    Leicester City are only the fourth club to be relegated to the third tier less than 20 years after winning the championship.
    Portsmouth, 1961, 11 years after winning
    Derby County, 1984, 9 years
    Leeds United, 2007, 15 years
    Leicester City, 2026, 10 years

    I know what you mean, but you should probably change this to “Top Flight League Title” bearing in mind the name of the current 2nd tier competition.

    Call them the National league champs? Oh wait...

    In 2003-4 when Leicester were playing in the Premier league (as were Charlton), Bromley were playing in the Isthmian league division one south.

    Before the start of this EPL season, Wolves were 20th, by virtue of alphabetical order. They haven’t changed position all season.

    Only Sheffield Wednesday and Tottenham Hotspur in the four divisions have failed to win in 2026.
    Which means that Macclesfield Town have beaten Premier League opposition more often in 2026 than Spurs have.
    Congratulations to Spurs on having now matched the number of Premier League sides beaten in 2026 by Macclesfield.

    Apparently the starting eleven for Horsham in the National League South weekend, was made up of players who'd all made over 100-appearances for the club - At any level thats impressive if so, at Non-League level, thats ridiculous
