For real man
Yeah in spanish league we used to play almost all the matches at 17 and we were listening to the radio what's happened in other stadiums. Unfortunately everything has changed and we lost almost everything about the football that we remember.
Change for the better. Literally 0.5 second google search and we'll know all the scores
Mitch Boggins they haven’t palace got relegated eventually and then came back in 2013-14 season
@Mitch Boggins Albion yo yo'd a few seasons after we were relegated after this great escape went back up 2008 stayed up til 2018 then went down in that time we saw Wolves, Blues, Villa dumped out of the league then it was our turn. Oh whilst we were there Norwich Kept going up and down Palace Got Promoted Stayed Up Fulham were in the prem til 2015 or so then went down then back up then down.
My dad remembers this day. A Portsmouth fan who went up to the West Brom game, we had nothing to play for, we weren’t gonna get relegated but weren’t gonna get Europe either, mid-table finish. So when we heard news that Southampton were losing the Pompey fans were singing, to their own players “let them score, let them score” because a Baggies goal would send Southampton (our arch rivals) down. And when they did our fans went mental, shaking hands with Albion fans, cheering at their goal, etc. So we lost the battle to win the war basically
Where are Portsmouth and Southampton now 🤣🤣😂🤣😂 lol
Savage Gamer - yeah we’ll be back soon
@@elliot7753 🤣😂🤣😂

@MannyLad 85 shhhhhhh good girl
I love that, in the Brom/Portsmouth game, when the news came through of the results, despite losing, the Portsmouth fans invaded the pitch and celebrated with the Brom fans, since, in losing, they had helped relegate Southampton HAHA
That’s why as a West Brom fan I love Pompey

really a shame that now we are complete landslides better than both teams that laughed at us... how things come around
You gotta love how man United puts the nail in the coffin
Yes! I was there! Lol
R.I.P. John Motson. What an icon. His voice will never be forgotten whilst football remains popular - which, arguably, it always will.
Overrated, annoying voice and bias.
He was 💩
Fifa memories on PlayStation lol
Just about to mention the legendary commentator
Always the most memorable voice in every match
You will always be remembered John
Absolute legendary Commentator
I didn't know that he died. I had so much fun playing FIFA 99 on the PS1 emulator.
It’s mad to hear the teams some of them were playing that were already safe...Charlton, Portsmouth...both are miles from these heights now...

Found the child
Portsmouth had K.P. Boateng some 10 years ago
Tell you what, I do miss Portsmouth, Charlton, Bolton, Blackburn.. They do feel like true Premier League veterans even if it has been a while
@Lewis Whelan Premier League is beyond 1992 when I say PL that's what I mean. And having teams like Bolton around throughout most of the 2000s is strange to think back on now cos they do belong facing big teams, not Forest Green and Harrogate
Rest in Peace Papa Bouba Diop!!
The man mountain!
Rest in piss
Such an irony that most of relegated team that season (Southampton, Crystal Palace) had a better future (like nowdays) than the team who survived in that season (Charlton, Portsmouth).
Norwich as well.
@@Vaughandrix Norwich is coming back to the premier League. Portsmouth and Charlton are in league 1.

