Everton: Only Club with Titles in 5 Different Quarter-Centuries
Everton: Only Club with Titles in 5 Different Quarter-Centuries
Here’s another talking point to appeal to potential new American supporters (such as myself) in the wake of Tim Howard’s World Cup heroics. Americans love champions, tradition, consistent success… and statistics. Everton FC has all of these qualities in spades, and the following statistic proves it.
Everton is the only club that has won titles in the top English league in FIVE different quarter-centuries:
1876-1900: title in 1890-91
1901-1925: title in 1914-15
1926-1950: titles in 1927-28, 1931-32, 1938-39
1951-1975: titles in 1962-63 and 1969-70
1976-2000: titles in 1984-85 and 1986-87
The other top clubs have, at most, won titles in four different quarter-centuries:
Manchester United: No titles in 1876-1900 or 1926-1950
Liverpool: No titles in 1876-1900 or 2001-present
Arsenal: No titles in 1876-1900 or 1901-1925
“And if you know the history, It’s enough to make your heart go Woooooooaaaaaaarrrrrrr!!!”
Let’s win a title in a sixth quarter-century soon!

Once every 24 years is the average for an Evertonian to see the top trophy paraded around Goodison Park, but next season would be as good as any to put that situation to rights.

"Everton should have won the title in 2011" - "That lapse is part of Moyes's legacy of failure!" - fucks sake...nothing to do with the 15 years previous either then?
He's been gone a year yet we are still getting these types of posts...

Love it Geoff, nice work

Jesus wept.

I am fully aware that there are winds ups and tongue in cheek posts and that doesn't smell of one, not one little bit.

Not exactly, but there you go. Evidently my posts over the last 11 or 12 years have not registered on the radar of 'one who matters'. And that post by Dennis Stevens is obviously not meant to be taken seriously. You must be the worst type of pedantic humourless dick if you think it is.
You could benefit from one of Eugene's broadsides.

It's called sarcasm, Brian, and I would rather have Dennis confirm that he meant it as a joke than your interpretation to fit in with your rebuke.
Pedantic Humourless Dick!... hmm, I've been called worse.

Fair enough!

Shane #13, I'm also ready to accept whatever dubious dishonour the end of year polls may bestow. Will my post be relegated to a 2nd division website?
