Burton from the 2004/05 season though, when he'd left more than 2 years before that Peterborough game!
Great video! Though if it was made today, Man U's might now be updated to losing 7-0 to Liverpool. Man Utd went into that game sitting 3rd in the table, off the back of a League Cup triumph at Wembley against a much improved Newcastle Utd, as well as beating Barcelona 2-1 in the Europa League. Liverpool meanwhile were sat 6th, and in the build-up to this game, had just lost 5-2 at home to Real Madrid, drew 0-0 to Crystal Palace, and struggled to beat Wolves 2-0. In a game that should have seen Man Utd in full confidence, they actually started the game well, but utterly capitulated following a Cody Gakpo goal just before half-time.
I still think of the first weekend of the 92/93 season.....first weekend living in Australia, and you had to ring a phone line for the results in those days.....first post relegation season, away to Raith Rovers.....have to sit on the phone wading through Conference scores etc....and after a long wait on comes a cheery voice to say "Raith Rovers SEVEN.....(pause).....THATS SEVEN!!!!!!!!, St Mirren 0....." - not a good day.....
Thanks for not mentioning the back-to-back trouncings by Bayern over Arsenal, battering us 5-1 twice to give them a 10-2 win on aggregate! Oh, how we miss the CL!
7:34 Big ups for the Kingstonian shout out. Grew up there. Kings Meadow was at the end of my road. Used to jump the fence with my mates on Friday night to play on the pitch. Floodlights from the athletes track next door lit the pitch.
The 1-0 loss that Man Utd got against Leeds in 2010 during the FA cup was their most humiliating. We were in league one at the time and they expected to beat us but then Jermaine Beckford, our best player at the time, went and scored. They were not happy about losing to their rival!
As a Norwich fan some would say the 7-1 to Colchester, however the FA cup defeat 1-0 to Luton is probably worse, due to our relative league positions at the time....
Regarding Forest, I'd say the most embarrassing result in my lifetime was losing 3-2 to Woking away in the 1st round of the LDV Vans trophy in 2005. I went to that game as I live near Woking but support Forest. That is the most embarrassing along with the 8-1 defeat to Man Utd in 1999 (ironically we've not played Man Utd in ANY competition since that game)
Well, that's about to change (the haven't played United in any competition since the 8-1 part). You're scheduled to play them at Old Trafford in December.
Hi Alfie! You just mentioned my boyhood club in here for the first time I belive, in the name if Dinamo Bucharest and I know now it’s the best time for me to request a What on earth is going on (which by the way is one of the best series on youtube) video on them. We just got relegated for the first time in all club’s history and the things are not going well at all. I truly appreciate all of your efforts and I will be more than happier if you will consider this idea. Hope you enjoy your day, Alfie!
Manchester City's lowest point was York City away in the 98/99 season that left City 13th in the third tier table right before the Christmas break. "York away" is now part of club lore with many claiming that "they were there" as part of their proof of their fealty to the blues. Had City not managed to turn things around in the second half of the season and won that dramatic playoff to secure promotion, it is very conceivable that City would have never recovered and gone into administration or worse and they would have not been in position to become what they have become since the UAE takeover.
I know I'm late to reply to your comment. I don't know if you're a Manchester City fan or not, but when I did the research about the final day of the 1998/99 Division Two season, Manchester City actually beat York City 4-0 to indirectly send the Yorkshire club down to the 4th tier of English football.
As a real fans of a team, we never cease our support Alfie, even on the darkest days. My core team is my national team Norway, and we have just been through a 15 years of dark era. In the 3 years I refer to as "the darkest days", we lost 1-0 at home against Moldova and were the first team in many years to concede a goal at home against San Marino. Yes, I know a thing or two about feeling humiliated. But still the support and love for our team never cease, even though I some times feel that this sport going to be the main reason of an early grave. it is worth it though in the end, for the good moments. :)
My local team worksop town managed to scrape a 0-0 draw vs Leicester in the fa cup whilst being in the 9th divison. We wont talk of the replay though and end the story here.
IMO, Liverpools most embarrassing defeat surely has to be their 1-0 1998 FA Cup Final defeat to Wimbledon. Back then nobody gave Wimbledon a chance in hell, some papers even had them losing double digits in the final. Liverpool being the team of the 80's and as dominant as you can imagine they thought Wimbledon in the final would be a stroll in the park. All this just for Wimbledon to go 1-0 up and Dave Beasant becoming the first goalkeeper to save a penalty in an FA Cup final practically winning the cup for a side who had been a non-league club no more than 12 years prior.
One other Villa defeat that deserved a shout is Bradford 3 Villa in the 2013 League Cup semifinal first leg. Maybe that one game wasn’t humiliating enough, Villa could only win the home leg 2-1, and a Premier League losing over two legs to a side in League 2 is certainly humiliating. Especially a big club that hasn’t won a trophy since 1996.
As an Ipswich fan, the nine nil at old trafford still gives me nightmares. But we smashed the same team 6-0 at Portman Road in 1980, so there is a massive cushion of comfort in that.
