aaid Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Really, who's in there that you wouldn't expect to be in and who do you think's missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfield Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Every week we sing "We're the greatest team in football the world has ever known", so there's clearly a mistake somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surround Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 didn't know Sunderland were so consistent for so long. Both Sheffield teams a lot better historically than I expected (Wednesday still in the top 12 until early 2000s). West Brom surprising to me too.

Toepoke Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Leeds must have nosedived down the table in recent years. Didn't realise Glossop once had a team in the top league! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland were once the wealthiest club in England, or at least spent the most money. So much so they were known as the Bank of England club.

Aye - in our lifetime I can remember a quiz question growing up about most FA Cup winners and Newcastle was the answer and i believe that stuck until the late 70s early 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa had the most wins from the 50s until Spurs caught up with them in the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan cake Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Heard one of the commentators saying during the wolves game that they could become the first team to win the trophy in 3 different centuries, love a good stat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that might be right - Villa were definitely top winners when I was a kid, but I think Newcastle have a particularly impressive record for being runners-up at things. To be fair, I think they've won a few trophies in their time but most appearances sounds right for that period of history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad how much money both teams got from the premiership but are totally inadequate to deal with the championship. We got battered by Preston and their side cost over ten times less than ours to assemble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad how much money both teams got from the premiership but are totally inadequate to deal with the championship. We got battered by Preston and their side cost over ten times less than ours to assemble I think the EPL has the capacity to eat teams alive once they hit trouble. Last season was soul-destroying for us. We had a poor early transfer window, not helped by our chairman who developed a fairly serious illness. The upshot was once we started losing, the whole club just fell apart. What we’ve been left with is a core of players who are willing to work (half of which are injured) & about £40+m worth who can’t be arsed. The Cowleys have basically said they’re finished but until we offload them & hopefully cash in on Mooy as well, we’re scratting around to get a reasonable team together. I'm confident they’ll build a half decent team but don’t see us getting anywhere near those dizzy heights any time soon. Which I’m not altogether unhappy about.

Newcastle actually drew level with Villa and Blackburn on 6 FA Cup wins in 1955, but Villa moved ahead of both with their 1957 success.
