Have Nottingham Forest been in? They were big back in the days of the Cloughs

@kiwipie said in EPL 2020/2021:

Notts County were relegated the season before EPL started so we are not one of the 50

I was going to mention this but didn't want to bring up bad memories.

On a similar tangent, which club has been in the EPL and now fallen the farthest?

[dogmeat]

@canefan first 5 years I did a quiz on this yesterday

All EPL Teams Ever

Name all the teams that have ever appeared in the English Premier League since its introduction in 1992.

I got 44/50

[dogmeat]

@bovidae Swindon?

[canefan]

Amazing that Luton have never been in. They were prominent for a few years back in my childhood

[dogmeat]

@canefan If they had they'd be the answer to @Bovidae 's question for sure

[Bovidae]

@dogmeat I don't know the answer myself but Bolton were in League 2 this season.

[dogmeat]

@bovidae Swindon were relegated to L2 last month. This will be their 4th stint at that level since the glory days of 93-94

[KiwiPie]

I'm not sure if any EPL teams have fallen out of the league - Notts the closest to doing it. Technically Wimbledon became MK Dons and so didn't fall out of the league.

I reckon these clubs have reached League 2 after being in the EPL

Blackpool
Bolton
Bradford
Coventry
Oldham
Portsmouth
Swindon
Wimbledon (via MK Dons)

[Kiwiwomble]

@kiwipie that does get interesting, the legal entity become MK dons but the majority of the fan base moved to AFCW and reformed in the combined counties so well out of the league

[dogmeat]

As a complete digression my 7th Form took over a school assembly and among dishing out awards, ransoming a teacher and other things we sang the Womble song. I was wearing my mothers bridal gown.

Too much Python I reckon

Right as you were...

@kiwipie Honourable mention to Blackburn - EPL Champs to mid L1 and Forest Champions of Europe to twice spending time in the 3rd tier

Some quizzing for you on the EPL since it started.

1. Which team has the longest consecutive run of top 6 finishes?

2. 20 teams have had a top 6 finish in the EPL. Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle, Leeds, Aston Villa, Blackburn, West Ham, Ipswich, Leicester are 14 of them. Name the other 6 without looking it up.

3. If the top 6 each season were given the points 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 for positions 1-6, list the top 10 clubs in order. (The top club has 218 points and the 10th has 20 points)

@kiwipie Wimbledon

[KiwiPie]

Not Chelsea for most consecutive top 6.

1. Bolton (6th in 2004/05)
2. Wimbledon (6th in 1993/94)

Assuming the consecutive streak isn't current, Arsenal under Wenger had a long run in the top 4/6.
