There’s nothing worse in football than seeing your team relegated, no matter what level your club plays at. A season of hope extinguished in a heartbeat but it's even worse when your side has threatened to produce the lowest points in a Premier League season. But everyone feels sympathy, and perhaps a bit of laughter, when you see a side prove themselves beyond hopeless in the process. In this podcast, we are going to look at the ‘worst’ Premier League sides of all-time, those that recorded the lowest points in a Premier League season, those that will forever leave their stain on the competition.
