Fun fact, all of those five teams were ultimately relegated by the end of the 2012-13 season. Only Wolves have returned to the Premier League since and it took them six seasons and a year in L1 to get back to the top flight. Birmingham have remained in the Championship ever since, both Blackburn and Wigan have been in L1 where Wigan still are now and Blackpool have gone from the Championship down to L2 and all the way back to the Championship. All this in the space of just ten years. Mental!
@@AFCmedia22 I think he meant the 5 teams involved in this final day shootout at West Ham were already down by that point after they collapsed against Wigan the previous week they were 2-0 up via Demba Ba but ending up losing 3-2 and Avram Grant was fired in the corridor at the DW Stadium after the match
@@jackbolland9628 I knew we were on borrowed time the second we went up so I wasn't really too shocked. The manner in which it happened was pathetic and the following relegation to league one was hard to take. But it sparked the revival and I'm enjoying being a decent Premier League side now.
It’s almost unbelievable to think out of the these teams it was the 20th placed already relegated club that is doing by far the best today, even competing in Europe and for European spots in the prem
What the creators of the so called "superleague" dont get is that the relegation battle is just as thrilling as the title race and this final day review shurely proves it!
I've always found following relegation battles far more interesting than promotion/champion fights. Every win is absolutely MASSIVE whereas at the top every team wins and you're just waiting for teams to drop points.
They might have even managed to get the Super League through if they had made it the new top of the tree. Divide Europe into north, south, east and west and have a 20 team league with 4 relegation spots. But that is the point isn’t it, these big clubs don’t want to hear about relegation and the financial implications
As a Wolves fan, this day was horrendous to watch with the contrasting emotions. We had like the Wolves, Blackpool and Birmingham game all playing at the same time on different devices. With one goal just completly changing who stays up and down, it was such a hard watch.
I had a similar feeling as you in the 2011/2012 season when it was a final battle between Man City and Man United. I’m a Man U fan and I was upset back then when Aguero scored that goal against QPR. I literally thought we had it won lol. It was a great moment for city though.
The noughties & early 2010s was the peak of the PL in terms of pure nail biting drama. You'd get incredible relegation climaxes with so many twists & turns on the final day more often back then. You hardly ever get these survival Sunday final day scenarios anymore because all 3 teams are usually already relegated before their last game. This era was unmatched. 2000s - 2011/12 = PL's peak
I mean yea even tho it's tough to admit as a United fan the most iconic season was easily 2011/2012 you will really never see it again the league not only just going down to the final season but being won on a last second goal
@@hendrikfullgraf1031 Yep true, but those (13/14 & 18/19) were absorbing because of the intrigue of the title races. There's not really been a gripping final day finale at the bottom of the league since the 10/11 & 11/12 seasons
Shame the donkey manager could t change his attacking style when 2-1 up and keep them in the league Why they kept piling forward looking a 3rd goal when they only needed a point showed how naive Holloway is Change your style and beat hard to beat for 20 mins ffs. Blackpool needed 1pt and were 2-1 up and kept attacking like crazy
I would say the 2005 relegation battle and the 2012 title race were the most dramatic final days in EPL history. But the relegation battle in 2011 was so unpredictable. Such a shame that Blackpool went down. They punched above their weight all season and played a unique open and attacking brand of football. Plus Ian Holloway was such a charismatic and vibrant figure. It would have been one of the great underdog success stories had they had managed to pull it off.
Know Liverpool were average that season but Blackpool did do the double over them which by their standards was impressive. Scored plenty of goals but it was their defensive record which let them down, worse in the league.
@@marcus.5024 Apart from Man Utd and Citey battling it out for the title what else was going on that final day? The amount of teams involved in the 2011 last day relegation battle was insane! 2011 all day for me!

Shame he was to naive to get the point Blackpool needed when Blackpool were 2-1 up Rather than change his principals for half an hour and keep a team like Blackpool in the Premier league his arrogance thought he could go an score 3 or 4 goals They were 2-1 up and needed a point. Camp 11 behind the ball ffs and get your point Not pile forward leaving massive gaps all over the pitch
They had everything but the quality really. On paper their team was nowhere near PL quality, but they gave it a good bloody go, and almost survived through just pure determination and desire.
