KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is the famous "big 4" no more?

Tricky question

The big clubs in England are Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and City

There was a time when Leeds, Newcastle and Everton would have been amongst those big clubs but not any mote

As for Chelsea, they are on the same level as West Ham

But when we talk aboiut big clubs we are talking about clubs with the most fans and followers - not which ones are best

Liverpool might be out of the top 4 at the moment but apart from Man utd I'd say we're the biggest team in the premiership

Man City have taken our place amongst the big 4 at the moment, and our best chance of getting it back looks to be at the expense of Arsenal

I see the biggest Clubs as the most powerful Clubs, Barca, Madrid in Spain,
A.C Milan, Inter and Juve, Benfica and Porto in Portugal, Bayern Munich in Germany, Ajax and Feynoord in Holland. I really dont think having loads of supporters comes into it because in this country Newcastle and Villa have more fans than Chelsea yet who would seriously say they were bigger than Chelsea. I see Liverpool as being a famous old Club rather than a big one, they are bigger than other famous old Clubs like Leeds United and Everton but over the years they have sadly slipped away. I dont think the games biggest players would even look at us never mind sign as the game has now changed where United, Chelsea and City now call the shots in this country they have now become the biggest Clubs in this country. I remember in the 80's when the big five were us, United, Everton, Arsenal and Spurs, there is only Arsenal and United left from that with the others replaced with City and Chelsea as a big four.

Lifes a bitch aint it.
