The "biggest" club in England

As much as it pains me to say it I think Utd being top is correct. Arsenal whilst having some success recently (as in last 20 years) is more of a surprise being ahead of Liverpool.

And this is down to us being 10th in the crowd column, which I'm not sure I agree with!

The crowd column seems to be a bit iffy...

Very.

Chelsea and Man City second and third? Man City had a half empty stadium for a CL game earlier this year didn'tt they?

There are only two clubs who sell out every single away game and it's neither of those two!

Does the crowd thing go back as far as 1888 too ? .. some of the attendances in the 50's & 60's were astonishing & i'm sure the likes of Liverpool & Chelsea were not the big clubs then that they are today.

My club Spurs has a record attendance of 75,038 v Sunderland in 1938 in basically the same stadium that only holds 36,000 or so today & that doesn't include all the freebie entries that the turnstile chaps would have turned a blind eye to'


Would have made the Elf n safety brigade go banana's.

And Spurs have 20,000 season ticket holders!

The whole defining fans as people that follow on Socail Media is deeply flawed. I follow Piers Morgan because I think he's a and want to feed my hatred.....I am definitely not a fan!

I just can't think of us as a big club. I've been a fan since 1969 and for most of that time we've been pretty crap.

I still can't get over the fact that we have flowers in the toilets. When I started going, we never had toilets in the toilets.

And when you order a burger they ask how you'd like it done!! How do you think ffs, burnt on the outside, ice on the inside, like I've had it for the last 40 years.

You can't get a wagon wheel or a Bovril for love nor money now.

The football is good though.
