As others have said, Villa have been in the top flight for more seasons than any other club except for Everton.
..........
I always thought it was Arsenal who have been in the top flight the longest.
I have figured out where RB&W got his history bit wrong. And it is all to do with pedantry.
It is the difference between who has been in the top flight for the most amount of seasons and who has been in it the longest consecutively.
Villa are without doubt a mainstay of top flight football second only to Everton.
Arsenal have the record for the longest amount of consecutive seasons in top flight football.
PS.
I am bored. Thats why I looked it up.
