Villa are fifth most successful Premiership team
By: Martini Extra Dry | October 9th, 2008
We may not have won the league for almost 30 years and we’ve NEVER won the Premiership but we are still the fifth best team to have ever graced it. The Premiership is now in it’s 17th season, beginning in 1992, and was originally composed of 22 teams, which is now down to 20 due to FIFA regulations. Alongside the current 20 teams, a total of 42 teams have competed in the Premiership during it’s existence.

As you can see, we’re a VERY long way from catching the top four but the two teams below us are both currently sitting in the relegation zone, so we’re fairly safe in fifth. We are also one of only 7 teams to have been ever present since the Premiership’s inception.
The large part of the animosity many hold towards Villa comes from our many years as a boring team for neutrals to watch. This unfortunately is hard to deny, even for the most die-hard Holte-Ender, just take a look at our record smashing 188 draws!
Isn’t it good to have some proof that, although still not ‘top four’, we are definitely a ‘big club’.