@@efancording6363 "gave it a good bloody go" is damn right. Blackpool didn't have the PL quality, but I respect the hell outta them for putting up a fight until the very last day, hell, the very last 20 minutes or so if I'm being precise. It took 2 late 70/80+ min goals on the part of United to send them sinking down. That's one hell of a PL survival battle if you ask me. There are other PL teams in the past who lack the PL quality just like Blackpool did, but were blown away sooner than you can imagine. Derby County's 11 point season, Sheffield United's 20/21 campaign are among many that comes to mind.
@@hypsmaruf8652 dude the moment I saw Blackpool needed a draw/win and their last game of the season was against MAN UNITED at OLD TRAFFORD, in my mind I told myself "That's it, they're relegated." And all this after forgetting who actually went down in this particular season. SAF's United was on another level, and to take points off them at Old Trafford, maybe you require a 15% chance to do so if you're not a top team, and even if you manage to pull it off, its usually when United least expects it (a game in the middle of the season). But don't expect to take anything off United when you desperately needs it. It don't work that way. Today's United though, I think if Blackpool had led them twice, there's a higher chance they could draw or even win the game 😂
This was miles better than 04/05 relegation weekend, cause me being a maths nerd, I love all the different permutations and the changing needs for each team. So brilliant.
This relegation battle was so close blues technically got relegated on goals scored. When wolves scored to make it 3-1, them and blues were tied on points and goal difference but blues now needed to win because wolves scored more goals throughout the season. Then as blues tried to win, spurs counter attacked and sealed their fate with a late winner.
If you haven’t relived it already, check out the final day of the 04/05 season. All 3 relegation places decided on the final day, with the team that started the final day in last place staying up. That’ll never happen again

Us Blackpool fans knew we were relegated when we let a 2-0 lead go at Blackburn 6 games earlier. Then Wigan beat us with 3 games left. That was the final nail. The game at Old Trafford was always a mammoth task but we tried. We are in a better position now consolidating in the Championship without the Oystons on the board.
Wigan and Blackpool 2 teams who competed in 2010/11 once again have a relegatikn battle Eveb birmingham could join with huddersfield rotherham and cardiff and qpr
I remember this as a Blackburn fan. I was 12 and my whole family were watching the Wolves game at my uncle's house. We had another TV on for the other results - nobody relaxed for the entire 90 minutes, but what a feeling when we knew we were staying up
One of my favourite nostalgic videos about the Barclays era of PL football - so many icons in here, Gilks, Rodallega, Ridgewell, Evatt, Emerton, Craddock to name but a few. That Pavlyuchenko goal at the end is an absolute ripsnorter too
It shows how mental an afternoon it was that Wolves goal to get it back to the 3-2 was enough to put them ahead of Birmingham. At one point Blues and Wigan were down ten minutes later it was Blackpool and Wolves. Blackburn deserved credit for taking themselves out of it early on. Wigan for biding their time and getting that late win. Even Blackpool going from 1-0 to 2-1 up and Wolves for getting back into it. I doubt we'll ever see another relegation scrap quite like that again.
Untill the 2022/23 season came and is giving us probablt the most wild relegation scraps ever Just 5 points seperate 12 seed Palace and 19 seed Leicester City
People dont realise what that season in the prem did for our town of blackpool, I was like a year long holiday, as teenager we would sneak into the hotel where the players stayed when they had a big home game, I remember meeting Drogba and David Luiz when blackpool played Chelsea at home. David Luiz was such a nice guy, proper genuine
I remember this day well. As a Rovers fan, it still makes my stomach turn seeing Steve Kean leading a Blackburn team but Holy Lord I was buzzing that day.
This is what I love about British league football; even in the lower tiers of each division, there is tension, tenaciousness, high-level interest, and a fight for survival. ---------------------------- American sports have no relegation: The mid-season sports die with men exposed to who they are. Teams "tank" to befit the stragglers' strategy in attempting to get the first or best pick in the draft -- mainly, the most touted collegiate player. I am glad that I'm engulfed by the enthusiasm for English league football. Come to England and pick up the game, and experience passion that never dies.
