Such a non-descript club that spent a load of time in the Premier League, but apart from those who took joy out of them staying up in the Great Escape season - there is nothing memorable about them
I went to the away game there in October, and genuinely can’t tell you much about the fan base, surrounding area or stadium.
Hate to say it, if you were to ask a few general football fans, I reckon we might score quite highly on that list.
I'm too young to remember the Clough years, so I will say Derby County.
I think we would score very highly on that list. We haven't been to a cup semi final since 1947. Our Prem years brought little for the neutral to enjoy. Never made Europe either. I love us though.
Anyway, Coventry get my vote for the dullest. I'm sure until very recently they'd just gone about 40 years without finishing in the top 10 of any division.
We may have been on that list a few years ago but I think the protests, news around the ownership and the ‘limbs’ videos from Wembley have probably given us a glimmer of a profile compared to some other bland clubs on the list
I certainly think we arent popular but getting our ground back, 98 play off, curbs, Darren Bent, model club, youth players, protests, Wembley celebrations, excuse us.
Middlesbrough. A few years of Juninho can’t eradicate a century of boredom, Be careful they’ll pin this thread on the changing room wall to motivate the dullards on Saturday
They're the one team in the league I don't think I could name one single result for them so far, nowhere near the top of the table, not in the relegation zone, signed Josh Magennis, ground's always half empty and in a dull part of the country.
I don’t get the Villa stick. Always think Villa Park sounds loud on tv and they’ve had some decent players over the years. Much better than Birmingham imo.
I grew up in the midlands and Villa are a much bigger club than Birmingham. European Cup winners too. Most of the Villa fans I know are alright. Blues fans are nearly all knob-heads, though.
Is Boro the team we played on Monday Night Football once and neither team had a shot on goal?
There was definitely one where we didn't have a shot all night - Schwarzer was was wearing an all white goalie kit and he looked like walking advert for Daz washing powder at full time. Was embarrassing.
Take away the reputation of the fans and you have Millwall (certainly since the turn of the century). Never exactly been imaginative in the game, nor had any particular innovators.
I suppose their fanbase was bored so senseless large swathes were drawn to violence, in order to make it all a bit more exciting.
The franchise deserve a league all their own in the irrelevant category. Wish they'd move to a smaller ground because stadium MK will always sound like a library. If they didn't beat Man U in the cup a few years ago, there would be nothing to talk about with them
proper guff , pony away numbers generally , generic copy everyone else songs , dull as ditchwater but is that us or boro
All true. In our defence though, our fans, stay at home and musically unoriginal as they may be, have fought as hard for their club’s future as any set of fans. We might not brawl in the street or get wound up in the stands, but you’d want us in the trenches with you.

Dull club in a dull town. Contrived nickname too
Still waiting for someone to beat Reading.

Under Sam Allardyce.
It was like you were watching another sport entirely.
Win ball - hoof ball into corner - win throw / set piece - lob ball into box from set piece. It was total trash.
Forest Green Rovers
Yeovil
Dagenham and Redbridge
Crawley
Coventry is the only answer
