Established Premier League.
How l hate that phrase. All of us, (well maybe apart from the top six), given a certain set of circumstances, wrong results, and a lot of bad luck, are only one short season away from the drop.
Never count your chickens, let's all just be grateful, and enjoy dining at the top table, whilst we can. No one has the diving right to play here.

We will never be recognised as an established Premier League club by the big clubs and their fans.
We are in the same group of clubs that punch above their weight such as Bournemouth, Wigan, Hull, Cardiff etc....
We are not really welcome, we are here for a brief period and the sooner massive clubs like Derby or Sheffield Wednesday return and take our place the better.
Allegedly.
So, of the current Premier League teams, the most established are:
- Everton – 117*
- Aston Villa – 106*
- Liverpool – 105*
- Arsenal – 103*
- Manchester United – 95*
- Manchester City – 91*
- Newcastle United – 88*
- Chelsea – 85*
- Tottenham Hotspur – 85*
- West Bromwich Albion – 81*
- Wolves – 65*
- West Ham United – 62*
- Sheffield United – 61*
- Burnley – 57*
- Leicester City – 53*
- Leeds - 50*
- Southampton – 41*
- Fulham - 27*
- Crystal Palace – 20*
- Brighton – 7*
50 unbroken with a few Cups and European campaigns as well.
Like others I hate the term 'established premier league team'. Every season is an arms race and for the non-big clubs you're only ever one bad season away from the drop. Stoke City finished 9th three seasons running and I'm sure some of their fans began to feel they were 'established' - and then they promptly got relegated.