West Brom fan here, I was there that day and was only about 10, still some of my best memories! Running on to the pitch and shaking hands with Pompey fans who wanted us to win so saints went down. That will always be one of my fondest memories
How's that Southampton relegation working out for you lads
What else didn't you do that day?
@@jonnywalker3208 I mean, it did happen. I was also there as a Baggies fan and half of the Pompey end were wearing West Brom shirts. They even started Mexican waves in the last 10 minutes and kept chanting to "let them score". When the final whistle went, Pompey fans and Albion fans were invading the pitch, and the scenes after the game were immense with both sets of fans celebrating as much as each other. If you don't believe him that's fine, but anyone who was there know what happened and what a unique experience it was
A day I will never forget I get goosebumps just watching these kinda clips with the baggies involved! Beautiful weather/people/score lines a perfect day 🎉🎉🎉COYB let's get to Wembley.💙🤍💙
the fact that the bottom 4 teams were on 30+ points, and Norwich beforehand were out of the relegation zone, to end up being relegated, shows how competitive this season was, if not the league was back in these days.
30 points is a very weak amount btw
@@ewzinenhou9243 sure, but to have all teams above 30 is competitive. Usually theres a team or 2 in the mid to low 20s that are guaranteed down before the final game. but to not only have all 4 teams above 30, but none of the relegation spots decided means mid table was really competitive, otherwise, one or more of those relegated teams wouldve been in the 20s. Which checks out, only 8 points separated 16th place Portsmouth and 10th place Villa
@@SuccimusPrime It gets better - 4th place Everton was just as far away (in terms of points) from 3rd MU, as 16th place Portsmouth was from 7th Middlesborough
This shows how shit Norwich is
It shows there were about 10 shite teams giving each other points
Respect to Papa Bouba Diop for that stunning free-kick. Rest in Peace.
As an American this is what got me hooked on English football. The scenes at West Brom, like it’s VE Day. For finishing... seventeenth. Nothing quite like that here.
I was around 7 or 8 when this happened and I was there.... never experienced anything quite like it again and odds are I never will in football 😂
_"How do you get Americans to talk about themselves?"_
*"Wait three seconds."*
A good relegation battle is so much more exciting to watch than a title race. If you don't win the title you get to try again next year, when you relegate you have to try to get up again, which can be really hard. A relegation battle is about survival!
It’s more important but it isn’t more exciting. There’s not much exciting about awful teams playing badly
Only epl can make relegation battles entertaining
R.I.P Motty. Sadly lost his life yesterday. Never forget the legendary commentator
RIP M Dog
Norwich need a win and lose 6-0 looool

this is a prime example of why fans matter. WBA didn’t even know they stayed up. no stadium announcement or nothing. it was the fans. the raw started to grow from the terrace and then players/manager/directors knew. i don’t support WBA but that last bit there was a beautiful moment.
RIP John Motson, a legendary commentator to the game.
I'm an Arsenal fan, why is this all of a sudden in my recommended?
Because you guys deserve this
@@ahsanjalal1292 ur joking. NOT ”you guys” its Arsenal.
Uh oh
Whoops
Because in the 20/21 season you’ll get relegated 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Incredible. We were bottom at Christmas. Bottom at the start of the last day. Bottom of the table at half time. Still getting relegated with 5 mins to go….and stayed up.

