Right, these should be fairly easy..

Question 1
There are currently 3 clubs within the football league with the letter "x" in their name, who are they ?

Question 2
There is one football club who have never been relegated from top flight football. Which Club ? (this includes the premiership and the old division 1)

I won't be back on here until this evening, but I am assuming you will have posted the correct answers by then.

1. Oxford United and Wrexham are 2 of them - I'm guessing that you're including the Conference as part of the league, which would also include Exeter

Just popped back home (forgot something

)

Two of your teams are correct, and no the conference is not part of it, so there is one more in the Football League.

I believe the answer to No: 2 is arsenal

**Damien** · 04-05-2004, 10:46

I think it is arsenal, We have always been there. In fact i think it was us and everton which where the main makers of a 1st division national league

**Damien** · 04-05-2004, 10:49

Why do we only have one topic for football? I mean lets be honest football is huge and I am sure there are people who want too talk more in depth.

Arsenal must have had friends in high places that long ago, they were actually promoted to Division 1 in 1919 (I think) after only finishing fifth in Division 2, but it was decided that they should be promoted as a reward for their long service to the league.

**Damien** · 04-05-2004, 11:09

Not exactly we founded the 1st division along with a few other clubs and so we put ourselves in there along with those teams. It was nothing to do with a reward.

**Damien** · 04-05-2004, 11:14

FACT UPDATE:

We have been relegated, in 1913 i believe. But where soon back up in 1919 as the 1st division was to be expanded and arsenal where chosen to go into there instead of spurs.

We are the only team to be in the premiership without being promoted there.

So I dont know which team has never gone down but i am guessing everton now
