81/82, I thought Wolves went down in 83 but was wrong, that'll be the last time it happened.....by 87 only Cov and Villa remained and it took the other 3 until 2002 and 2003 to return.

Villa got relegated at the end of the 1987 season. In 1987-88 the Sky Blues were the only West Midlands team in the top flight.

It was a mega achievement to stay in the top flight for 34 years unbroken. In hindsight it was the greatest feat of ours in my opinion.

I hear you. Now go to the Valley on the last game of the season in 2008 and we have stunk the place out and stayed up and Leicester have been relegated to division three. Do you think that any Leicester fan would have thought that in eight years they would win the Premier League in their wildest dreams?
It is possible we will get back into the Premier League and for that reason alone I would never say never.