As a Peterborough United fan, it pleases me greatly to see little old us feature twice in a video about humiliating defeats for current Premier League teams 😆
I would have picked the 4-0 FA Cup Final defeat by Man Utd for Chelsea. Even though we finished 14th that year, we beat League Champions Man Utd 1-0 home and away that year, and it was expected to be a very close game. To be beaten so comprehensively in arguably the biggest English game of the season (The FA Cup was still considered the banner competition back then) was a massive blow for Chelsea (and me as a 17 year old watching my team in their first FA Cup Final of my lifetime).
I think the most relelvant topics in football right now are; Did Barcelona hire thugs to slap around Aubameyang so they don't have to pull anymore levers? And are witches a thing in football?
Personally, while the 6-1 home defeat to City is inescapable and cemented a major paradigm shift in the English game, I think the 5-0 home defeat to Liverpool felt much, much worse considering the progress we were making under Ole prior to that point. It also sent me into a depression personally, which the City game did not, so take your pick I guess lol
What a game the 8-2 against Arsenal was. Im a die hard United fan from Sweden. I bought a ticket to that game online and was told to pick it up at some agent in Manchester. I was meant to pick up by 1pm on the Saturday before the game. After waiting until 9am for a friend who was meant to come from Birmingham and drive me to Manchester i ended up taking a train. When i got to Manchester it turned out i had to take a tram to the agent. By the time i got of the tram, it was almost 1pm and i was rushing. I ran out the tram looking down at the papper with the address to the agent when i suddenly felt a sharp pain to my head. It turned out i had ran into a pole and split my eyebrow open. With blood gushing down my face i continued to run to the agent only to find it was closed by the time i got there. Dissapointed and in pain, i figured that if i go to Old trafford the club would give me a ticket. Only to be told that they didn’t recognize the agent that had sold me the ticket and that it was fake. I pleaded with them and told them that i was a die-hard fan from Sweden, only to be told that ”this happens all the time” 😤 Dissapointed and in pain, i angrily walked out and wondered around Old trafford in a daze, crying and blood running down my face because it was raining by then. After an hr or so, while standing next to the holy trinity, i was approached by a man. After asking me what was wrong and me telling him, he asked me how much money i had on me. I had more, but told him i had sixty pounds left on more. Then he told me he had a ticket in the away section that he could sell me for that. After buying the ticket from him, he told me to go to the hospital because of my sore (i hadn’t been aware it was that bad). You can imagine how surprised i was when a woman walked into the waiting room at the hospital and presented herself as the sister of the man who had sold me the ticket. Her brother had told her the story and she had come to check on me. She gave me her number and told me to call her when i was done. I called her and she came and picked me up and drove me to her house where me, her 80 yr old mother and her had dinner. After dinner me and her brother hung out and it turned out he was a die hard fan who had been at a couple of CL finals. He offered me to sleep over but i declined because i had booked a room by a pub close to Old trafford. Later that night we went out and had some drinks before calling it a night. The next day i watched the game and couldn’t believe my eyes. Unfortunately i couldn’t celebrate the goals because i was with the arsenal fans😂 What a memory, this video just reminded me of that day. But also how total strangers can be so kind and thoughtful. It’s a shame there are not more people like that. Unfortunately i lost my phone and contact with that guy, but wish i could find him somehow and invite him to 🇸🇪
Bournemouth's 9-0 defeat to Liverpool was their joint worst loss. In December 1982 they also lost 9-0 to my team Lincoln in what is now League One in what was Harry Redknapp's first game in charge fir the Cherries. Bournemouth's keeper was actually man of the match as it could have been well into double figures.
It goes back to 1908-and even though they won the league that season-I would imagine Newcastle United's NINE-one HOME defeat to Sunderland still haunts St James Park !
as a bristol rovers fan, gutted not feature thought we might have been 8-2 vs brighton in 73...i think a game which made brian clough hate us for the rest of his life !!
As a Reading fan, you beating us 6-0 at our ground in 2000 was arguably our most humiliating result. We ended up signing Jamie Cureton who scored 4 of those goals that game shortly afterwards who went on to become a Reading legend
Nah the Southampton 9-0 wasn't the most humiliating. 2 red cards, (the first after 2 minutes) covid outbreak meaning 2 youth team players with less than 5 starts between them had to play. The real humiliating defeat was back in the league cup in 1980. Southampton were 2nd in the table(finished 6th), had 5 internationals playing, had won the first leg 4-0 against a team in the division below. Even rested European footballer of the year Kevin Keegan. Promptly lost 7-1. I was there, sadly.
Southampton fans should look away now.
Yes mate. I will be watching this while covering my eyes.

Admittedly, this was a grave oversight on my part.

@@jdlztstldypdypdoyody While not Premier League this is far from my biggest win, a 16-0 with SB Esbjerg v Sönderjysk in a season we won all 46 games (it was a fun holiday save where I combined the 12 teams of the danish first + 12 teams of the danish 2nd division).

@@HITCSevens You also forgot Liverpool losing 0-6 to Lille in the 2025 Europa League quarter finals second leg, where former Arsenal flop Nicolas Pepe scored four goals, and Takumi Minamino scored one and assisted three against his former team 😂😂😂
As a Norwich fan, losing 1-7 at home to Colchester in 2009 would probably be our most humiliating defeat
Most humiliating defeat for you finding out your uncle is pegging your mum
It isn't the 6-0 loss at Fulham in 2005 on the last day to get relegated?
