Branston Pickle 3,706 Posted January 25, 2009 ...was going to say Arsenal - they did the dirty on Spuds to get promoted in 1910 or something, and haven''t been relegated since? If it isn''t them, Villa? They''ve been around yonks and always up there.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,706 Posted January 25, 2009 ...I''m sticking with Villa, think they were one of the initial sides that formed the league and haven''t been out of the top flight all that much, as far as I know... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
