Seeing the post about Steve Evans being sacked is another reminder of how a once huge Premier League club can free fall. It got me thinking... Which teams, at their peak would make it into the top 20 sides to have played in the Premier League and do we make it.... In my opinion, of course we do. My top 20, ranked 1-20. I've also chosen sides on entertainment value, not just success.
1 Utd (sad but true)
2 Arsenal
3 Chelsea
4 Liverpool
5 Spurs
6 Man city
7 Newcastle
8 Leeds
9 Villa
10 West Ham
11 Blackburn
12 Stoke City
13 Southampton
14 Sunderland
15 Bolton
16 Wimbledon
17 QPR
19 Notts Forest
20 Fulham
There's some huge clubs not in there but for me, they are probably the best 20 sides at there peak to have played in the Premier League.

Somewhere today I have seen a list of the amount of TV money each club has earned since the PL was formed. Amazingly, we are comfortably in the top 20 - actually 14th. I'll try to find the link. here it is! |

I chose Wimbledon, Fulham and QPR as when I was growing up, they just always seemed to be there and had some interesting players, Vinnie Jones, Trevor Sinclair etc. Some good early PL memories. WBA, Wednesday and Brum probably should be in there but bar missing Everton out by mistake I chose my favourites. |

I'll try to find the link. here it is!Very interesting. Just shows how long Leeds, Forest and other big clubs have been out of the big time and also how ridiculous TV money has become. Be interesting to see a table of amount of time/games played in the prem in comparison to money earned. |

Mate, I have to say that is a terrible list. Shockingly inaccurate. |

I've actually found a list based on league position since the PL was formed. Stoke were 30th. I've just listed my fav 20 teams at their peak |

Bolton's best side (Kevin Davies, Okocha 2004-06ish era) is better than the best Stoke side.
Southampton would say their best side is better than best Stoke side. As would Blackburn (they won it) and Forest who finished 3rd I think 1 year

Good find. I was more interested in people's opinion of their fav all time PL sides. Maybe I should have worded the thread better. Oh well. Was a first attempt |

We should be in the Top 20 in the first table by the end of this season and then with a few more under our belt (fingers crossed) we will be in the second one as well. Incredible that we are now effectively 24th best Premier League side overall. And one of less than 8 to never be relegated from the Premier League? |

One thing I hate about that table is that it is supposed to be an all time Premier League table and yet MK Dons are on it.  To elaborate - even MK Dons have now accepted that their "history" (pre setting up shop in Milton Keynes) belongs to AFC Wimbledon. |

Damn you all time Prem table. |

would find it interesting to compare... In that case I may knock you one up when I'm back from my hols. However, there is one shown on one of the links that is probably about right. Only issue is we come in about 22/23 I think and that would need amending. |
