Which team has been in the top flight of English football without winning the title?

Answer 1

I think that's either Everton or Arsenal. I can't remember which but I know there's not that much in it. Even the mighty Manchester United suffered the indignity of relegation during the 1970s. In fact the answer is 'Arsenal' with Everton coming second. Fact..... when Arsenal celebrated 60 years of being in the top flight Everton were celebrating only 24 years.....what a gap ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The truth is Arsenal have the longest unbroken run, However as founder members of the football league and only spending 3 years out of top flight you will find its Everton who are 131 years old this year, so 128 years in top flight!

Answer 2

Everton. Founder member of the League, they've spent over 100 seasons in the top flight and only four seasons out of it. The longest unbroken run is Arsenal's - they've been in the top division since 1919.

Answer 3

Arsenal FC are the longest surviving and the second longest serving team in the top league is Everton FC (Wigan as mentioned were NOT even in the top division in 1995 so the statement by another member is incorrect).

Ahem, Arsenal were relegated in 1913 after finishing bottom, and were elected into the First Division in 1920 after finishing 5th (the division expanded by two teams to 22).

One team has yet to be relegated from the top division: Wigan Athletic. (Actually Wigan were playing in the third division in 1995 when Dave Whelan purchased the club so how is that possible?)

Answer 4

Liverpool

=========================

Liverpool have been relegated. The only team never relegated from the top division are Wigan Athletic. Promoted in 2005.

Currently in danger of relegation.

Answer 5

The team to be in the top flight of English football and not win the cup is Aston Villa.

Answer 6

Arsenal - they've been ever present in the top flight since 1919. Everton have played the most top division seasons (this is their 108th).

Answer 7

Arsenal FC since 1919 and Everton since 1954 are the two longest serving teams in the top league of English Football.
