I don't really do these "we're bigger than you" arguments, but this comment made me laugh!
In terms of support, Pochettino highlighted a club record home crowd of 85,512 against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League at Wembley in November.
Record 'home' crowd???
Spurs bigger than Man City?

Spurs were one of the original big 5 along with Everton at one point believe it or not.
We all know how City got where they are. At least Chelsea were in and around the summit before the Russian. City were with the dead men so traditionally Spurs were the bigger club pre 2008.

I'm happy for you to call us a small club so long as we are the ones actually winning stuff.

City won the lottery when the sheikh bought in. I don't begrudge them that as their fans had been through a lot. Wasn't so long ago they were languishing in the third tier of English footy. Traditionally Spurs have always been a slightly bigger, more glamorous club than City. City are currently wealthier due to the huge cash injection and as a consequence have had recent success, but that doesn't automatically make them a bigger club.

So chelsea ain't a bigger club than arsenal then by that logic?

No, possibly not. Chelsea have won a hell of a lot since RA took over, much more than City have in comparison. They are more successful than Arsenal in the modern era but a bigger club? I always think of Arsenal as the biggest London club.

Would u say chelsea are a bigger club than Spurs then?

The quote is "The Argentine claims that despite City's wealth, Pep Guardiola has left Barcelona and Bayern Munich for a club HISTORICALLY INFERIOR to the north Londoners".

It does NOT say BIGGER - please learn to read your own posts
