Only team to never have been relegated I believe.
Everton.
Everton have been relegated twice. The first time, they had Dixie Dean in the team.

Everton have been relegated twice. The first time, they had Dixie Dean in the team. I think Everton's claim, if I'm not mistaken, is most seasons played in the top flight. I know they also used to have the record of most FA Cup semi appearances but that was probably 30 years ago now, so I expect United or Arsenal have eclipsed that.

They have played all but 4 seasons in the top division, since the formation of the League in , no other club comes close to this. They are the only team of the original 12 to have maintained full membership of the Football League since the beginning i.e. they have never dropped below the second tier. An Evertonian of my acquaintance uses this as the basis for his claim that they are the senior club in world football! Not the oldest, not the most successful but the senior member of the oldest league in the world.

Brighton were relegated in the mid 80's. It's Bournemouth cos they're still on their first visit to the top league.

I once won a bet from someone who claimed that, I pointed out Town beat them with Metcalfe getting 4 headers from Glazzard crosses in Div.2 in the 50's.

No, but I know what I meant, by the way I'm "only" 56, so it's well before my time, but I could remember seeing a photo of one of the headed goals and slthough the ball was on its way into the net Glazzard was still up above the crossbar - I remembered we had dicked them, 8-2 and it was a Div.2 game but the person I was arguing with was adamant, 100% certain that Everton hadn't been relegated.

High maintenance plus a bit shit = interest from a 'top' Turkish club. Every time.

Top Turkish club been interested in me and I stopped playing years ago, much the same as Terence? 🤪🤪🤪
Her indoors is good at haggling so I will put her forward to negotiate his move?
Not sure what the club will do with a few thousand fake handbags and Rolex watches but it's better than him sitting in the stand?

I once won a bet from someone who claimed that, I pointed out Town beat them with Metcalfe getting 4 headers from Glazzard crosses in Div.2 in the 50's. Andy. The best ever football bet is "endings to clubs" I have won hundreds of pounds on that bet and I have only met one person who got all the answers in the allotted time. Back in the Summer I asked 6 lads all from the local football club to put a tenner in each and I would cover the bet. I won. The question. Name the 22 endings to football clubs in the top 4 divisions eg. City, Town, United etc within 10 mins. Even if you say 5 mins young lads are super confident they can get them all. After 30 mins and collecting the money I had to tell them the last 2. There are no tricks its a genuine question. See if you can do it without looking at league tables. The younger the lads you bet against the better as they are woefully informed about clubs in League's one & Two.

The correct spelling is prima donna Nick. No need for capitals either. It means first lady in Italian,although it has come to mean something else when used in English, and as foreign words they should strictly speaking be in italics.
