EPL 2020/2021

@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)

@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

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)

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

Oh yeah, I forgot about them

[Rapido]

I'd already said one page back that Ipswich came 5th. Proof you fluffybunnies don't read my posts.

Ipswich is listed as one of the 14 teams by @KiwiPie.

Wimbledon (6th in 1993/94)

Southampton is one, the others aren't. Southampton were 6th in 2015/16.

Answer to Number 1 is Arsenal. 24 seasons from 1995/96, consecutive top 4 for 20 of those seasons. United got to 21 seasons from the first until Moyes. Chelsea's best is 19 until Mourinho Mark 2. Best current streak is City at 12, the last 11 all top 4. Spurs were at 11 until this season.

[Bovidae]

Wolves are one of the top 6 teams.

Edit: They finished 7th so not them.

[Kiwiwomble]

@kiwipie QPR?

edit:i gave up and looked it up :man_shrugging_light_skin_tone:

[KiwiPie]

Not Wolves but yes QPR were 5th in the inaugural EPL season.

1. Bolton (6th in 2004/05)
2. Wimbledon (6th in 1993/94)
3. Southampton (6th in 2015/16)
4. QPR (5th in 1992/93)
