Everton longest in Top flight but Arsenal longest in P.L. Not true I'm afraid. Arsenal have 89 consecutive seasons in the top flight, followed by Everton with 61. Since neither have ever been relegated from the PL (yet) they have identical records in that respect. Everton definitely have the most seasons played in the English top flight, not consecutive but the most. |

Yes that's true, but as I made clear from the start Arsenal have the most number of CONSECUTIVE seasons in the top flight. |

You were there? Can I be cheeky and ask how old you are sir? On my profile Born 1940..82 in todays values.  You've seen countless centre forwards over the years. Was Glazzard our best ever? |

Scored more and took two fewer years to bag them. Apparently he was simply awesome.  Played - and scored - for England too.  |

I've nothing much against Everton but it would be a little bit funny at least if they did go down, after losing 2-1 to them in a league cup tie a few years ago i remember an Everton fan asking.."did you enjoy that blah blah blah" as if Everton were high and mighty the patronising twat, well we could be on a level playing field next season if we manage to stay up. Everton fans have been deluded for decades. The glory years of the 1980s are a very long time ago. Will be interesting to see if their new stadium is up and running in time for "lower league football". Sorry, but as someone who goes to Goodison Park a fair amount and has also done a few aways with them in recent years I have to say your comment about delusion is as far wide of the mark as you can get. Everton fans are so self-deprecating they make us lot look like eternal optimists. They're a big club and their fans are certainly aware of that, but they most definitely do not act like they've a divine right to anything. In fact, many have been expecting a period like this for a long, long time. All they ask for is for the owners and players to treat the club and its incredibly loyal support with the respect that it deserves (and that doesn't mean chucking money at shit and hoping that it sticks). You can have a go at the owners, the manager, even some of the players until your heart is content, but I can't accept someone slandering their supporters who are by and large some of the best I've watched the game with in my near 40 years of going to matches. Sorry. |

I hate to burst the bubble of our own success back then, but we were the best of a very very bad bunch. You only have to look at some of the old footage to see what I mean. |

I can't believe that you are going down this road. Unbelievable. But nevertheless, you can only beat - and score against - whatever is put in front of you. I suppose that in fifty years time people will look back and say, yeah, that Man City side which was absolutely rammed with stellar world class international super-athletes; they were crap really because they only ever played other shit sides packed to the gunnels with multi-million pound valued players. Wow. |

Wikipedia is wrong, actually. He was the goalkeeping coach under Peter Jackson (presumably through his links with Terry Yorath) and was playing for Torquay United at the same time. Due to an injury crisis around the time of an F.A. Cup match with Derby County, 'Jacko' tried to loan him from Torquay but the move fell through. Phil Senior ended up on the bench instead. Aaaah, that's what I remember then, the coaching part, which is why I put MAY about on the bench, glad I didn't check Wikipedia first though, though malcolm brown did. I remember seeing him taking up half the dugout, but couldn't remember why  I remember queuing up for a pie at half-time in the Derby cup replay, only to find Big Nev in the queue in front of me and he bought the last ones. |

Everton longest in Top flight but Arsenal longest in P.L. Might have misunderstood your post but there are 6 ever present PL teams? I posted incorrectly .Yes here are 6 teams in PL who have been there since it was created but Everton still the one team that have been in the most times of the top division prior to PL. |

Wow. You're missing the point mate. You began by saying that Brown was better than Glazzard, a player who came along 40 years later. The game had by then improved so much that like for like comparison is impossible. Will it continue to improve at the same rate now (your Man City reference)? No I don't believe it will because it's now reached a level where further improvement is much less likely. I think it's called the law of diminishing returns when you reach a certain point. |

I wasn,t able to compare in those earlier years as my playing of football previously was jumpers for goalposts,but later on my favourites were,in no particular order, Duncan Shearer,Craig Maskell and Frankie.and Rhodes MK1. But I am no judge really. |

It's a bit like comparing apples and pears nutrition experts, state of the art pitches, red cards if you so much as look at the goalie, 5 substitutions, massive squads, of course todays teams would run riot, BUT, play on a mud heap, wet leather ball, no substitutes, goalkeepers barged into the net, leg breaking tackles allowed. It's a different story. |

On one hand we have premierleaguecentric sky that believe they invented football in 1993, but at the same time they're coverage of the lower leagues has been fantastic, althiough i dont watch all the TV games the coverage is second to none. |

Time for Big Sam to save the day They never took to him even though they finished 8th under him, wasnt good enough for them though and a slow downwards spiral ensued which could possibly finish up with them being relegated, strange bunch. |