As Mexican-American who’s dad religiously watched the Mexican league and me watching that and some mild MLS, this is when I fell in love with the prem. The nostalgia from some of these players names from waking up at 4-6AM to watch these games was def worth it. Sure there’s giants like Barca,Madrid,Juve,Bayern,PSG but this league is jus sum else. Most entertaining and unpredictable by far! BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD FOR A REASON.
Its just funny to see how Blackpool is currently 7th in league one and Wigan Atletic is currently 19th in league one, that is 3rd tier of english football. Just shows how times change, with certain clubs competing in Premier League and now their nowhere close to reaching back to Premier League even. Rest of these. Blackburn on the other hand seems to be 12th in the Championship and Birmingham 14th, while Wolves in doing great in Premier League in their 12th position one position bellow Chelsea. Luton Town, that is currently 18th in Premier League was competing in the National League at this time.
The title race is great and all but there is nothing like a relegation battle in my opinion just the sheer desperation of teams battling to stay up can create iconic moments
One of the great days of being a Wigan fan. We were effectively down at half time 7 days prior before coming back to beat and relegate West Ham. Was mad trying to keep on top of everything going on, but after Hugos goal I remember it being quite straight forward. Don't think Stoke were that desperate for the result. Great times though.
As a West Ham fan of many years, I am actually happy to see that we were on just 33 points 11 years ago, because it reminds me of how much we have been through to get where we are today. To most clubs, 6th/7th is a good result, but based on history for us, it is the best result I could have imagined 11 years ago.
just a reminder some of these players were starting their career from the bottom, ie: nzonzi a world cup winner, used to play for blackburn, modric a ballon d'or winner, one of greatest midfielders, used to play for spurs, charli adam, liverpool legend, best left foot midfielder used to play for stoke.
Always maintained that mick McCarthy should of gone after this game, cost us our place the following season in my opinion. I was at that match and we were absolutely gash, both us and Blackburn knew a win would keep us up yet we conceded 3 at home, unforgivable. Mick had lost the dressing room at this point and the following season we went to pieces
@@MohamedAli-xu3uw you are in a relegation form man. Those "things"that are happening now at wolves i find them not so good. Who told the big clubs to come and get nearly everyone from the club? Diogo went to Liverpool, matt Doherty went to Tottenham... We are fucked. Mr morgan come and take us please and fix this mess that nuno espirito santos has make. Oh and please bring mixk with you.
Loved this Blackpool side, I played CAM and ST for them in FIFA11 before joining Arsenal 😂 Phillips on the wing and Charlie Adam in CM absolutely quality.
As relegation battles go, this was one of the most exciting final days. Always had a soft spot for Wolves so I was very happy with the outcome for them.
The 22-23 season is by far the most insaine one yet As s Forest fan i feel like we may go down we collapsed big time in the last 2 months i don't know what happened
@@jonathanfrimerman8855 Indeed. As of now, 6 TEAMS separated by only 3 points. Leicester, West Ham, Leeds, Everton, Southampton and Bournemouth are all considered to be in the danger zone with a chance to survive, with 12 matches to go. Whew. I can't wait to see how things turn out before the final match day. Oh, if you want my predictions, I'd say it's farewell to the Premier League for Southampton, Leeds, and as much as I don't want it to happen, Bournemouth.
Birmingham City played the Europa League in the season 2011/2012, despite they are in Championship, because they won the Carling Cup in the Final against Arsenal.
This is one of my best childhood premier league memories and I remember it well. It was my 10th birthday, we only had sky sports for a few months as it was the first time that my parents could afford it and I was excited to see who would stay up and who would go down as my own QPR had only just been promoted for the first time in my life a few weeks earlier, good times.
Not sure if this even reaches anybody but I’ve just been hit with beautiful football manager nostalgia SANDRO! What a unbelievable cdm he was I forgot he even existed till this video so then you to whoever uploaded this🩷
Here is where each club featured in this video will be playing football for the upcoming 2023-2024 season. Wolverhampton Wanderers: Premier League Blackburn Rovers: Sky Bet EFL Championship Tottenham Hotspur: Premier League (have never been relegated from modern Premier League) Birmingham City: Sky Bet EFL Championship Stoke City: Sky Bet EFL Championship Wigan Athletic: Sky Bet EFL League One (relegated from Sky Bet EFL Championship this season) Manchester United: Premier League (have never been relegated from modern Premier League) Blackpool: Sky Bet EFL League One (relegated from Sky Bet EFL Championship this season)
I love these videos, it is tinged with sadness given what Blackburn and Blackpool fans have had to deal with in the decade since in terms of ownership and management.
