Weren't Everton considered one of the big 6? I guess they got replaced by Man City at some point. However, Man City have been outside the top division a lot more than the others, Everton especially. |
Yes.
When I was a kid (1980s and early 1990s), there was generally considered to be a Big Five - Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Everton and Tottenham.
People would have laughed if you'd said Chelsea and Manchester City were big clubs, both were regular relegation fodder. |  | | |

Those point totals and goal scoring figures are utterly ridiculous.
Middlesbrough finish bottom with 81 goals scored and a goal difference of only -7.
Bury finish 5th with less goals scored and more defeats than Middlesbrough and don’t even have a positive goal difference! They also won as many games as the champions.
In a relative comparison of positions in today’s PL theres a world of difference between Newcastle and Southampton. Back then, the proverbial fag paper.
That is a competitive and exciting top division compared to the ridiculously unbalanced farce we’ve had to endure for the past eight months.
I bet Sky had a nightmare picking which matches to show on the final day. [Post edited 23 Apr 23:08]

Standard deviation-tastic. It's as though they randomly allocated the players to each team at the start of the season. |  |

R.I.P. Bury FC |
They're on their way back.
Last weekend they had a crowd of almost 9,000 to watch them gain promotion from tier 9. This promotion will put them at the same level as Bury Town. |  |
