Why Everton are just unlucky? >Everton were champions when the English league got suspended in BOTH World Wars. >Everton won the league in 1984/85 season, just in time for the European ban of English clubs, meaning that Everton couldn’t participate in European competition and the question remains….Would the European Cup gone to Everton in 1986 if they participated? Or 1988 for that matter? (Got that info from a fellow Evertonian, maybe he can email me our FA Cup results since 1880s, lol)
Nice one. Here's some FA Cup stuff: TOTAL GAMES WON Competition proper 1871/72 to 2001/02 CLUB NAME GAMES WON POS Everton 204 1st Aston Villa 201 2nd Liverpool 199 3rd Arsenal 189 4th Manchester United 189 4th Tottenham Hotspur 183 6th Blackburn Rovers 175 7th Sheffield Wednesday 173 8th West Bromwich Albion 173 9th Bolton Wanderers 162 10th WINS TO GAMES PLAYED RATIO Competition proper 1871/72 to 2001/02 CLUB NAME PLYD WON % WIN POS Everton 375 204 54.40% 1st Liverpool 375 199 53.07% 2nd Manchester U 357 189 52.94% 3rd Aston Villa 382 201 52.62% 4th Arsenal 365 189 51.78% 5th Tottenham H 357 183 51.26% 6th West Brom A 349 173 49.57% 7th Swindon T 261 128 49.04% 8th Blackburn R 358 175 48.88% 9th Chelsea 316 152 48.10% 10th We have also appeared in the semi-finals more often than anyone else. But then thats nothing to be hugely proud of.
While we've on a role, here is a our FA CUP FINAL results. 1893: Everton 0-1 Wolves 1897: Everton 2-3 Aston Villa 1906: Everton 1-0 Newcastle United 1907: Everton 1-2 Sheffield Wednesday 1933: Everton 3-0 Manchester City 1966: Everton 3-2 Sheffield Wednesday 1968: Everton 0-1 West Brom 1984: Everton 2-0 Watford 1985: Everton 0-1 Manchester United 1986: Everton 1-3 Liverpool 1989: Everton 2-3 Liverpool 1995: Everton 1-0 Manchester United Champions: 1906, 1933, 1966, 1984, 1995. Its bad knowing that Everton have been in 12 finals and only won 5 of them. I'll never forgive Liverpool for 1986/1989.
Is this fewer seasons out of the top division than any other team that typically plays in the highest division (eg Arsenal, Man U, or Liverpool, etc)?
Re: Re: EVERTON and the English Top Flight!!!!!!! It certainly is my friend and don't you ever forget it!! Everton are by far the most consistent team in England. Although Arsenal have been in the top flight since WW1 we have have called the top division our home for more years than they. (Why can't I add an image. I have added the img tags)