I Remember watching this in my empty local in Ireland with one of my few friends that didn't migrate to England/USA/Australia the once booming pub was basically empty but the odd old man. That friend also migrated to the USA that June rough times the recession hit us hard I followed suit after Christmas. They called us the lost generation here in Ireland. If you went to any small town or village in Ireland back then and you'd be lucky to meet a man in his 20's... the banks were bailed out and we were sold out!
This is like watching a movie with a twist inside a twist inside a twist kinda shits I can feel that tension, excitements, disappointments all around within the recorded time 🖤
Maybe we'll have as intense final day relegation battle this season with the likes of Norwich, Newcastle, Burnley, Watford and maybe even Leeds and Southampton.
Really do hope so. Not like last season where the bottom 3 were well cut adrift of the rest and relegated before the final day. Haven’t had much of the same since 2010/11 and would as a neutral love to see a dramatic final day survival battle like this one.
6 teams (variously) occupying the relegation places ... 3 teams starting with a "B" : Birmingham, Blackburn, Blackpool. 3 teams starting with a "W" : West Ham, Wigan, Wolves. What are the odds of that happening?

One of my favourite nostalgic videos about the Barclays era of PL football - so many icons in here, Gilks, Rodallega, Ridgewell, Evatt, Emerton, Craddock to name but a few. That Pavlyuchenko goal at the end is an absolute ripsnorter too
I was 6, but still remember that United v Blackpool game, what a season it was
Thanks for the upload!
It shows how mental an afternoon it was that Wolves goal to get it back to the 3-2 was enough to put them ahead of Birmingham. At one point Blues and Wigan were down ten minutes later it was Blackpool and Wolves. Blackburn deserved credit for taking themselves out of it early on. Wigan for biding their time and getting that late win. Even Blackpool going from 1-0 to 2-1 up and Wolves for getting back into it. I doubt we'll ever see another relegation scrap quite like that again.
Untill the 2022/23 season came and is giving us probablt the most wild relegation scraps ever
Just 5 points seperate 12 seed Palace and 19 seed Leicester City
fun fact: birmingham won the efl cup this season despite getting relegated
(won 2-1 to arsenal at wembley)
Can’t forget that 😂😂😂🤣
I knew who went down at the start of this video but by the end I wasn’t sure 😂😂
Loved this season. Thanks for uploading!
People dont realise what that season in the prem did for our town of blackpool, I was like a year long holiday, as teenager we would sneak into the hotel where the players stayed when they had a big home game, I remember meeting Drogba and David Luiz when blackpool played Chelsea at home. David Luiz was such a nice guy, proper genuine
I remember this day well. As a Rovers fan, it still makes my stomach turn seeing Steve Kean leading a Blackburn team but Holy Lord I was buzzing that day.
2:26 Deserved that goal for the criminal half and half scarf
This is what I love about British league football; even in the lower tiers of each division, there is tension, tenaciousness, high-level interest, and a fight for survival. ---------------------------- American sports have no relegation: The mid-season sports die with men exposed to who they are. Teams "tank" to befit the stragglers' strategy in attempting to get the first or best pick in the draft -- mainly, the most touted collegiate player.
I am glad that I'm engulfed by the enthusiasm for English league football.
Come to England and pick up the game, and experience passion that never dies.
BPL days. Absolute belter of a season this was
As Mexican-American who’s dad religiously watched the Mexican league and me watching that and some mild MLS, this is when I fell in love with the prem. The nostalgia from some of these players names from waking up at 4-6AM to watch these games was def worth it. Sure there’s giants like Barca,Madrid,Juve,Bayern,PSG but this league is jus sum else. Most entertaining and unpredictable by far! BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD FOR A REASON.
