Is This The Greatest Footballing City? | London City Guide

[@ramsuporter8]

What about Charlton, QPR and Watford?

[@Clubtracks12]

Watford is not a London club. They're from Hertfordshire

[@ramsuporter8]

OK but realistically anything inside the M25 is pretty much London.

[@adamfry7138]

Watford is in Hertfordshire

[@ThePalace05]

Charlton dont really count as a club too be honest

[@Clubtracks12]

On one hand fair enough. But somehow, few places doesnt belong to the London boroughs.

[@fernvarela]

[@MegaBetico10]

Bromley, Sutton, Daggers or Welling...

[@tkb4026]

@@MegaBetico10 They said professional teams but AFC Wimbledon, Charlton and QPR should be here.

[@zargonthemagnificent330]

@@tkb4026 Barnet, Dagenham and Bromley are full time professional clubs, just not in the EFL at the moment. Welling and Sutton are semi-professional.

[@isaacclarke6232]

i would love to see one of these in buenos aires. so meny big clubs, the fans, the passion

[@sheffsteel7]

Agree with all of that but nearly 400,000 watch football matches in London per match. Imagine if London had 1 team with 350K to 400K average gates, they'd make Barca and Madrid football attendances look like small fry non league clubs. The only down side is that there are so any other distractions in London that I don' t think it's as passionate as other cities in England never mind abroad and as we as we all know Buenos Aries is incredibly passionate.

[@noobkiller4500]

London is anything but the greatest Footballing City, even in England people in the North and specifically in Manchester are so much more passionate about their Football which is obvious by 90% of the teams up North making a lot of noise, whereas in the South some of the people come across as arrogant and this shows at most of the London clubs games where it sounds like a funeral with the exception of a few teams such as West Ham and Palace

[@kieranross4686]

Places like Newcastle and Liverpool are so much more passionate about football than London. (Don't know enough about Manchester). In Newcastle and Liverpool though, the whole city revolves around football. Their is nothing else to talk about and it unites the whole city's. You don't need 15 clubs to be the best footballing city.

[@noobkiller4500]

+Kieran Ross Exactly, I live in Manchester and it might not be at the level of Newcastle and Liverpool in terms of the whole City, but the majority of fans from City, United and even Stockport County near where I live are Football mad and when it comes to matchday everyone comes together

[@kieranross4686]

sam cohen Sounds quality. These type of cities, your Newcastle's, Liverpool's, Manchester's, are so much better than London. Just because London has like 20 clubs it doesn't mean its the best footballing city.

[@TheAJNWproductions]

+Kieran Ross are you having a laugh?! Manchester are far more passionate than any London club, especially Arsenal who have shit atmosphere at the emirates

[@kieranross4686]

+Alex Jones Are you dumb? Did you even read my comment? Because I'm pretty sure I said Manchester was better than London.

[@tylerharalam9915]

I think you've sold me on where to live after university

[@Matt-io8cx]

I'm so excited to go to London. Football seems to ooze out of everyone. I want to go to every stadium and watch a game.

[@Delboy0]

The will be a lot of envious fans disputing London being the capital of football but it is. No city has more big clubs in one city. There are 19 professional clubs that are all well supported. There isn't a city close that has so many big clubs and so many well supported clubs.

[@narcolonarcolo]

+Delboy0 Agreed. The only city that compares is Buenos Aires. Possibly Sao Paulo or Rio.

[@Delboy0]

narcolonarcolo But even these cities don't have as many big teams as London.

[@narcolonarcolo]

Well, lets take a look at Buenos Aires: there's Boca, River Plate, Racing Club, Independiente, Velez Sarsfield, San Lorenzo. That's six clubs just off the top of my head and these are all big, successful clubs (continental champions and the like) with large stadiums supporters base. That's without even mentioning any medium and smaller clubs.

[@Delboy0]

narcolonarcolo Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham. They are all in the top 14 richest teams in the world, all have continental titles and no disrespect but it harder to win in Europe than South America. All have sold out stadiums .

[@LiLiBurkeTron]

+narcolonarcolo Except their are 30 teams in the Argentinian top tier and only the first two tiers are professional in Argentina contrary to 4 (really 5 now) in England.

[@DrWhoEllis]

This series is fantastic! Really love the idea of it and really shows what's unique for each city. Great for the football fan looking to go to away games or random trips. Well done!

[@sausagesandcaviar2207]

+Ellis Hampton Nice one Ellis, that's very lovely of you.

[@DrWhoEllis]

[@pruett89]

Im going to London in the next few months and I can't wait. I love the US and I've been to NYC, DC, and Chicago several times and I can't wait to see the differences and the similarities. Seriously can't wait.

[@Isleofskye]

Your impression of London's 500 combined Villages Michael ?

[@MrChampken]

I think London has the 2nd most football clubs in the world (at least at professional level) only next to Buenos Aires, Argentina. In London I believe West London has the most condensed area of Football clubs with 4 football clubs all relatively close to each other (QPR, Chelsea, Fulham & Brentford)

[@frequentlyoffline3917]

I am a huge chelsea fan who lives in Harrow, which is not far from Wembley, and this video makes me quite proud to be a londoner.

[@FifaNL1]

We finally spot a Chelsea fan is actually lives in London. A bit hard to find them nowadays, with all the tourists from Asia and the Middle East

[@FifaNL1]

+Erik Schotanus who actually lives*

[@FifaNL1]

+Randy & Andy Calm down, only a joke. And no, I'm not an Arsenal fan. I'm an Ajax fan from the Netherlands. And the 'stereotype' of foreign fans doesn't only apply to Chelsea but also to the rest of the PL top 5. And I made the remark because you mostly see foreign people commenting about how much they love an English team and the passion they have for the team.

[@frequentlyoffline3917]

Erik Schotanus I watch premier league fanzone, and I see people from around the world supporting the usual suspects (Chelsea, Arsenal, Man United, Man City, Liverpool) and others supporting Newcastle, Sunderland and Tootenham. I actually saw a Nigerian who supports Sunderland.

This question could go on for a lifetime, my guess would be the birthplace of the professional game Sheffield. Without Sheffield their would be no such question. Even the first rules of professional Football was named the Sheffield Rules. London though, the first versions of Football was banned their in the 1300's. Sheffield still holds some of the best fans in Sheffield Utd and Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield Football Club is still going.

[@mancunioner]

+King KobiGames (KingKobiGames) how do Manchester have 3 clubs? Man Utd, Man City, Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Wigan, Bury, Stockport, Salford, plus loads more in the lower league. If you're saying they're in the greater Manchester area so they don't count then you realise none of those clubs in this video are in the city of London. They're all in boroughs which contribute to greater London so technically London has 0 clubs if you wanna go off that

[@pyramyde1]

Go to Brussels! The passion of RWDM and Union Saint Gilleoise is immense despite playing in the lower leagues, also since the second division is relegating 8 teams you might want to go before the league is ruined by the end of this season.

[@eduardocajias5626]

I don't know which one is the most passionate city for football (maybe Glasgow, isn't it?). But the most footballing in the world (in number of professional football clubs, and stadiums) is London, no doubt, but maybe you could compare to Buenos Aires metropolitan area, in Argentina, they have a lot of teams there. Both urban areas are smaller than where I live (São Paulo, Brazil), but have more football clubs. We have "only" three big teams here (Corinthians, Palmeiras and São Paulo) and two little professional ones (Portuguesa de Desportos and Juventus). Congratulations for your videos! From a Brazilian Newcastle United fan.
