The College Dropout Posted December 21, 2024 Share Posted December 21, 2024 Arsenal are the 3rd biggest club in England to me. They have been consistently successful for 100 years. The most FA Cups. The 3rd most league titles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted December 21, 2024 Share Posted December 21, 2024 Arsenal definitely Londons biggest club. There's a good case for them being England's 2nd club as well. Liverpool didn't really start doing things until the 60s and in fact Everton were probably Merseysides biggest club until that point. I'm sure when we played Liverpool in the 1974 Cup Final we were level with them on trophies won. Not even sure if we didn't have 1 more. They probably have overtaken Arsenal now, and I also think Chelsea have overtaken Spurs, Man City have overtaken Villa/Everton/us in the last 20 years as well.

toontownman Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 Nearly 30 years on and I'm still triggered to hate Arsenal by Lee fucking Dixon bahaha They are unquestionably Londons biggest club historically aren't they? Like nearly 50 league titles to less than 10 for any other London club. Wenger years were more magic than any of Chelsea's imo. Although the latter had some cracking teams when they bought the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
