    The last team was in the EPL as recently as last season.

    Sheffield utd?

    Yes that's the one. I don't think of them as a title winner - although 1897-1898 is a bit early even for me.

    Preston v Burnley was the very first match of the first football league in 1888. Apparently they didn't think about points being awarded until after the game as they wondered how they would rank the teams in the league.

    And not Preston are into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup to play Aston Villa - and those 2 were champions and runners-up in the very first season.

      And Sunderland wanted to be a founder member of the football league but weren't allowed as they were too far away!

          Preston away for us. A big fixture this in the late 19th century.

            For anyone who didn't see this incident on Saturday - feel a bit sorry for the keeper here, he's going to get notoriety for only this.

              That's a bit reckless.

                It's quiz Monday and as we're getting historical. List the 7 clubs that have at any point held the record for most titles won (either solely or jointly). Preston obviously as they won the first one - but can you name the other 6?

                          You've got 6 between you - Preston, Sunderland, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United. One more to get and the most recent club to achieve it although still a long time ago.

                              Actually Everton 1969-70. Took them to 7, level with Man U, Liverpool & Arsenal. Yes, there was a 4 way tie until Arsenal won it in 1970-71 and then Liverpool took over in the 1970s

                                  My favourite football question - old but good

                                  1979: Sunderland
                                  1981: Villa

                                  Who was it in 1980?

                                          I'm pretty sure Beckenbauer did that double.