Teh most epic relegation battle in the premier league history, wasn't it?
I have never seen my club win the national title, but I experienced them surviving on the last day of the season three years in a row. It is pure bliss.
It was a time when the EPL was less omnipresent around the world, but everyone that played FIFA 06 would remember this relegation battle (to the sound of Bloc Party's Helicopter).
It was less glamorous but had more soul
It was prime Fifa 05 career mode blasting The Street's fit but you know it. Good times.
the good ole days when Middlesbrough were considered a 4 star team and we blasted My Friend Dario when it came on the tracklist (but always skipped the Oasis song)
@@glifosfato Gosh, the comeback against Steaua in the UEFA semis... Bloody Maccarone!
When Fifa playlists were actually good.
What a great PL year that was. Liverpool won the CL, Mourinho’s won the league on his first year at Chelsea, breathtaking relegation battle. Those were the days!
rip john motson what a great commentator very iconic voice
Jeeze, can't believe that was 15 years ago, time flies!
Always really liked that Fulham team, had some top players in it.
Fulham had Brian McBride;first American player to succeed in EPL.
Yep, a lot of good players. McBride was on top form here 👍 Also the only player to score for the USA in France '98.
RIP Papa Bouba Diop 🙏
This is exactly the reason why i love Premier League. The battle is happening everywhere. On the champions league zone, europa league zone and even the relegation zone.
100%
West Brom fans like me remember where we were on that day. And it may take a sequel to "The Great Escape" to keep us up in the Premier League for next season...
I'm watching this a few days following Papa Bouba Diop's passing. 😔
It was an amazing last day. As others have said, as a Pompey fan I did not mind losing to WBA at all as it meant Southampton went down.
Made no difference you dopey skate, Saints us to beat united but didn’t, that’s the only result that mattered to us that day.
@@LatviasMichaelOwen a draw would have been fine if it went well, a win turned out to be necessary in the end though
The simple joy of watching goals go in and then not having to wait 5 minutes to see if they'll be disallowed or not because a shoelace is offside.
I know what you mean, but imagine your team getting relegated due to a horrible wrong decision that can not get fixed.
@@Meltrikz yeah but the offside rules today are absolute bollocks. There should be a tiny grace distance at least and it should be done by eye instead of using a 1000x zoom in camera to check if a leg hair was offside
@@Meltrikz The decisions are still wrong the majority of the time mate ...probably way more than before . var is a joke
"I don't like the game being more fair because I have the attention span of a chimpanzee"
@@gort5516 it's not about that. it's about being able to comfortably cheer with a goal instead of having to wait a few seconds or even minutes
It's been 15 years since this happened but I was glued to it the entire time. That is the magic of football.
And now cant wait from Sheffield United to do a great espace in 2020-21 season
6:52 love this commentary, he's properly engaged in the game and you don't hear things like this anymore it seems 😢
I was at the hawthorns that day. Unbelievable scenes at the end of the game.
Ill never forget motsy. Was first introduced to his voice on the world cup 98 game i had on computer all those years ago. RIP you bute!
Guy Mobray's voice is iconic.. hasn't changed even now lol
All of 4 commentators featured here have become legendary and iconic now
The best era of football imo. The game wast becoming fast and exciting yet there was still a decent amount of physicality and grudges between teams adding an edge. Great times
I do miss the physicality, if only for the evenness of games. You can kinda run people over now by simply being faster/quicker but back then, you could use some steel to even it up.
Peak premier league 2000-2008 imo
Crazy how at a certain point in the day, each of the 4 teams was safe. Gotta love European football and the relegation/promotion system
Southampton conceding goals from winning positions is one of the most enduring memories of this battle for me, they did it all season seemingly
yeah they did Middlesbrough 2-1 up concede a last gasp Stewart Downing equaliser, Everton same detail 2-1 up as a clock hits 90 concede a last minute Marcus Bent equaliser but the killer was the Villa game 20 minutes down 2-0 up but collapse in the second half and lose 3-2. Palace were just as guilty against Southampton the previous week 2-1 up against 10 men after Crouch got sent off but concede a last minute Higgingbotham equaliser.
Andy Johnson what a baller. Forgot all about him but he was absolutely lethal at Palace for a minute
Aj Palace legend and still works for the club i think 🤔 👍
he was better at falling over in the box and then scoring the resulting cheated penalty. yes he was very good at that
This is the most exciting relegation battle I've seen in all of the Premier League,why nobody had been relegated for the last game
what about the 2009/2010 one
Because all 4 of them were equally awful throughout the rest of the season
As painful as this was as a Palace fan, this was a great final day
The 2023 relegation fight gives me 205 vibes
When english football had a soul
nah the soul had been long gone. Leicester put the soul back in English football and it still has it
@@roadtodawn8088 No it doesn't. English football is dead.
When English football had no social media
@@ps5stuffguy exactly
And Gary Linekar wasn't a preaching, virtue signalling ✊
As a Norwich fan, the writing was on the wall that day. I'd put it right up there with losing 7-1 to Colchester United. The team just didn't turn up that day or that season.
Coronations, what have you done to me? I'm getting emotional watching the scenes of, not only a team I don't support, but seeing CROWDS of people celebrating, or stressing, as one......those were the days.......
Rip john motson, iconic voice
0:27 £25 million extra for staying up in the premier league back then! Now it’s like £100+ mill. No wonder teams in the championship are accumulating huge losses at a chance of the promotion roulette wheel cos they know going up will cover that debt
My team went up but got relegated after 2 seasons we’ve changed ownership and we’ve spent no money at all and it looks like us being in the premier league has put us in debt
@@bradleydearnley7364 which team is this?
Tom Bardsley probably Huddersfield
Yeah huddersfield we are worse off now I remember when before the premier league it didn’t seem fair that relegated teams got loads of parachute payments but now we’ve been relegated It doesn’t seem like we have any money no know outside of the club knows what’s going on
@@bradleydearnley7364 think that's cos the owner pocketed the premier league money for themselves especially with the minimal spend on the team in trying to stay up
That goal by Papa Bouba Diop though 👌. R.I.P big man.
thank you for your great work, this channel is awesome
Gabor Kiraly's legendary tracksuit trousers.
Amazing it's videos like these that make me wish that we had a promotion/relegation system here in the US.
I've watched American coverage of football (i.e. soccer) games. Don't always watch it, but good to listen to it from time to time.
"Never relegated as a manager, he's staring into the abyss now" idk why but that quote gives me chills specially when the camera was on harry redknapp
When Bournemouth were relegated in 1990 I think you'll find that their manager was Harry Redknapp....
I still remember this day. Amazing
Remember the times when the stands were full of people? God, I miss those days. Watching football just isn't the same without the fans screaming from the stands.
@David Lim Thanks, Captain Obvious.
@@horsepower523 not only football, any other sport feel lacking without spectators
The fans were more authentic as well. Now, just a bunch of people on their phones. Don't blame them, football isn't as interesting anymore.
@@johnrazna2381 Because the players only care for money
Thanks for uploading this! I was there at the Hawthorns that day and will never forget it. Had absolutely zero expectations staying up but football has a funny habit of throwing up the most unlikely.
I’m watching an Arsenal video why is this in my recommended

