Some quizzing for you on the EPL since it started.

1. Which team has the longest consecutive run of top 6 finishes?

2. 20 teams have had a top 6 finish in the EPL. Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle, Leeds, Aston Villa, Blackburn, West Ham, Ipswich, Leicester are 14 of them. Name the other 6 without looking it up.

3. If the top 6 each season were given the points 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 for positions 1-6, list the top 10 clubs in order. (The top club has 218 points and the 10th has 20 points)

1. Chelsea?
2. Fulham? Bolton? Wigan? Portsmouth?

@kiwipie Wimbledon

Not Chelsea for most consecutive top 6.

1. Bolton (6th in 2004/05)
2. Wimbledon (6th in 1993/94)

wolves

Assuming the consecutive streak isn't current, Arsenal under Wenger had a long run in the top 4/6.

Oh yeah, I forgot about them

I'd already said one page back that Ipswich came 5th. Proof you fluffybunnies don't read my posts.

Ipswich is listed as one of the 14 teams by @KiwiPie.

@kiwipie said in EPL 2020/2021:

Bolton (6th in 2004/05)
Wimbledon (6th in 1993/94)

Southampton is one, the others aren't. Southampton were 6th in 2015/16.

Answer to Number 1 is Arsenal. 24 seasons from 1995/96, consecutive top 4 for 20 of those seasons. United got to 21 seasons from the first until Moyes. Chelsea's best is 19 until Mourinho Mark 2. Best current streak is City at 12, the last 11 all top 4. Spurs were at 11 until this season.

Wolves are one of the top 6 teams.

Edit: They finished 7th so not them.

@kiwipie QPR?

edit:i gave up and looked it up :man_shrugging_light_skin_tone:

Not Wolves but yes QPR were 5th in the inaugural EPL season.

1. Bolton (6th in 2004/05)
2. Wimbledon (6th in 1993/94)
3. Southampton (6th in 2015/16)
4. QPR (5th in 1992/93)

Burnley went extra good about five years back where they finished about 5th 6th or 7th so they might be one of them.

7th in 2017/18

Has anyone said Watford? Reading were decent for a while

We're looking for teams in the 1990s I think.

Watford were 2nd once in the 1980s but not close since. And Reading were never that high I reckon.

The final 2 were in the first 3 seasons.

Charlton? Coventry City?

Forrest

I would never have guessed the team from the 1992-93 season.

No and no.

Both of the 2 remaining teams finished 3rd. For one of the teams it resulted in a famous European victory in the season after and for the other team - they lost to the same team in Europe 2 seasons later.

They were mentioned but not in this context. Forest were 3rd in 1994/95. One to get.

No - not since the 1970s

It can't be Fulham....? They were good back in the Moussa Dembele, Scott Parker days

Bloody work getting in the way of a quiz. The Arsenal question was easy

Coventry?

swansea

NARRICH

Boro?

@dogmeat said in EPL 2020/2021:

Boro?

Said that earlier

WBA?

@dogmeat You should have stopped with your guesses.

@dogmeat said in EPL 2020/2021:

NARRICH

This smells like success

@dogmeat said in EPL 2020/2021:

NARRICH

Yes we have a winner. 3rd in 92/93 then went on to knock Bayern Munich out of the UEFA Cup. Glory days. Ruel Fox went on to star at Newcastle and Chris Sutton won the title with Blackburn and is all over the radio these days.

Complete the rest.
