Not sure how many of you follow stuff like this, but I’m old enough to remember when Everton had played more games, won more games, and got more points than anyone in English football history.
Sadly, that record eroded and instead were lumbered with an unwanted one of having lost more games than any club in top flight history.
For the Premier League only we’ve been neck and neck with West Ham for a while. This season they’ve taken the mantle as the most beaten team, which they currently hold by 4 losses.
West Ham have also conceded 9 more goals than us, and surprisingly Spurs are now equal with them for the record of most premier league goals conceded (although Spurs have scored 350 more goals than us!)

I think these are good records to have.
We only have them due to being in the PL the entire time. I’m amazed West Ham have lost more, given how many more seasons we have been in the PL than them.
When you look at the records, it’s normally Liverpool right behind us – again because they have been in the league the whole time.
Losing the most games in top flight history is a testament to how long we’ve been in the top flight. I see it as nothing more than our ability to stay up and remain there no matter what.
