With Leeds , Villa and now Forest back in the PL, it's feeling a bit like old times again, with most of the big clubs involved. Obviously what you consider a proper PL team varies by your age.

For me this is what the PL "should" include:

Tottenham
Aston Villa
Blackburn
Chelsea
Crystal Palace
Everton
Liverpool
Leeds United
Leicester City
Man Utd
Man City
Middlesbrough
Newcastle United
Nottingham Forest
Sheffield Wednesday
Southampton
Sunderland
West Ham
Wolves
Woolwich

Relegated last season:
Derby County
Norwich City
West Brom

Nearly included: Wimbledon, Sheff Utd.

Which teams would you include?

I'd go along with that. Maybe Portsmouth yo-yoing up and down.

Wednesday is definitely an age thing. They were pretty good back in the 90s.

Yes Wednesday haven't been up in decades but they feel like they should be there. Famous old stadium, historic team, PL for all the 90s I think. I liked them back then for some reason, probably mostly because they played Woolwich in the 93 League cup final.

They had a lot of likeable players that were in and around the England team. Always preferred them to Sheffield United.
 
With all the fuss about Nottingham Forest, I'm realising how much older the average poster on this forum is than me.

I've never seen them in the PL even as a child, though back then I was only really interested in playing football, not watching.

For me Nottingham Forest big club thing passed me by. The actual Nottingham forest in my mind is just another championship club like Birmingham, Milwall etc. I knew nothing about them before I started frequenting football forums.

I associate Stoke with the PL more than them.
 
For me, city, chavs, spammers can fuck off from EPL.
scum can stay but in 17th.
dippers can stay but in 16th
barcodes can stay but in 15th

if I ruled the world.

When I was a young-un and got into the football the earliest memories were of the panini sticker books as was highlighted in the Forrest thread foil badge! I was non the wiser who was the best/biggest the teams what you’ve posted are near correct but Chelsea were Division 2 , West Ham again was no where near division 1 in my head Bolton should be there + Bristol City but this based only on my childhood.