@@TrocarSlushWeasel comes close but Colchester are smaller
7-0 against Chelsea who dint have a striker on the pitch and being the early kick-off was embarrassing
@@Pepepepesjdje yeah that's true enough😂
as a Southampton supporter i gotta say the Leicester 9-0 was more humiliating. at MU we had a squad decimated w injuries and even appealed to have the game postponed, which was denied. in the 1st or 2nd minute, an academy player making his debut got a deserved straight red which doomed us there. later on in the match Bednarek was given a wrongful red card (i say this because the red was later rescinded) and the match wouldnt have been 9-0 w out that. obviously 6 or 7 nil is still a disgrace but there were multiple factors outside of So'ton's control that contributed to the 2nd 9-0. so because of that Leicester was far more humiliating
Exactly; I wouldn’t be surprised if they sacked Hassenhütl if the second 9-0 had come in similar circumstances to the first
I believe that, had that Man United one happened during the COVID era and been because of a breakout, it *would* have been postponed, and Hassenhüttl even called it out after a Newcastle game got postponed for a similar reason.
The bench was basically a seemingly-washed Fraser Forster, Nathan Redmond, and a bunch of guys who are League One/League Two quality
@@valpix7007 yea i was going to mention that but the comment was way too long so i deleted that part. the Newcastle replay happened after January so they got to use their January transfers even though the original game was to be played before January. of course Guimaraes scored one of their goals as well
Wasn't the Leicester game in Southampton as well, whereas the Man U game was at Old Trafford. Losing 9-0 at home is worse than doing so away, I think
I think Man United's 4-0 loss to MK Dons is little bit more humiliating.
Can't believe it wasn't even mentioned. Will Grigg bagging 2 against them was embarrassing

As a Southampton fan, the Man Utd loss was funnier. I just sat staring at my screen laughing to myself like a maniac. The biggest joke of all is that we've been in the EPL since 2012.
sounds like being a Southampton fan makes you have a psychotic break
@@joniii_ Yes.
James, you might recall for the United game half of our youth team were on the pitch for various reasons, so it was - literally - men against boys. 9-0 was hardly a surprise that night. Leicester was a catastrophe, United was just a bad night at the office to write off and move ahead from. Personally, losing 4-1 at home to them down the road in the FA Cup...that was embarrassing. Yes, they were still in the Premier League at the time, but they were a League Two side in all but name...
@@danielkarmy4893 yeah, Leicester was worse in my opinion, but man Utd was funnier

As a Bournemouth supporter I'm glad you didn't bring up the FA Cup defeat to Boreham Wood. That was frustrating!
For me my own team Glentoran FC's most humiliating defeat was a 5th round Irish cup loss to Newington Youth Club at home. We lost 1-0 and it was a true David Vs Goliath game. Glentoran are one of the biggest and most successful clubs in Northern Ireland and Newington were a amateur club at the time. By far the darkest day in the club's history. Going out at the first hurdle in a competition we would have expected to make the final

@@Will-gg1zr Exactly. Adrian is terrible.
was it humiliating? I just found it really funny, because it was such a random scoreline hahaha, but I guess for Liverpool fans it must have been
Man Utds most humiliating defeats were the 5-0 and 4-0 vs Liverpool and Brentford respectively it wasn't simply the scorelines but the manner of the defeats in those games no heart and no spirit but complete capitulation especially against Liverpool who are their main rivals but that Brentford defeat earlier this season has actually managed to kick start them into life and they have won all 3 matches since then including against Liverpool and their defense also looks much more solid clearly Ten Hag's strick training routine after that Brentford humiliation has clearly worked wonders.
what about Watford last season
@@fxtballshorts1371 eh that defeat did look like coming for us. Ole was under massive pressure and the moment Maguire picked up the red card, it all went downhill from that match. However it did result to Ole getting the sack so that was a positive!
The defeat to MK Dons in the League Cup is also a surprise omission.
6-1 was worse
@@MikoyanGurevichMiG21 I thought the same. It was embarrassing
As an Everton fan would like to add context to that Villareal CL qualifier loss - that disallowed Ferguson goal was probably the most costly incorrect refereeing decision of all time, had it counted the game would have gone to ET while we were in the ascendancy, and given how desperately poor the club was at the time the CL group stage money could have changed everything. Maybe a good video idea (for most impactful refereeing decision for each PL club) if it's not already done?
I think Villarreal got the to semi finals of the champions League that year too. Only narrowly being beaten by Arsenal over 2 legs. Typical Everton and bad luck. We are cursed 🤣
Now i might be biased but check out Dinamo Bucharest vs Marseille later in that Euro Cup season if you want to take a look at one of the most incorrect refereeing decision of all time. Literally the ref blew the final whistle while a Dinamo player's shot was going in the net (in defence of the referee he turned his back around)
As an Everton fan myself too, I thought of five humiliating defeats before watching and the Dynamo game didn't figure. I would have picked losing 0-4 to Liverpool in 1954 in the F A cup as the Reds were in the Second Division at the time. Shrewsbury in the cup was my second choice, 4-10 in Bill Nicholsons first game in charge of Tottenham at 3rd, one of the many heavy drubbings to Arsenal in the early 2000s [think there were three six/seven goal spankings in the space of four/five years] at 4th, and if picking a European game, Dunfirmline in 1962. But I think that's why a fan of each team who knows their club's full history should have been asked.
