Southampton: What does it mean to be the worst team of the Premier League and Saints will replace derby?
During the torrid season of derby, they won a game, scored 20 goals and closed with a difference in goals of -69.
They suffered some heavy defeats, losing five or more goals for Liverpool, Arsenal, West Ham, Chelsea and Aston Villa.
Derby player Andy Todd said many players “He threw the towel” During that campaign, while manager Paul Jewell revealed that he was advised to never take the job.
“The atmosphere was almost similar to a pantomime sometimes with the songs of” Let’s pretend that we have scored a goal “and” You are nothing special – we lose every week “”, said the Derby Derby fan of Derby Amelia Warren to BBC Sport.
“That kind of things is obviously not what you want to hear your fans sing, but in the end we had to have fun. If we wouldn’t laugh we would have cried!”
It was such a terrible season that Jewell, who arrived in November 2007 and started in December 2008, said that his managerial career “never really recovered”.
Yet the derby fans have made the most of a bad situation.
“Strangely, I think that the derby fans have wore the” worst team of history “tag as a distinctive of honor”, said Barker, guest and creator of the podcast derby Ramstalk.
“The team was terrible, it was hit almost every week, she won a game throughout the season, which I missed, yet still exhausted every week, which in my eyes shows how beautiful this base of fans was and is still.”
