Can see an argument for Everton but certainly not the other two. Definitely a snide way to make sure the current voting (14 out of 20) gets vetoed. I still think it's a shocking plan

What about Villa and Newcastle ? They have been in the Premiership more seasons than West Ham and Southampton. In fact longer than Man City. 
Whilst googling the above, I checked out which teams have had just one season in the top tier, not just Premiership. There are six teams, three that are in my memory and three not so easy. Anyone get them without google assistance ?

It was explained on the BBC that those additional clubs were listed due to time served in the top tier, in recent times. Not saying it is right but that was the explanation.

Barnsley
Swindon Town
Carlisle
Oxford
Can't even guess at any others, well I could but I don't think random guesses are the point of this, mine are educated guesses ?. Good pub quiz question ?
Carlisle and Oxford definitely aren't right.. Barnsley a v good shout

Barnsley stayed up iirc. Some pundit said he'd get his head shaved if they stayed up and he got it done in the middle of the pitch ?

Ooooh I like these teasers...but canon's think of 5
1. Oxford
2. Oldham
3. Grimsby
4.Blackpool
5.Barnsley
6.
I'm not going to Google this, too much fun, but surely Joe Royle's team had more than 1 year in the top league? Incidentally, how good was Earl Barret for that period? I remember him being a really quality CB for a few years, never embarrassed.
Grimsby have never been in the Prem. Nor Oxford
Other 3 plus Swindon is what I've got.
For 2x I have Huddersfield and Bradford.
I'm normally quite good at these, I'm leaning towards Rich looking at a dodgy source tbh

Top tier, as in since football began!What about Villa and Newcastle ? They have been in the Premiership more seasons than West Ham and Southampton. In fact longer than Man City.

No idea, but not Blackpool, they were 1st Division in 50’s,
Carlisle were 1st Division in 70’s, I think
Oldham have had more than 1, I think.
Good shouts on: Barnsley and Swindon.
No idea on who else, but could be a Club from the early 1900’s, ie
Accrington Stanley, Bishop Auckland, etc. Come on Rich!