I'm a Harlow native and that Leicester game is still our greatest achievement. We still jointly hold the record for the longest FA Cup run, in terms of number of rounds competed in: we went from the preliminary round all the way through to the 4th Round proper that year.
As a Spurs fan the most embarrasing game for me, was when we were 3-0 up against 10 man, Manchester City. We ended up losing 4-3.
Bit surprised United’s 5-0 loss to Liverpool last season wasn’t even mentioned
As a Leeds fan, the 2-1 defeat to Bradford in 2014 goes down as one of the more embarrassing defeats. It was just after Cellino took over as owner and hired a PE teacher as head coach, signed dozens of unknown donkeys from the Italian second division and then turned up at our neighbours and were utterly diabolical. It was a symbol of the disaster and chaos that surrounded us for that period.
that was a fun day too the be fair...billy knott with a brilliant strike and then james hanson with a shit header that found a way.....oh fuck it was a laugh...cant remember the leeds managers name but they got him straight from non league...fuckin wankers set the ive cream truck on fire at odsal the year after the fire at vp....dirty fucking scummy leeds
I think 1-2 in Cardiff in 2002, 1-6 in Portsmouth in 2003, 1-5 in Luton in 2006, and 0-1 in Cheltenham in 2007 despite pounding them, and due to a howler, were the worst for Leeds. The first 3 results were ones that signalled their decline. With Everton, I could consider the 2-5 loss to Watford as it destroyed their ambition for many months, even though, even without his status as a Liverpool legend, his confrontational and pragmatic attitude, and his tepid record at his teams since the start of 2009, meant Benitez was never the right boss for Everton, whereas Lampard is and is creating a clear DNA. And with Arsenal, losing the LC final to Birmingham, who we beat home and away in the league and haven’t met since, or the loss to Chelsea in the EL final, could also count, but like with Everton, and the Leeds loss to Histon mentioned in the video, allowed a rebuild
As a Chelsea fan (whilst being one for just 21 years), I'd say the most humiliating defeats in my book were the 2-4 home loss against Bradford and the 6-0 shitshow against Man City. All other defeats could be justified, but these two really hurt.
I'm still saying our 6-0 beating by QPR in 1986 during the "shit years". I've also been a Chelsea fan before Roman Abramovich came, having grown up in the 90s. Most of my family are Chelsea through and through too 💙🤍 #KTBFFH x

Agreed. I'll get bashed here, but honestly my guy's Man U in the '99 UCL final vs Bayern, other than for about 4 minutes, were never in it!
@@coalfacechris1336 I think even Man United players would agree with that, but you have to play the whole game.
This is there the Eibar losing the tiebreaker for 16th and 17th in 2014/15 but staying up because Elche briefly was bankrupt and as a result was relegated. More surprisingly, Elche returned back to La Liga in the season Eibar was relegated 6 seasons later.
i know people won't like it, but Real Madrid's run to the Champions League final last season wasn't really deserved. Ok, they have the best player in the world at the moment, they are mentally strong, they have lots of luck, but apart from that, they got dominated from every single club they faced in the knockout round, including the final.
Barca 08/09. Chelsea were robbed.
I was expecting Aston Villa 7-2 Liverpool to make it tbh. Liverpool had a much better team against a Villa side who almost got relegated the season before
No, being completely honest, the Villa result barely registered. The 6-1 loss to Stoke was far more embarrassing. I knew it would be either that or losing on penalties at home to Northampton.

On that Leeds defeat, it’s worth noting that Histon got relegated out of the Northern Premier League Division One last season and are now just the eight divisions below Leeds United and the Premier League.
Can't agree with the Brighton pick. I think most of us old enough to remember it would always pick the time that we had Brian Clough as manager and managed to lose 4-0 at home to Walton and Hersham. Losing to 9 man Walsall was bad, but sneaky 1-0 wins happen against the odds all the time. Losing 4-0 at home to an Isthmian League team is much rarer and more painful.
Was at Histon vs Leeds! Was hoping it would get a mention. Great video 👍🏼⚽️
Alfie, for Liverpool beating Aston villa 6-0 surely you could have called the 7-2 as some sort of revenge of humiliation
Chelsea's 6-0 defeat to QPR on 31st March 1986 was our worst-ever, I'd say. We finished 6th that year (QPR were 13th), but we were also relegated two seasons after. This time period has often been referred to as "the shit years" for good reason. I've been a Chelsea girl my whole life, but was lucky enough to have been born just after 💙🤍 #KTBFFH
Newcastle's defeat to Derby in 2007/08 should be mentioned. It was the only win Derby got that season lol
Derby only got 11 points that season, 4 against us.
