If there was just one club in sarf London, it would be big.

For population to success rate and potential, Cardiff are by far the biggest under-achievers, but that's cause they are Welsh.

Southampton are another club with a huge population base and historically Brighton are underachievers as well. Plymouth and Hull could do better over the years.

Did you read the op?

I know you can add up population figures many different ways (urban area, conurbation, city population etc) but I'm pretty sure Southampton have a smaller potential fanbase than we do. Plymouth is, by most reckoning, the largest city in Europe never to have hosted top division football, having taken over that dubious honour from Hull.

The thought of losing fills me with dread, however I am confident we will put the scum to the sword. It'll be nerve wracking for sure but albion to come through 2-0. CMS & Barnes.

I cannot wait !!!!!!!!!!!

the trouble with a derby is form goes out the window. How often do Everton struggle towards the bottom of the league and then do one over liverpool and i'm sure there are plenty of other examples of other derbies. JUst think back 6 years to the 2005 game when we won 1-0 and look where the two teams finished up that season so although we're playing well who knows what will happen
