Premier League clubs ranked by entertainment value; Man Utd higher than mid-table Arsenal
We all have a limited time on this earth so why spend any of those precious minutes watching boring football matches? Unless you happen to be an unfortunate fan of one of the most boring teams in the league, you have free will to pick and choose the football games you want to watch.
So the next time you're debating which teams to commit to, let us rank every Premier League team by entertainment… 20) Manchester City At the risk of subjecting ourselves to the ire of City fans on Twitter/X, there is a reason. Yes, City do have a lot of fun players to watch such as Rayan Cherki, Iliman Ndiaye and Erling Haaland, but it all just feels so pointless right now.
While the appeal is pending, City games just feel like they don't really exist, a bit like playing FIFA on the easiest mode then telling everyone how you won the Champions League with Yeovil. Your view on City will depend on how much you are able to separate on-field and off-field but the fakeness of it all means it is hard to be entertained by anything you are watching.
19) Sunderland Sunderland have been a very tough watch this season. A European campaign has taken a lot of their attention and seemingly all of their energy, with their Premier League performances suffering as a result.
They've got one point from the three games that followed European fixtures and they simply don't score goals. They've averaged less than one a game and even those numbers areskewed by Brian Brobbey's hat-trick at City.
They also ship almost two goals a game but not even in a funny way that makes them enjoyable. 18) Newcastle United Initially, Newcastle were quite fun to watch thanks to the tactics of chaos introduced by Matthias Jaissle but after they shipped nine goals in three games, the manager has rather annoyingly tried to stop that.
The result now is some dreadfully dull games and anyone who sat through the 1-0 defeat to Everton on Monday can testify to that. To make it even more tedious, Newcastle are awful at trying to score goals.
Their usual tactic is give it to Harvey Barnes and hope he can curl it into the top corner, but that runs into the undeniable fact that he is only Harvey Barnes. Against Everton, they had 17 shots from all over but only managed two on target, both of which were straight down the middle.
It's just boring and a Jacob Ramsey head loss is the only thing you can enjoy watching.