View from a Spurs fan's eyes - lasagnegate was more scandalous than humiliating because from our point of view there was such a strong sense of injustice which outweighed the humiliation. Saying that, I can see from the point of view of opposing fans that it provided great ammunition for them to make us feel humiliated by it. Personally, I feel we have spoiled you for choice but the one performance which will always give me nightmares is the 2:1 Europa League defeat to Slovenian minnows NS Mura. To me that felt like I'd just watched England lose to San Marino or something. All about perspective though. Love your work
I think the 1-5 defeat to Newcastle was most embarassing, getting humiliated by a team that's already RELEGATED, and forever being laughed at for "finishing third in a two horse race" 😅😅
@@LuigiLuigi728 Yeah. All season, Newcastle seemed to not care. Then, suddenly, against Spurs, the likes of Janmaat, Sissoko, and Wijnaldum played like they were possessed by the spirit of prime Eusébio. Like, where was that fight the rest of the season?
Can you do a video on the rise of Yeovil town from the 6th tier to the championship and then the rapid collapse to conference?
I wish Blackpool were in the prem now. So he could talk about when Port Vale beat the Stanley Mathew's team back in '54. UTV ⚫⚪
Everton's most embarrassing defeat in recent years is easily our 1-0 defeat to Liverpool's kids in the FA cup. However a defeat that hurt older fans the most was the 1-0 defeat to Oxford in 85/86. Which gave the Liverpool the advantage in the title race with a couple of games to go which they of course took.
What about Leeds beating man u when Leeds were in league 1?! That's definitely their most humiliating!!
There have been heavier defeats with more lopsided scorelines, but Liverpool beating Villa 6-0 is probably the worst performance I have ever seen. The Kolo Toure goal to make it 6-0 was so astoundingly bad.
Got to say, a little relieved the infamous astra goo goo name was not uttered here... Getting knocked out not once but twice to romanian minnows in successive seasons has left West Ham fans shaking in their boots ever since
Another great video mate! While watching this I thought of a possible idea for a video. The 7 teams that have conceded the most goals in total in the PL. Obviously some teams have played a hell of a lot more games than others but I’m sure a man of your skills could come up with some rules to sort it haha.
As a posh fan I was at that 7-0 game against Brentford. If you’d have asked at the time which team would now be in the prem and who would’ve sold Toney to who, there was only one answer. It was the wrong one.
As a Villa fan, the 3-0 home defeat to Birmingham City in the Prem was the most humiliating. And getting dicked 6-0 by Southampton the season before we got relegated was dreadful too. I remember I had to go to the hospital to get some stitches removed after a surgery at that time - and I went to the hospital before the end of the match because I'd rather suffer physical pain than watch any more of that match. Getting thrashed by a better team can happen even when you're playing well. But I understand your choice, especially with the Lescott narrative.
I’d still go with the Liverpool game mainly because we had picked up 2 win and 2 draws in the previous 5 games and starting to get abit of hope then that hope was ripped away.
Is that the one with the Olof Mellberg throw-in that Peter Enckelman somehow let through?
As a Brazilian, It's really interesting to get to know some of the lowest moments in Premier League clubs histories. Around here, the greatest "vexames" (embarrasment, shame) usually are - as Alfie described in a Lot of his choices - surrounded by a larger context of a campaign, rivalry, an entire club period and/or even "off-pitch" aspects, such as players, directors, chairmen actions and statements.
A lot of times, It's not only the poorest performance or the heaviest scoreline that defines the greatest humiliation. It can be a specific match that "encapsulates and symbolizes" a relagation Season of a big club, for example. Nevertheless, another really fine video!
I love Brazilians and your undying passions for The Beautiful Game
As a Newcastle fan, I think we spoil people looking for our worst ever result. Even among those not cited were 6-0 to Liverpool after Suarez got banned, a 5-1 at Chelsea in their odd 15/16 meltdown season, losing home and away to a relegated Blackburn in the Championship, losing at Scunthorpe in a different Championship stint, being the first team in the season before last to lose to Sheffield United, losing a must win game at an already relegated QPR and that 3-0 loss to Aston Villa when Dyer and Bowyer got a bit distracted. Though makes a change for it not be that game at Hereford
The Villa game was more embarrassing, Southend is not as bad as Cambridge, Oxford and Stevenage. I would go with the last Sunderland game, 6 in a row. Oh Newcastle have more money than Man City
As a WBA fan, smashing Wolves 5-1 was incredibly satisfying, I think there was a riot in Wolverhampton town centre afterwards, it must have been horrible to be on the other end of that. We maybe in a lower league now but we have had it over them for so long in the derby. We've only lost to them 3 times since 1997, winning 13 in the process including a very memorable 3-0 win in the FA Cup where we were given their seats in exchange for Wolves fans getting a pie and pint voucher.
In terms of our own most embarrassing defeat there have been a few in my lifetime, including a few thrashings in the prem, ones that stand out are losing 6-0 and 5-0 to liverpool at home, but I think losing to Wimbledon 1-0 in 2004 is one that has stuck in my mind. They had just moved to Milton Keynes and finished bottom that season. They only bought about a 100 fans and still managed to beat us. Very depressing game all round.
