Could these be the worst two clubs in the Prem? Man City with their recent cash are buying players simply to impress others rather than build a decent team, and because they think it's fashionable they got themselves an Italian manager with floppy hair. They are the club equivalent of that dustman who won the lottery. Stoke must be the most boorish team in the whole league, they simply bully their way through each game, and what's their only bit of flair? A long throw. They most have the only supporters that go apes*** when they get a throw-in.

Nottingham is smaller.............
That would depend on what stats you believe and what you define as Nottingham and Stoke on Trent.

I take it then that you didnt see Stokes goals on Sunday,not 1 came from a long throw.as for no flair they play with 2 wingers & while they do play the long ball game they are by no means the boorish side you make them out to be

I didn't see the goals but I've just watched the highlights. They are all decent goals but you've got to admit none are a result of any kind of build up. I'm not particularly anti-Stoke but I'd struggle to think of a duller club in the prem - perhaps Everton or ironically Bolton. To me Stoke are basically a typical Championship team that have over stayed their welcome, a bit like Birmingham and Wigan. Who do you think are more boorish than Stoke?

every team that is currently in the Prem are there on merit just because they are'nt classed as a "big club" or dont play "proper football" doesnt mean they should'nt be there.As for who i think are more boorish than Stoke how about Blackburn & the medias darling Newcastle

I am friends with a Mother in Law of a Stoke City who is currently on loan elsewhere & from what I've been told Tony Pulis doesn't suffer fools gladly & rules his dressing room through fear & borderline bullying allegedly

Do you know what "Nemesis" means?
A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent personified in this case by a sex starved voyeur that is Tyro.

So does that mean you think Blackburn v Newcastle would be the worst prem FA Cup final? I can see your point but I still Man City v Stoke is worse. Blackburn were the Stoke of a few years ago, but have got a bit better lately even though they are in free fall since appointing their physio as manager. It's a good job that didn't work as a cost cutting exercise or DC would probably have been looking to appoint Clarence to save some money. Newcastle are the equivalent to a cheap American day time soap but still play some reasonable football. I don't agree entertaining football is related to the size of the club, Chelsea for all their millions play some thuggish stuff whereas West Ham and Wigan (who I did have a pop at earlier) are far more watchable. Even Blackpool, who are struggling to stave off the inevitable drop haven't resorted to dour tactics. To be more positive, how about the best teams for a Cup final? I reckon Aston Villa v West Ham would be pretty good.

It's all a matter of opinion but for you to be calling a team who played at Wembley in an FA Cup semi and beat their opponents 5-0, they must have something about them, especially when none of their goals came from their trademark long throws.

Fair enough, but a the risk of repeating myself they weren't particularly creative goals either. Again, i'm not especially anti-Stoke and it's all relative, who do you think are a more boring side to watch in the Prem?

Boring is very subjective, I look at matches probably from a different perspective from you, as you probably do from others. I have watched some really 'not so entertaining' high scoring matches where on the other hand seen some really good and exciting 0-0's. Whichever side or match I watch and at all levels, from park play to Internationals I always find something good and/or interesting about the overall play. Giving a team a boring tag shows that your overall understanding of football is probably limited to either ball watching at live games or watching on TV which doesn't reveal a lot of what goes on the field of play that doesn't happen in the immediate vicinity of the ball. Watch matches with a positive aspect on your viewing and even those involving Stoke and others that you put into a similar category, you may start to enjoy those 'boring' games as well. Having re-read this, I believe that it sounds very condescending, apologies but it isn't meant to be.

Ok, bearing that in mind, If you had a table of the clubs in the Prem in order of entertaining football, who would be least top?
