The REAL Premiership

oh shut up

we're well in the top 20 best supported

and LOL at blackburn. ipswich and wba

Maybe now Canary, but in terms of all-time stuff you're nowhere near the top 20 I'm afraid to say. Quickfure run of form in the 90s & a Milk Cup win in the 80s doesn't quite put you up there. I'd put you at about 30th, just behind the ones already listed.

17th best supported we are

I'm not disputing how well you're supported at the moment. 17th is excellent, especially for a League One club.

sheffield wed lol. behave yourself.

Massive club. Going through some hard times at the moment, but have always been well-supported, have played a lot of top tier football and won a few trophies along the way.

incidently do you know how to pronounce sheffield wednesday?

according to wikipedia:

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club (pronounced /ˈʃɛfild ˈwɛnzdeɪ, -di/)

riiiiiight...

Cunny - I usually just call them Sheff Wed :)
Who's in your top 20 then mate?

ok then...blackburn? behave yourself.

I'm not a footie fan, but how the fack can West Ham be in there ?

Shocking thread

Evening Steptoe ;)
Honourable mention for the Boro boys

Blackburn ? One major trophy in 80 years and about 3 supporters.

Seasider - that's two more fans than Blackpool mate ;)

West Ham have played in the top tier almost exclusively for the last 40 years

The current twenty are the right clubs for the premiership. They are there on merit. How big you are or how good you were thirty years ago is irrelevant. If a club with big support cant do it with the advantage of better support and greater turnstyle revenue why do they deserve to be placed in the league. The joy of football is you are only as good as your last result. Clubs are where they are on merit and that is how it should be.

Mighty - correct, good point well made, but my Top 20 - as it states at the top of the thread - is based on history, reputation, kudos, fanbase & trophies. Just wondering which teams I've nominated are the most 'controversial'/open to debate.

** i'm on the football forum!

i dunno lol. umm

Man Utd
Liverpool
Chelsea
Aston Villa
Arsenal
Newcastle
Leeds
Tottingham
Everton
Sunderland
West Ham
Derby
Sheffield United
Birmingham
Sheffield Weds ok i changed my mind now ive looked at it
Wolves
Norwich

then im struggling.

For support i'd put Norwich top , but for everything else i would not put them in the top 20 , the list isn't far off imo .

Not sure about Fulham though

Crystal Palace, team of the 80's.

Some interesting, valid point made above.

NORWICH LMFAO

Wanderers FC won the fa cup 5 times apparently. put them in!

They did indeed, but they failed to sustain their early promise! Probably got conscripted into WW1 or something equally horrific :(

no Boro, i refuse to continue to read or take any further interest