The 6-1 loss to City honestly wasn't that bad of a performance. Utd were down to 10 men for most of the 2nd half and we're only losing 3-1 in the 88th minute and capitulated in injury time
The 5-0 to Liverpool last season was way more humiliating, together with the 4-0 to Everton in 2018/19, 4-0 to MK Dons and even the 2-2 draw with Fulham in 13/14 (the one where we made 81 crosses)
Great videos Alfie
as a liverpool fan, before seeing who we got as ours, I say villa 7-2 liverpool is the most humiliating
I think when compiling such a list, it might help to consider what the result means to the winning side. If you're playing Liverpool or Manchester United, and you've got a bad day while they've got a great one, then conceding 6 to 8 goals can happen. But to them, this'll be merely a side note in their history,
On the other hand "remember when we won despite being two men down after half an hour?" is the stuff of legends, and will probably get talked about for decades to come among fans of that club - especially if they're not regularly winning any trophies
From someone who saw both legs of the Arsenal-Bayern match, I would say that was just as embarrassing for Arsenal. Losing 10-2 over two legs is brutal, but as I am a Bayern fan, I laughed my ass off.
Fulham getting battered by Hull with 6 of the goals coming in at the second half was pretty brutal :')
yes up the posh! never thought id see us in a HITC sevens video
Absolutely criminal how that Everton team made top four scoring 45 goals
with a negative goal difference
Single goal wins were in the Moyes DNA until 2006-07…
For me, Spurs losing to Dynamo Zagreb while having a 2 goal lead and Zagreb having their manager recently taken to prison before the second leg is up there as most embarrassing.
I feel Newcastle's 3-0 loss to Sunderland deserves an honourable mention. Sunderland hadn't won any of their first 10 games and were bottom of the table. Sunderland had won their previous 4 meetings as well. That result ended up making a difference in Newcastle's relegation that season
When talking about Man City the picture of Cantona is against Coventry not Man City
Lovely Peugeot kit!
The brentford Peterborough game is the first game I remember going to, best day of my life. Made me fall in love with football.
As a forest fan i think our 4-1 defeat to stoke is probably one of our most humiliating defeats as it was a stoke team with nothing to play for we only had to draw to get play offs and if we lost we could of still got play offs if we didn’t lose by a lot of goals but we still bottled it
5-0 surely comes close?
@@georgethesticks 5-0 loss to derby ? Yes, humiliating as losing a derby day like that is bad but I don’t think it comes close to our capitulation against stoke. Also that 5-0 loss was a long time ago and in recent years forest have Been the better team against derby as they haven’t beaten us in 10 games I believe
Losing 6-1 to City was bad but considering we were down to 10 men and the score 3-1 going in to injury time I wouldn't put it on the same level as Liverpool last season x2 or Brentford this season where they actually stopped playing out of pity for United
As a Burnley fan, I’d say the most humiliating defeat I’ve seen in my lifetime is the 1-0 home defeat in the FA Cup in 2017 to then non league Lincoln. We were terrible that day, to say we were a premier league side as well!
Surprised you didn’t mention our 9-1 defeat against Sunderland in 1908
As a feyenoord fan, I'm just incredibly happy you did not make this video about the eredivisie

When did Everton overtake Liverpool as Englands dominant force. I seem to remember either side of their two league triumphs Liverpool winning the other 3 titles and a European cup and the double in 86 between there 2 league titles in that period. Some dominance
as a bournemouth fan i honestly think losing 1-0 away at blyth spartans in an fa cup replay was our most humiliating defeat. probably the absolute lowest point in the clubs history as we were still on minus points in december and eddie howe hadnt become our manager yet. it felt like the final death knell of our club at the time
Or our loss to Boreham Wood last season!
You could do a 25 minute video on Leeds' most humiliating defeats alone. Also worth mentioning we made two playoff finals in our time outside the top flight and lost 3-0 to a poor Watford side and 1-0 to Doncaster. Don't even get started on the time we became the first club to fail to reach a Championship playoff final after winning the first leg away from home in 2019.
I mean man u losing to leeds at old Trafford given the rivalry and the fact leeds were in league 1 and fergie still at the helm surely deserved an honorable mention for man u
The mighty Col U getting two honourable mentions. You love to see it🤩
As a spurs fan. I remember being live on sky. The 1-0 defeat to Grimsby town in the second round of the League cup. Or city's 4-3 come back in the FA cup at White Hart lane depsite them being down to ten men.
Haven't made any suggestions in some time. So day 1:
The biggest wins in every european top flight (Athletic Bilbio 12-1 FC Barcelona; Gladbach 12-0 Dortmund; Ajax 13-0 VVV Venlo).
I was at Brentford's 7-0 loss at Peterborough in 2007. The only consolation was that I lost count and left the stadium thinking it was 8-0! Not sure why the thumbnail picture is of Deon Burton from the 2004/05 season though, when he'd left more than 2 years before that Peterborough game!
Great video! Though if it was made today, Man U's might now be updated to losing 7-0 to Liverpool.
Man Utd went into that game sitting 3rd in the table, off the back of a League Cup triumph at Wembley against a much improved Newcastle Utd, as well as beating Barcelona 2-1 in the Europa League.
Liverpool meanwhile were sat 6th, and in the build-up to this game, had just lost 5-2 at home to Real Madrid, drew 0-0 to Crystal Palace, and struggled to beat Wolves 2-0.
