Interesting stuff mrh, Bolton look set for a few more seasons as well.

[frag]

Yep, although Charlton's run could be coming to an end...

[Earl Purple]

So far 2001 has been the only season where all the promoted teams survived at least one season (in fact they are all still there) and in 1997 all the promoted teams were relegated back the next season.

There were only 2 promotions in 1995 (thus there being 44 in total).

[Earl Purple]

There are 7 clubs that have played in every premiership season. These are the big 4 (Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea) plus Everton, Tottenham and Aston Villa.

Of those 7 only Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool have been in the top division every season in my lifetime. Chelsea were last in the 2nd tier in 1989, Aston Villa in 1988, Tottenham in 1978 and Man Utd in 1975.

Liverpool were last in the 2nd tier in 1962, Everton in 1954 and Arsenal in 1915. Although Arsenal finished only 5th in 1915 they were nevertheless promoted (not sure why) although they had to wait until after the war to play in the top division.

Call me stupid but I can only see 2 teams that got relegated in 2001, but three teams that were promoted that year...

[Maximo Mark]

Coventry I presume... They'd always been in it. Same with 2005, there's only 2 because Southampton had been in there since it started.
