Arsenal are clearly the bigger club.
Juventus have dominated Italy but everyone knows the biggest club in Italy is Milan.
Lyon won a record 7 league titles on the trot but everyone knows Marseille and PSG are the biggest clubs in France.
Nobody thought Barca were bigger than Real when they were dominating Spain and Europe for the best part of a decade.
But tbh I don’t see why anybody cares who follows the biggest club. It’s all about being the most successful club and Chelsea have definitely been the more successful over the last 15 years unfortunately

So we should be celebrating our plastics then?
It's an interesting concept.
---------------------------------------------------------
In business terms it's a fact, a funny one but still.
United arguably have the largest fanbase in the world, and they by far have the most plastics, not a coincidence

Spurs are the biggest club in London. The others are all imposters.
Biggest club in Liverpool are Everton, their history stretches over 130 years, not like Liverpool's that only started in the 1970s and ended in the 1980s.

Depends on what metric you are using. History and Trophies won are all in the past & wont mean shlt come the next Saturday. Spurs right now have the biggest stadium in London, are the only team playing in the Champions league and had more players in the Semis of the World cup than any other team in Europe. We have the World Cup Winning Captain in Goal, Englands center forward/ one of the most in demand players in the world and a manager who has managed to outperform his peers with a "nothing" net spend (while stadium built) over the past 3/4 years while being in demand for some of Europe's biggest clubs. .... Perhaps that counts for more than some random cup final win 20 years ago??????

Apart from the stadium your entire comment revolves around a single year. Spurs are obviously a big club but there’s not a chance they are bigger than Arsenal or Chelsea
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spurs were for 100 years bigger than Chelsea prior to the Russian turning up. Nothing will ever change that.
The only metric that counts is global fanbase.
1) United
2) Arsenal
3) Chelsea
4) Liverpool
5) City
6) Spurs

Shirt sales usually tell you how many glory hunter and prawn sarnie supporters a club has. I have never purchased a shirt in 60 years of support for Spurs.

Eer no it isn't. Remember when Chelsea used to get gates of 8,000. A few years out of the CL, and your gates will plummet. Arsenal also had a gate of 4,000 in my lifetime. The terraces used to be empty at both Stamford Bridge and Highbury back in the day. As good as your support is now, it don't take a lot to lose it again.

No. Not giving you jokes, mate
The Arsenal sell out the Emirates every week anyway (even if many didn't show when they got bored of AW).
They would sell 80k at Spurs' prices at Wembley, seeing as they sod 60k at Arsenal prices for boring football at Emirates.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They don't sell it out every week, are you telling me they sell 60,000 tickets, and then 15,000 decide not to go every week. They get about 45,000 tops.

Arsenal are the biggest Club in London still IMO.
Chelsea and Spurs have vied for the second place over the years, depending on WHEN historically you look at it would decide who is currently in the ascendancy. There have been times when Spurs have clearly been in front and there have been times when Chelsea have clearly been in front.
Spurs with their new big ground have struck a big blow but Chelsea with their big ground plans and regular big trophy winning habits have also struck big blows, so it all comes down to interpretation, bias and who you support.
Whatever your persuasion is, the one thing on here that neither set of supporters should be disputing is that BOTH are big Clubs.
Then comes West Ham.
Then comes all the rest IMO.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spot on.
Le Ar$e are still Londons biggest club, having the largest fan base of any of the big 4 - which were traditionally Le Ar$e, $purs, Spammers and us!
They still retain popularity from fans who rallied to the banner in their dominance in London under Graham and reinforced under early Wenger.
Ironically, we were probably a bigger club up until the early 70's than we are now in terms of fan base, when gates of 70,000+ were not unusual.
I've always had an opinion that we lost out on a generation, or more, of young supporters during our dark days which lasted a quarter of a century. In the late 70s and 80s it became more fashionable for young supporters to follow the successful teams, (hence Liverpool's rise to what they are now).
But at the end of the day, if you support Yoonited or Accrington Stanley, does it really matter if you love your club?
Those that boast that their club are the biggest usually only follow them for that reason only anyway!

Pawl, what's is your average in a80k stadium?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think it is safe to say that Arsenal and Chelsea would get bigger crowds at Wembley than Spurs or West Ham
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Eer no it isn't. Remember when Chelsea used to get gates of 8,000. A few years out of the CL, and your gates will plummet. Arsenal also had a gate of 4,000 in my lifetime. The terraces used to be empty at both Stamford Bridge and Highbury back in the day. As good as your support is now, it don't take a lot to lose it again.

Spurs got about 8,000 for a league match vs Birmingham in the 80's.

When they had a great side too: Waddle Hoddle and Ardiles. They also had a sub 10k crowd v Brum that season (85/6)

Biggest club in London, Chelsea? That's not what your mum said!

Arsenal are the biggest Club in London still IMO.
Chelsea and Spurs have vied for the second place over the years, depending on WHEN historically you look at it would decide who is currently in the ascendancy. There have been times when Spurs have clearly been in front and there have been times when Chelsea have clearly been in front.
Spurs with their new big ground have struck a big blow but Chelsea with their big ground plans and regular big trophy winning habits have also struck big blows, so it all comes down to interpretation, bias and who you support.
Whatever your persuasion is, the one thing on here that neither set of supporters should be disputing is that BOTH are big Clubs.
Then comes West Ham.
Then comes all the rest IMO.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spot on.
Le Ar$e are still Londons biggest club, having the largest fan base of any of the big 4 - which were traditionally Le Ar$e, $purs, Spammers and us!
They still retain popularity from fans who rallied to the banner in their dominance in London under Graham and reinforced under early Wenger.
Ironically, we were probably a bigger club up until the early 70's than we are now in terms of fan base, when gates of 70,000+ were not unusual.
I've always had an opinion that we lost out on a generation, or more, of young supporters during our dark days which lasted a quarter of a century. In the late 70s and 80s it became more fashionable for young supporters to follow the successful teams, (hence Liverpool's rise to what they are now).
But at the end of the day, if you support Yoonited or Accrington Stanley, does it really matter if you love your club?
Those that boast that their club are the biggest usually only follow them for that reason only anyway!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
67,953. Premership average 17/18
---
So, that's less than 80% of the stadium then?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think United Liverpool Arsenal and Chelsea would all get 80k average, especially at those Spurs' prices
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not a chance you would get 80,000 prawnies turn up for 19 games a season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We could get 95,000 turn up for a friendly against an Aussie team. I’m sure we could fill Wembley.

Chelsea once had an estimated 120,000 for a friendly at our own ground - not in some far flung land were the locals rarely see a PL team.
So your point was what?
