Only six clubs have always been prominent in the Premier League era. Five of the 'Big Six' – Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United – Plus Everton have remained in the top 33 years.
As The Guardian noted, the last time Everton suffered the English roads on the relegation, there had no zebra crossings, English cities had no tower blocks, no one had ever been to space and the Beatles had not yet been formed. “
Everton looked a serious danger for the drop earlier this season, but David Moyes turned their fortune to secure their top status.
It seems remote that one of the self-proclaimed 'Big Six' will suffer the same fate if they take into account their enormous turnover but they have all succumbed to relegation in the past.
One of the many myths of the history of Arsenal is that the club has never been relegated – this is not the case. Even worse is that when they went down, it was with one of the worst records ever.
The fatal day on which Arsenal was banned was on April 12, 1913. Prior to this date, they had persisted on the skin of their teeth, especially since Chelsea also had a pretty bad season.
But the side known when Woolwich Arsenal was relegated in the lower place after a 2-1 defeat at Derby.
If there was a positive to be gained from the loss against Derby, it was that they were not sent because of the result of the next match and 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane.
Arsenal, with the help of a number of pretty private tactics, was promoted after the First World War at the expense of Spurs and has never given up their top flight place since then.
The toffees are the second longest serving top side of England-Hun last relegation came in the 1950-51 campaign. Their relegation was sealed with a pounding 6-0 defeat on Sheffield Wednesday and it took until 1954 before Everton was promoted.
However, they have occasionally flirted with the drop since the formation of the Premier League, especially in recent years. But perhaps the return of Moyes and the approaching move to a shiny new stadium will see them consolidate their top status again.
The goal of Gareth Farrelly in Goodison Park against Coventry City on the last day of the 1997-98 season ensured that the blues stayed on target difference.
And the 3-2 victory over Wimbledon in 1993-94, who sent Sheffield United in their place, is still enthusiastic about the blue half of Liverpool.
The city rivals of Everton had last relegation at the top in the 1953-54 season, only four years after reaching the FA Cup final.
It took eight years for the Reds to return, after a certain Bill Shankly from Huddersfield Town arrived to save the club from the Goldrums. It is safe to say that Liverpool has not been looking back since then.
Although relegation has never really been a realistic opportunity in the Premier League era in Anfield, Neutals noticed that they rooted for Roy Hodgson while he dragged Liverpool to the relegation zone in 2010-11.
The fatal spell of Hodgson who was in charge of the club ended with Liverpool who floated around the bottom of the table in January 2011. Club legend Sir Kenny Dalglish has saved a dangerous situation and led the club to the sixth.
United is part of the top table since the 1975-76 season when they immediately recovered from relegation in the previous campaign.
Their season in the Second Division is happy to remember the United Faithful as a young team based on Sammy Mcilory, Lou Macari and Stuart Pearson swept to promotion.
It is unlikely that the police services in Great Britain remember the Stint of United in the second layer with the same affection; United's Away Games were a magnet for hooliganism.

The last relegation of Spurs came out of favor in 1977 – a drastic fall after the successes of the club in the sixties – and was considered a huge shock at the time.
Just like Manchester United, Spurs immediately bounced up again (they end the third in the second division). This was followed by the beautiful signing sessions of Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricky Villa in 1978 and the club has since remained a presence of top flight.
The lowest Premier League finish of the North London side came under Osvaldo Ardiles in the 1993-94 season. The former international Argentina led traces to an overwhelming 15th place, partly because of its groundbreaking 1-0-9 formation.
He was fired in October 1994 with Tottenham Waren in the lower half of the Premier League. Even the best efforts of Juande Ramos, who have acquired fewer points than a Samosa before Bonfire Night in 2008, could endanger the Spurs' Premier League status for a long time.
Chelsea was last banned in the 1987-88 campaign after losing a relegation play-off draw against Middlesbrough. They returned to the first division after a single season.
From the moment that Roman Abramovich took over the ownership of the club in 2003, the bottomless pit of the money he invested in the play staff, his rewards when Chelsea soon became one of the best teams in the Premier League.
The only time relegation seemed to be an external possibility was Jose Mourinho's last months of his second spell that was in charge. With Eden Hazard who decides to take a gap year, and Mourinho would be the earth with other team members, Chelsea became 16 before he was fired.
City has been relegated twice in the Premier League era. The first occasion, in 1996, was mainly reminded for a misguided attempt to waste time during their last match against Liverpool in the religious results elsewhere were in their favor.
They were not. City would invade the third level in 1998 before he reached successive promotions under Joe Royle.
But the 2000-01 campaign was an underwhelming on Maine Road. The expectations were high after the signing sessions of Paolo Wankope and George Weah, but City was hit 4-0 by fellow promotes Charlton in their opening match.
“It was a funny season,” left back Danny Granville recalled. “Your forward line has Wochope and George Weah, you would think wow, but for whatever reason the chemistry simply did not happen.
“Alfie Haaland came in as a captain and I don't really know what happened, but perhaps the chemistry on that moment was a lot of heels and changing. That can happen.”
Relegation was confirmed after defeat in Ipswich in May 2001 and Royle was fired. His replacement, Kevin Keegan, led City to the One title division in his first season and the club has hardly looked back since then.