In a game that should have seen Man Utd in full confidence, they actually started the game well, but utterly capitulated following a Cody Gakpo goal just before half-time.
I still think of the first weekend of the 92/93 season.....first weekend living in Australia, and you had to ring a phone line for the results in those days.....first post relegation season, away to Raith Rovers.....have to sit on the phone wading through Conference scores etc....and after a long wait on comes a cheery voice to say "Raith Rovers SEVEN.....(pause).....THATS SEVEN!!!!!!!!, St Mirren 0....." - not a good day.....
Thanks for not mentioning the back-to-back trouncings by Bayern over Arsenal, battering us 5-1 twice to give them a 10-2 win on aggregate! Oh, how we miss the CL!
7:34 Big ups for the Kingstonian shout out. Grew up there. Kings Meadow was at the end of my road. Used to jump the fence with my mates on Friday night to play on the pitch. Floodlights from the athletes track next door lit the pitch.
The 1-0 loss that Man Utd got against Leeds in 2010 during the FA cup was their most humiliating. We were in league one at the time and they expected to beat us but then Jermaine Beckford, our best player at the time, went and scored. They were not happy about losing to their rival!
As a Norwich fan some would say the 7-1 to Colchester, however the FA cup defeat 1-0 to Luton is probably worse, due to our relative league positions at the time....
losing 6-0 to Fulham to get relegated on the last day of the season was pretty horrendous too
The 7 teams in most need of a new stadium.
I'm a Walsall fan, remember that win against Brighton well.
We don't often get a mention on HITC Sevens either!
You should do a video of every premier league clubs heaviest defeat in the prem era as a compliment to this video
Glad this channel exists to continuously remind people of our 8-0 pasting of Hull
Regarding Forest, I'd say the most embarrassing result in my lifetime was losing 3-2 to Woking away in the 1st round of the LDV Vans trophy in 2005. I went to that game as I live near Woking but support Forest. That is the most embarrassing along with the 8-1 defeat to Man Utd in 1999 (ironically we've not played Man Utd in ANY competition since that game)
Well, that's about to change (the haven't played United in any competition since the 8-1 part). You're scheduled to play them at Old Trafford in December.
At that time,to see my beloved Arsenal side losing in a manner which depressed me the most l,summed up my day,good friends!!!😪
Absolutely spot on with the Brighton selection! Was an astonishing day
Hi Alfie! You just mentioned my boyhood club in here for the first time I belive, in the name if Dinamo Bucharest and I know now it’s the best time for me to request a What on earth is going on (which by the way is one of the best series on youtube) video on them. We just got relegated for the first time in all club’s history and the things are not going well at all. I truly appreciate all of your efforts and I will be more than happier if you will consider this idea. Hope you enjoy your day, Alfie!
Manchester City's lowest point was York City away in the 98/99 season that left City 13th in the third tier table right before the Christmas break. "York away" is now part of club lore with many claiming that "they were there" as part of their proof of their fealty to the blues. Had City not managed to turn things around in the second half of the season and won that dramatic playoff to secure promotion, it is very conceivable that City would have never recovered and gone into administration or worse and they would have not been in position to become what they have become since the UAE takeover.
I know I'm late to reply to your comment.
I don't know if you're a Manchester City fan or not, but when I did the research about the final day of the 1998/99 Division Two season, Manchester City actually beat York City 4-0 to indirectly send the Yorkshire club down to the 4th tier of English football.
As a real fans of a team, we never cease our support Alfie, even on the darkest days. My core team is my national team Norway, and we have just been through a 15 years of dark era. In the 3 years I refer to as "the darkest days", we lost 1-0 at home against Moldova and were the first team in many years to concede a goal at home against San Marino. Yes, I know a thing or two about feeling humiliated. But still the support and love for our team never cease, even though I some times feel that this sport going to be the main reason of an early grave. it is worth it though in the end, for the good moments. :)
My local team worksop town managed to scrape a 0-0 draw vs Leicester in the fa cup whilst being in the 9th divison. We wont talk of the replay though and end the story here.
IMO, Liverpools most embarrassing defeat surely has to be their 1-0 1998 FA Cup Final defeat to Wimbledon. Back then nobody gave Wimbledon a chance in hell, some papers even had them losing double digits in the final. Liverpool being the team of the 80's and as dominant as you can imagine they thought Wimbledon in the final would be a stroll in the park. All this just for Wimbledon to go 1-0 up and Dave Beasant becoming the first goalkeeper to save a penalty in an FA Cup final practically winning the cup for a side who had been a non-league club no more than 12 years prior.
One other Villa defeat that deserved a shout is Bradford 3 Villa in the 2013 League Cup semifinal first leg. Maybe that one game wasn’t humiliating enough, Villa could only win the home leg 2-1, and a Premier League losing over two legs to a side in League 2 is certainly humiliating. Especially a big club that hasn’t won a trophy since 1996.
As an Ipswich fan, the nine nil at old trafford still gives me nightmares. But we smashed the same team 6-0 at Portman Road in 1980, so there is a massive cushion of comfort in that.
