I know who the big three are... Churchill, Roosvelt and Stalin

 

[crodonilson]

The big four are Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Traditionally whoever wins the grand slam table goes onto win the league although Liverpool proved the exception to that last season.

Chelsea?? Dont make me laugh,,,twenty years ago they were lucky to get 15,000 at the bridge for a home game, perhaps in another 20 years time, that if Roman doesnt pull the plug.

[Smithy]

The big four as a term used by the media refers to Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. This is because these clubs have won the major trophies in recent seasons and nearly always finish in the top four in the league. It's not referring to fan base or overall history.

Not that I like Chelsea, I think that puts them comfortably in the top 4.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

20 years ago you probably would have said Man Utd, Liverpool, Everton and Arsenal.

Now I would say as an apathetic premier league follower who doesnt know half the f***ing players in that division Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.

If you were to say 5 like they used to then I would say Man City. It would have been Tottenham.

Its all down to spending power now*.

*Even tho probably 3 of the 4 are probably technically bankrupt.

Here it is

[auschr]

How can a club that hasn't won the league in 18+ years be considered to be a top club.

 

[Safe.]

The top 4 is a concept that sky has made up, so they can over hype clashes between the 4 teams.

 

[strings]

This big 4 has only emerged over the last couple of years. Not log ago it was the 'big 5' that couldn't be broken... Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle.

Before that it was Man Utd, Arsenal, Livepool, Newcastle and Leeds (I seem to remember)...

[Publius Ovidius]
