What was Courtois doing when Chelsea conceded? Baffled me at the time.
This has got to be worst mid season performance by reigning champion in history of football.
I think City got relegated after winning the league in 60s.
I would be surprised if Jose did that, so far in his management career whoever his managed he rarely used his youth team players. He prefers ready made professionals and buys them.At this point Top 4 is gone, if Jose was smart ... He would use the rest of the season to integrate youngsters giving us a solid platform to build on in the summer and return next season where we could concentrate solely on the league without the distractions of CL football

Even further back. 1936-37 they won the league. The year after, they finished second bottom and were relegated. Despite scoring the most goals in the entire league that season.
I was curious so went looking. Only time the English champions have ever gone the year after.
I got the year wrong. It was in 36-37 they were relegated. For some reason I always thought it was in 60s
Honestly never thought it had happened until your post.
There's been teams come close (Leeds the very first Premiership season come instantly to mind); but I honestly never knew an English Champion had been relegated. If you'd of asked, I\d of been throwing up Italian and examples and Marseille who all went from Champions to relegation for, uhmmm, 'different' reasons lol.
This is the end