Streets will never forget Rodellga and Taraabt(misspelling his name fs💀)
@@lucki2smoove-10kshnnow8 rodellega, taarabt. Peace my g
Its just funny to see how Blackpool is currently 7th in league one and Wigan Atletic is currently 19th in league one, that is 3rd tier of english football. Just shows how times change, with certain clubs competing in Premier League and now their nowhere close to reaching back to Premier League even. Rest of these. Blackburn on the other hand seems to be 12th in the Championship and Birmingham 14th, while Wolves in doing great in Premier League in their 12th position one position bellow Chelsea. Luton Town, that is currently 18th in Premier League was competing in the National League at this time.
The title race is great and all but there is nothing like a relegation battle in my opinion just the sheer desperation of teams battling to stay up can create iconic moments
was sad to see blackpool fall down the divisions after this, good to see they're back in the top end of the championship now though
No chance there wank

Absolutely loved Blackpool that season, wish they stayed up
They were everybody's second favourite team that season and you could see why
I think the whole league was gutted when they went down.
One of the great days of being a Wigan fan. We were effectively down at half time 7 days prior before coming back to beat and relegate West Ham. Was mad trying to keep on top of everything going on, but after Hugos goal I remember it being quite straight forward. Don't think Stoke were that desperate for the result. Great times though.
As a West Ham fan of many years, I am actually happy to see that we were on just 33 points 11 years ago, because it reminds me of how much we have been through to get where we are today. To most clubs, 6th/7th is a good result, but based on history for us, it is the best result I could have imagined 11 years ago.
Well we may repeat history this year
and we never saw Blackpool again..
Imagine having to win 1 game to survive in the prem and you are against fergies man utd💀
The most utterly roller coaster of an afternoon I've ever witnessed as a Wolves fan...
6:50 this has to be one of my favorite free kick routines ive seen
just a reminder some of these players were starting their career from the bottom, ie: nzonzi a world cup winner, used to play for blackburn, modric a ballon d'or winner, one of greatest midfielders, used to play for spurs, charli adam, liverpool legend, best left foot midfielder used to play for stoke.
I think this was one of those game where most manutd supporters kinda wanted to lose NO ONE wanted Blackpool gone
back then i swear relegation teams in the battle turn into 2020 bayern, 2017 real madrid, and 2010 spain 😭
2002 brazil
Always maintained that mick McCarthy should of gone after this game, cost us our place the following season in my opinion. I was at that match and we were absolutely gash, both us and Blackburn knew a win would keep us up yet we conceded 3 at home, unforgivable. Mick had lost the dressing room at this point and the following season we went to pieces
Compared to now it was exciting
@@MohamedAli-xu3uw i’d rather stay up comfortably than this!
Took us as far as he could. We were one of those teams who thought we could keep surviving by buying players from relegated teams
@@Frowgy28 Did Wonders for Liverpool
@@MohamedAli-xu3uw you are in a relegation form man. Those "things"that are happening now at wolves i find them not so good. Who told the big clubs to come and get nearly everyone from the club? Diogo went to Liverpool, matt Doherty went to Tottenham... We are fucked. Mr morgan come and take us please and fix this mess that nuno espirito santos has make. Oh and please bring mixk with you.
relegation battle at final day is more exciting than title decider matches
What an emotional rollercoaster ride. Brilliant video!
I've been waiting for someone to upload this. Thank you mate!
Loved this Blackpool side, I played CAM and ST for them in FIFA11 before joining Arsenal 😂 Phillips on the wing and Charlie Adam in CM absolutely quality.
You know a sport is great when battle for relegation is so captivating! Football is amazing
Was at old trafford that day, there was a Blackpool fan behind me in the stretford end on the phone to his mate at another ground, he was going mental
As relegation battles go, this was one of the most exciting final days. Always had a soft spot for Wolves so I was very happy with the outcome for them.
The 22-23 season is by far the most insaine one yet
As s Forest fan i feel like we may go down we collapsed big time in the last 2 months i don't know what happened
3 points from 6 games is not good
God I wish we had relegation battles as tight as this on the final day now
Are you watching the premier league this year? The relegatikn battle is crazy
@@jonathanfrimerman8855 Indeed. As of now, 6 TEAMS separated by only 3 points. Leicester, West Ham, Leeds, Everton, Southampton and Bournemouth are all considered to be in the danger zone with a chance to survive, with 12 matches to go. Whew. I can't wait to see how things turn out before the final match day. Oh, if you want my predictions, I'd say it's farewell to the Premier League for Southampton, Leeds, and as much as I don't want it to happen, Bournemouth.
