[Football] Biggest club never to have won a major trophy

[Simster]

Who would you say it is? Surely it was Leicester until 2016, but now they've won 2 trophies. How I wish that was us!

Notable entrants:

Albion
Stoke
Watford
Palace


Lots of clubs have won just one - Middlesbrough, Southampton, Wigan.

Palace

We won the major trophy in 1910

I know we say that, but the Charity Shield meant little in those days. About as relevant as Palace's Simod Cup triumph I'm afraid.

I didn't think it meant little? I thought it meant far more than now. It was between the winners on the two respective Leagues. Happy to be shown to be wrong. Is there evidence that says it didn't mean much back then?

Stoke have won the League Cup, not sure if this counts as a major trophy

 

[Bozza]

Stoke won the League Cup back in the day.

Beyond that, it comes down to that age-old chestnut of trying to assess and compare club big-ness.

They did indeed. I was there! (My last game as a Chelsea fan as they were my boyhood 'big' club)

palace have won the FA Cup.


Afterall there's no way you'd do this and pick up a losers medal.

 

[Napper]

Fulham , Palace or us

A "Super Cup" according to Wiki, that's good enough for me.

Below Royal Engineers and Oxford University! But when we win the Europa League we will soar up that table.

It’d be a shame if somebody built on your post by posting a full GIF of the event. This one, for example.

Newcastle ?

If we exclude the FA cup about 4 times, which I’m happy to do - then yeah, why not !

 

[stewart12]

Newcastle ?

Newcastle have won plenty of trophies, just not recently

4 league titles, 6 FA Cups, 1 Fairs Cup (precursor to the UEFA Cup)

Was that really necessary? Once you've seen it, you can never unsee it. Sake!

What a time. We have incredible players, showing us incredible skills and getting us incredible results. The one thing that this period in our history is missing is a tangible. Something that in future years we can tell our kids grandkids, great grandkids about. A trophy

I'm very hopeful that come this May we will not be one of the clubs in this conversation

Fulham
Brentford

Pah! It was reported on the FRONT PAGE of The Times.

(When it had at least 10/20 stories on a single page)

Wigan and P*rtsm**th have both won the FA Cup within the past 20 years. Would anyone here rather support either of them? Trophies are overrated.
