    Arsenal William Gallas
    Aston Villa Gareth Barry
    Chelsea John Terry
    Liverpool Steven Gerrard
    Man Utd Gary Neville
    Spurs Robbie Keane


    They all have English captains except Arsenal and Spurs. :D You could come up with a million different answers for this question. It's very vague.

    Boards went down before I could reply earlier.

    OK, I'll make this slightly clearer.

    What is unique about those seven sides?

    Not a great question, but this is in relation to club honours.

    They are the only clubs to win domestic trophies since the premiership began, and not be relegated since. Blackburn (twice) and Leicester are the only other clubs to have won trophies since then, but have been relegated.

    Close but no cigar.

    Boro should be in there as well (though not sure what way you're deciding it, is it relegated full stop or relegated after winning a trophy?)

    No forgot about Boro. I was thinking I had left some one out.

    You mean which two are the odd two out?

    The answers as most seem more interested in having a pop than having a go at answering:

    1. All seven are the only founding members of the Premier League who have never been relegated since its inception.

    2. Of the seven, only Villa and Liverpool have never won a Cup Winners Cup, though Pool got to a final in the 60s.

    You could also say Spurs & Villa. They haven't finished in the Champions League places in the Premier League!

    You could also say Everton and Chelsea as they are the only two never to have won the double...