Birmingham City played the Europa League in the season 2011/2012, despite they are in Championship, because they won the Carling Cup in the Final against Arsenal.
Broke my heart that day. As a blackpool fan, United had nothing to play for. Should have put out their kids and let us win 😭🧡
Should have tried winning some more games then. The kids might still have beaten you😅😅
@@aleki779 never thought of that? Hmmn winning games gets you points? State the obvious 🙄. Least we've won more trophies in the last 2 years eh 😉😉
@@Louhawke1994 yeah in championship
@@arifrahim5711 My guy, are you from Manchester and do you support United? If not, you're not relevant. Move along 🤡
@@Louhawke1994 getting pressed because you are still have not been in the epl
I'm a United fan we had already won the league. I wanted Blackpool to win that game they fought really well
Chances are they would be relegated the season after
Delaps throw ins were absolutely legendary!
Even as a united fan I remember this match of the day vividly it was and is still my favourite episode ever
This is one of my best childhood premier league memories and I remember it well. It was my 10th birthday, we only had sky sports for a few months as it was the first time that my parents could afford it and I was excited to see who would stay up and who would go down as my own QPR had only just been promoted for the first time in my life a few weeks earlier, good times.
Can we have more of these MOTD vids? I love watching these old ones.

Thx for uploading this
Finally we will see atleast a similar final day this weekend
Wow I've forgot how good this day actually was. Also some stunning goals on that day
When he said Wigan can win and go down or lose and stay up I felt that.
i like this relegation battles. hope you upload more of them :)
I love these videos, it is tinged with sadness given what Blackburn and Blackpool fans have had to deal with in the decade since in terms of ownership and management.
man poor Blackpool, that was devastating to watch can't imagine what fans felt at that moment
A moment to appreciate Charlie Adam's roll at 6:20
Yup
This might forever be the best relegation battle in the EPL
I Remember watching this in my empty local in Ireland with one of my few friends that didn't migrate to England/USA/Australia the once booming pub was basically empty but the odd old man. That friend also migrated to the USA that June rough times the recession hit us hard I followed suit after Christmas. They called us the lost generation here in Ireland. If you went to any small town or village in Ireland back then and you'd be lucky to meet a man in his 20's... the banks were bailed out and we were sold out!
can’t wait for the leeds vs burnley relegation battle classic
If you have any more
Please upload them they’re so much fun to watch
This makes me cry with joy. The good old times 😭🥺
10:34 This haunts me every day. I will never forget that this was the goal that sent us down.
What a rollercoaster, man i love football
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO! Thank you
Think the 2022-2023 season is on the way to repeating this relegation battle.
We’ve not had such a thrilling final day since, and probably won’t for ages! Still feel bad for those who lost out
This is like watching a movie with a twist inside a twist inside a twist kinda shits
I can feel that tension, excitements, disappointments all around within the recorded time 🖤
Vừa vào đã nổi cả da gà 藍giọng a Phúc hayyy quá, mong sẽ tiếp tục cover ạ ❤️
This is a really well done video, i thought the epl channel published it
Maybe we'll have as intense final day relegation battle this season with the likes of Norwich, Newcastle, Burnley, Watford and maybe even Leeds and Southampton.
I can defo see that happening
Really do hope so. Not like last season where the bottom 3 were well cut adrift of the rest and relegated before the final day. Haven’t had much of the same since 2010/11 and would as a neutral love to see a dramatic final day survival battle like this one.
6 teams (variously) occupying the relegation places ...
3 teams starting with a "B" : Birmingham, Blackburn, Blackpool.
3 teams starting with a "W" : West Ham, Wigan, Wolves.
What are the odds of that happening?
Bro this is the best thing on CZcams no cap 🧢
This is the best final day relegation battle
these moments are the best in football
Can we please get more of these? Absolutely love the 2 you released
wow even after so many years I can still feel the excitement
Thanks for those who made this video 🤝🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
