I think it's clear that Man United and Liverpool are the 2 biggest clubs not just because of both being the most successful in terms of silverware but the story that sits behind each club, and as sad as it is the tragedies are part of the reason, because fans have that deep rooted connection with their history and it almost turns their stadiums into a church or a places of worship and it becomes more than a football club .

I don't understand it when people disregard new fans of Chelsea or City, or any club for that matter. It looks like many don't realise how someone new to the sport comes to support one club or another. Unless you have family or friends who influence you, you'll tend to support the teams that play well now and are entertaining to watch (and these teams often win trophies). Are you going to support a team that is boring and/or bad just because they used to be good several decades ago? No, that would be plastic...

[@davidelliott4979]

City and Chelsea are only considered big clubs because of the money that’s been pumped into them in the past. Chelsea and City were struggling clubs before the money got pumped into them and it’s because of the money that’s brought success at both clubs. Unlike Utd and Liverpool who’ve been successful for years and have a huge world wide fan base.

@@user-pd8nq3vc9m Lee understand your football history. Liverpool and United were big clubs before football started in 1992 because a lot of people like yourself seem to think that football only started when the premier league started. It’s not about the millions that have been spent since that’s only come about because of the 2 money clubs investing millions into their teams and Liverpool and United have had to keep pace. Besides that you only have to look at their world wide support. I don’t think either Chelsea or City would be able to sell out the MCG in Melbourne like Liverpool did for a friendly pre season match.

A big club is a club that has consistently won titles through all eras of football. A club that has always been at the very top (or close to it) of competitive football locally and continentally. The biggest winners of a country. City isn't a big club and the "Big 6" is also a lie. There has always been a Big 2 in English Football, and those two are Liverpool and Manchester United.

[@MrKeefy1967]

Does that include when Man U were in Division 2 in the 70's? People whose balls have barely dropped should refrain from using words they don't understand, like 'always'.

[@Murdocke89]

Liverpool/Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Aston Villa/Everton(can argue between the 2 as I view Everton as our most similar club and you can argue CL for Villa or 2 more titles for Everton who goes ahead), Man City, Newcastle, Sunderland, Forest, Blackburn, Wolves, Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday. Those are the clubs I view as big and I don’t really care the order as they are generally the clubs that come up in peoples lists just these are the ones I view as the big boys.
