Disco Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Based on nothing other than clubs i deem to be proper football clubs (decent support, bit of history/stature) In no particular order(other than into my head): 1: Newcastle 2: Man United 3: Liverpool 4: Man City 5: Arsenal 6: Spurs 7: Everton 8: Chelsea 9: Leeds 10: Forest 11: Sheff Weds 12: Mackems 13: Villa 14: West Ham 15: Blackburn 16: Derby 17: Southampton 18: Wolves 19: Middlesbrough 20: Ipswich/Norwich (i see them as the same club pretty much) 16 downwards i was really stuggling i have to admit. A lot of other teams that came close. I'd quite like to see Cardiff in the prem even tho i know a lot wouldn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 My list: Newcastle Man Utd Arsenal Aston Villa Blackburn Chelsea Man Utd Man City Leeds Sheff Wed Notts Forest Tottenham Everton sunderland Boro Liverpool West Ham Sheff Utd Coventry Southampton Norwich (Wimbledon - NOT MK Dons) (QPR) The latter two are included because it used to be 22, and because we had a hard time cutting the bottom ones down. My Smoggie mate's list: Man Utd Chelsea Liverpool Arsenal Everton Spurs Blackburn Villa Newcastle Man City Middlesbrough West Ham Leeds Sheff Wed Southampton (note: only at the Dell) Notts Forest Wimbledon (note: NOT MK Dons) Coventry Sheff Utd sunderland (QPR) (Swindon - included because they were his second Premiership team when he started following football because he liked the shitty badge, the tit ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I've revised my list about three times, it's hard once you've got the core 12-15. I was mulling over Leicester, Charlton, Ipswich and Derby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I thought about Birmingham, even though they've only been in the top flight for a couple of seasons in my lifetime, I still consider them a big club for some reason. Bolton to me, along with Wigan, are the epitome of a club that is not top flight material in any shape or form. They'll have to win it before I think about putting them in.

Portsmouth ahead of Sheffield Wednesday best I say nothing. Ipswich are bigger club than Norwich by any measure. They've seriously competed for the title in the last 25 years, slightly bigger fanbase, definite bigger away support, have been Champions of England, would get 30,000 every week in the Premiership, have a European Trophy.