As a Peterborough United fan, it pleases me greatly to see little old us feature twice in a video about humiliating defeats for current Premier League teams 😆
I would have picked the 4-0 FA Cup Final defeat by Man Utd for Chelsea. Even though we finished 14th that year, we beat League Champions Man Utd 1-0 home and away that year, and it was expected to be a very close game.
To be beaten so comprehensively in arguably the biggest English game of the season (The FA Cup was still considered the banner competition back then) was a massive blow for Chelsea (and me as a 17 year old watching my team in their first FA Cup Final of my lifetime).
I think the most relelvant topics in football right now are; Did Barcelona hire thugs to slap around Aubameyang so they don't have to pull anymore levers? And are witches a thing in football?
Personally, while the 6-1 home defeat to City is inescapable and cemented a major paradigm shift in the English game, I think the 5-0 home defeat to Liverpool felt much, much worse considering the progress we were making under Ole prior to that point. It also sent me into a depression personally, which the City game did not, so take your pick I guess lol
What a game the 8-2 against Arsenal was. Im a die hard United fan from Sweden. I bought a ticket to that game online and was told to pick it up at some agent in Manchester. I was meant to pick up by 1pm on the Saturday before the game. After waiting until 9am for a friend who was meant to come from Birmingham and drive me to Manchester i ended up taking a train. When i got to Manchester it turned out i had to take a tram to the agent. By the time i got of the tram, it was almost 1pm and i was rushing. I ran out the tram looking down at the papper with the address to the agent when i suddenly felt a sharp pain to my head. It turned out i had ran into a pole and split my eyebrow open. With blood gushing down my face i continued to run to the agent only to find it was closed by the time i got there.
Dissapointed and in pain, i figured that if i go to Old trafford the club would give me a ticket. Only to be told that they didn’t recognize the agent that had sold me the ticket and that it was fake. I pleaded with them and told them that i was a die-hard fan from Sweden, only to be told that ”this happens all the time” 😤
Dissapointed and in pain, i angrily walked out and wondered around Old trafford in a daze, crying and blood running down my face because it was raining by then. After an hr or so, while standing next to the holy trinity, i was approached by a man. After asking me what was wrong and me telling him, he asked me how much money i had on me. I had more, but told him i had sixty pounds left on more. Then he told me he had a ticket in the away section that he could sell me for that. After buying the ticket from him, he told me to go to the hospital because of my sore (i hadn’t been aware it was that bad).
You can imagine how surprised i was when a woman walked into the waiting room at the hospital and presented herself as the sister of the man who had sold me the ticket. Her brother had told her the story and she had come to check on me. She gave me her number and told me to call her when i was done.
I called her and she came and picked me up and drove me to her house where me, her 80 yr old mother and her had dinner. After dinner me and her brother hung out and it turned out he was a die hard fan who had been at a couple of CL finals. He offered me to sleep over but i declined because i had booked a room by a pub close to Old trafford. Later that night we went out and had some drinks before calling it a night.
The next day i watched the game and couldn’t believe my eyes. Unfortunately i couldn’t celebrate the goals because i was with the arsenal fans😂
What a memory, this video just reminded me of that day. But also how total strangers can be so kind and thoughtful. It’s a shame there are not more people like that. Unfortunately i lost my phone and contact with that guy, but wish i could find him somehow and invite him to 🇸🇪

As a Blackpool fan, you forgot to mention...we beat Liverpool twice back in 2010/11. 2-1 at Anfield and same score at Bloomfield Rd.
Bournemouth's 9-0 defeat to Liverpool was their joint worst loss. In December 1982 they also lost 9-0 to my team Lincoln in what is now League One in what was Harry Redknapp's first game in charge fir the Cherries. Bournemouth's keeper was actually man of the match as it could have been well into double figures.
It goes back to 1908-and even though they won the league that season-I would imagine Newcastle United's NINE-one HOME defeat to Sunderland still haunts St James Park !
as a bristol rovers fan, gutted not feature thought we might have been 8-2 vs brighton in 73...i think a game which made brian clough hate us for the rest of his life !!
As a Reading fan, you beating us 6-0 at our ground in 2000 was arguably our most humiliating result. We ended up signing Jamie Cureton who scored 4 of those goals that game shortly afterwards who went on to become a Reading legend
Rovers (my pe teacher’s fave team) once lost 12-0 to Luton after a player became an emergency striker and got no less than 10 goals.
Nah the Southampton 9-0 wasn't the most humiliating. 2 red cards, (the first after 2 minutes) covid outbreak meaning 2 youth team players with less than 5 starts between them had to play. The real humiliating defeat was back in the league cup in 1980. Southampton were 2nd in the table(finished 6th), had 5 internationals playing, had won the first leg 4-0 against a team in the division below. Even rested European footballer of the year Kevin Keegan. Promptly lost 7-1. I was there, sadly.
Never Forget Man City's 8-1 Lose To Middlesbrough Back In 2008
yeah that probably should’ve been it
I'm disappointed that you didn't select Wrexham 2-1 Arsenal for the first entry. That one was truly hilarious.
"I hope you enjoy it, at least until your team comes up"
Me who's team isn't in the Premier League.
Do a video on the team at 9:54, really rich history but now find themselves in an unprecedented predicament