The quality of these matches seems so much higher than today.

Thank you for the upload. Ah memories.
West Brom Were The 1st Top Division Team In England To Stay Up After Being Bottom At Christmas Since 1991 And The 1st Since The Premier League Was Formed In 1992. Usually The Team At The Bottom Of The The Table At Christmas Gets Relegated But West Brom Will Always Be The 1st Premiership Team To Do It, Since It Was Formed In 1992. Sunderland, Leicester And Wolves Have Done It Since And The Following Year Leicester Went On To Win The League. It Doesn't Happen Too Often Though. Only 4 Teams Have Done It Since 1992 And They Were The 4.
Ian Dowy‘s bewildered face 😂
this channel is gift from heaven, the quality is immense. thank you
Absolutely brilliant end to a PL season... And I say that as a Palace fan. Not good for us obviously but watching this back in 2020, it had a bit of everything. For the neutrals, this must have been the best final day they have and will ever see.
I knew before watching this or checking the table for that season that Norwich were absolutely getting relegated and having now seen the video by fuck did they do it with style
Love the retro MOTD highlights, proper nostalgic
Thank you so much for uploading this
I am a young football fan, but I can feel the nervousness the excitement the joy and the tear everywhere around England
For those coming to this video who maybe weren't born when this happened - or aren't old quite enough to remember the specifics - West Brom staying up meant they became the first team in Premier League history to avoid relegation after being bottom of the table on Christmas Day. No team in Premier League history had achieved that up to this point. It's since happened three times (Sunderland in 2014, Leicester in 2015, Wolves in 2023) but it's always important to remember the first.
Wolves didn't count they weren't Bottom final day and had moved away far before then Leicester and Sunderland hadn't. Wolves were safe in January 2024 and Leicester were safe before the final day, Sunderland were the closest, West Brom's is a true Great Escape as we were gone until then

Wow I didn't know Southampton had been in the top division for 27 years! Having started watching the Premier League in 2004, in my mind the Saints have always been a bottom of the table yo-yo team switching between the divisions.
That might be their destiny
It was basically Matt Le Tissier keeping them up. He was club captain for 25 of those 27 yrs
RIP John Motson. Absolute icon.
