Great video, Alfie! I'm brazilian and a Fluminense supporter, so It's really nice to see the 2009's escape been remenbered! It was a perhaps the biggest rollercoster of emotions I've experienced as a fan, since the relegation seemed unavoidble at some point! I really love how much this channel makes the effort to look football (historically and currently) outside of Europe! It's not common for english Football channels and I really appreciate It! 😁 Oh, and I have a video suggestion to make, If it is possible: you could talk about, from a englishman perspective, which individual award is more prestigious and has the fairest criteria - the Ballon D'or x The Fifa Best Player Award (today known as FIFA The Best). It's funny, 'cause from a Brazilian perspective, the FIFA award' is normally more renowned, for being the more "official one" from Football's main Entity. The Ballon D'or got more well known around here arguably in the last two decades, since it was exclusively for Europeans up until 1995. To me, It seems the France Football award is more important, due to It's tradition. I'd like to hear Alfie's opinion on this topic. Greetings!

​@@gabdie7188 It was in the stoppage time of the play-off tie vs Karlsruhe in 2014-15...And it was 2nd leg, away game in Karlsruhe 😱 They were in knockdown and with one leg in Bundesliga 2. when Marcelo Diaz scored that free-kick in 92nd minute. Later in the extra time, they scored another goal for 1-2 lead. And in the second extra-time, Karslruhe had a penalty but HSV goalkeeper saved it, with huge help from captain Rafael van der Vaart, who pointed out with his arm to goalkeeper to which side he should go. And he was right 😮😎 They really had some demonic strength and luck which prevented them from going down, for years. They were in constant, horrible relegation trouble since around 2010-11, and except for one season, they regularly were finishing in 14th, 15th and 16th place (play-off relegation place). I think they never finished higher than 13th place. It lasted until 2018 when they ran out of luck, and finished 17th. And from that, they don't have any luck and for about six seasons they are finishing on 3rd or 4th place in second league, every year narrowly missing promotion to Bundesliga. Luck is really a strange thing. What goes around, comes around...But we will back to Bundesliga 1. very soon and we will stay there forever because we belong there...We will be stronger than ever.

I remember that 13-14 season very well. It was the season of the Gerrard slip. But really, that slip made people forget it was actually Chelsea who blew it big time, losing to Villa, Sunderland, and Palace, and drawing at home to Norwich in their final 7 games. 10 points dropped and they finished 4 points behind City for the title. But I also remember thoroughly enjoying that Sunderland rescue. I remember watching their game at the Etihad like it was yesterday... Fernandinho scored after 2 minutes and it looked like it would be a classic City rout at home. but Sunderland hung on, got to halftime at just 1-0 down, wickham scored 2 second half goals and they would've won the game had Vito Mannone not spilled a shot from Samir Nasri. Nasri then had a great chance to win the game and missed. As much as their win at Stamford bridge hurt, it was mightily impressive. Jose Mourinho hadn't lost in his first 70-something home league games in charge of Chelsea, and again Sunderland conceded early, and again they came back and this time hung on to win. Mark Schwarzer spilled a rebound and Azpi brought down Altidore late in the game and borini scored on the ensuing penalty. What a mental season that was. The prem is not the same without Sunderland's miracle escapes.

Do 7 Near Misses Ie. where a big team narrowly avoided the drop, or a team's form collapsed mid-season and they ended up in a relegation scrap

[@saxpackabs]

My Great Escape is West Brom 04/05. These ones are better, but I remember it being the first time a team bottom of the league at Christmas was able to avoid the drop.

9:01 I literally JUST accidentally deleted my FIFA career mode save with Frankfury, this was pain😭

[@rodrigorodriguesdelgado.9674]

make a saving slot with the name Frankfurt, and ALWAYS save the carrer mode with them on that slot.

The history of San Marino football would be interesting... Like surely the government doesn't give them funding to help the team get better

With a population size so small, like 30000, what would you have them do?

What you can do with 30k people

[@areebsiddiqui758]

30k people in the country lad, its a surprise they have a football team at all.

[@insertgenericusernamehere2402]

@@areebsiddiqui758 still would be an interesting video...

[@areebsiddiqui758]

@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 Not really, if you're picking a men's national team then you have the choice of 15000 people but when you remove kids and older people that probably leaves 5000. Now how many of those 5000 people would even be interested in football at all. Can't really make much of a national team if you're picking from a pool as large as your local neighborhood. Nothing else to it. No point wasting a video on that.

Brilliant Diva von Main. Was there and caught on video. You needed yo start with the 2-2 with HSV

[@MJMilz14]

I'd have been tempted to include Barnsley from last season. 5 points from safety and bottom of the league with only 2 to play against Forest and Brentford who were both going for promotion. Injury time winners in both, and other results going their way, they stayed up with almost the last kick of the season, and in the 8 months since have gone from relegation certs to genuine promotion contenders.

[@Kuy91]

We survived due to Wigan’s administration should have gone down that year looks like we’re going down anyway

Can you do '7 defenders who are better at finishing than Britt Assombalonga'?

Imagine making a avoiding relegation video and not include the Hamburger SV

[@lakinther7183]

STANNIS IS PROUD

[@TrequartistaTV2.]

Always think Aston Villa’s escape from relegation last season gets overlooked because of the pause in football. Completely different team after the restart and looked doomed before.

[@thorbain8526]

Or the fact they should have been relegated if the right technologies were working

[@Luckymag-if4dw]

the thing that makes the first one even harder is that, besides the brazilian league being easily the most even sided of the worlds top 10 leagues, 4 teams get relegated out of the 20 there, meaning Fluminense had to climb from 20th to 16th being 15 points behind the 16h place with 12 games left, not even counting the other 3 teams above then in the relegation zone. It was indeed true, they were matematically 99% relegated, but hey that's football, although I don't think something like that to that level will ever happen again though. They are still one of the 4 brazilian clubs to not be relegated since the turn of the century thanks to that (together with the 3 that have never been relegated Flamengo, Santos and São Paulo, although Fluminense was relegated in the 90s)

[@shikariE25]

Sunderland were escape heroes all the time. Caught up with them eventually. Di Canio was a psycho. Watch Si Ferry's stories about him on here (youtube). Comedy gold.

[@ΚοσμάςΠαντελίδης]

Zaragoza, about 10 years ago, made a huge comeback. Villareal was relegated.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion or not but Neigel Pearson is one of the most underrated managers in my lifetime at least. He always keeps teams up no matter what without sacrificing on the enjoyment of the game too much like Big Sam and the like.

[@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643]

He managed to keep Carlisle up. Leicester, too.

I was hoping to see the Albion one we was bottom at Christmas and stayed up on the final day
