    Run your finger along the list of Premier League towns and cities and there’s a glaring omission: Sheffield. The Steel City has a rich football heritage and the only Premier League city with a bigger population is London. Sheffield has a population of around 558,000 and its total metropolitan area is 1.6 million, making it the third largest English district by number of people.
    That statistic frames Sheffield underachievement as a football city, with just 13 major trophies won by its two professional clubs - United and Wednesday.

    It’s absolutely criminal how little our city shouts about its footballing heritage. If it was any other city in the country you’d never hear the end of it. I mean the national football museum being in Manchester tells you all you need to know and I know this might be minor but the intro to England games on ITV has no reference to Sheffield anywhere.

    I’d recommend doing a video on Sheffield United’s tactics under Chris Wilder. The offensive 3-5-2 with overlapping centre backs is innovative and unique, and part of United’s success with a limited budget is due to teams being unable to counter this style of play. Surely it is interesting enough to warrant a video.

    One of these needs to be done for Birmingham. England’s second city, second largest population in Britain too. 6 clubs if you count Wasall, Wolves and West Brom, with Villa and Birmingham in the championship, and Solihull Moors looking likely to be promoted to League 2 this season. Surely, as it’s the first time ever, that Birmingham/the West Midlands arent properly represented in the premier league, with only wolves in it.

    A very insightful video, I am a Sheffield United fan and would love to have the Steel City Derby back in the Premier League, I think Sheffield needs to be invested in sharing the football history of the city and I think that's the reasoning why both clubs are not being appealing to businessmen. I am not saying that having rich owners garments success but once you reach the premier league it helps.

    You can point out PL omissions from many parts of the country, look at the top footballing teams from the early part of the 20th century and you'll see names of places that are in the lower divisions today. A great team in the 1930s or 1970s doesn't equate to a big club today. The rise and fall in fortunes used to be a lot more fluid in the past before massively rich owners bankrolled teams. Look at Manchester City, they were doing absolutely nothing until they got bankrolled.

    Great show & is true a lot of big clubs & huge population in Sheffield area especially if you go by county as Yorkshire is the biggest county. You have Leeds, Middlesbrough, Bradford, Huddersfield, Rotherham & more. A lot of Football Clubs & especially big historic ones.
    United are doing great Wilder as done wonders on a small budget coming up last season on top points & was in top 4 for a while. He is Soong it again this season & playa good football but defensively smart. The Owls are huge too I thought under Carlos they would have gone up but Sam has them looking good talent like Bannam Reach. They have a talented squad & are pushing promotion. But IMO the the top 3 in Norwich Sheff Utd & Leeds deserve to go up.
    I feel for Bradford I like them but they have really suffered since change in owner & went from looking like promotion to relegation battle... Shame good club great FA upset

    This is a decent video although United were not formed in 1899 but in 1889. Onn the last part of the video where it states both clubs/Sheffield will continue to underachieve until both clubs sort out their institutional issues, I actually think the reason both clubs have not established themselves in the Premier League is largely because Wednesday have spent badly, United also to an extent but to establish a club in the top flight requires huge wage bills, bigger than huge clubs from abroad in many cases. Therefore much smaller clubs like Fulham and Bournemouth have done better largely because they have huge benefactors. This is where a wage cap is needed in my view, or we'll continue to see clubs overspend but this won't happen as this will obviously reduce the quality of the Premier League.

    Both clubs have a decent chance of promotion this year. Blades sit pretty in second and the Owls just 2 points of a play off spot, and with superior form going into the final stretch. Wednesday are yet to lose a match in ten played under Steve Bruce. A promotion play off final between the two would be epic.
