A lot of interesting comments as well as the inane drivel we get used to from some of the unenlightened.
The question was, "what makes a big club?" it's a great arguement, the points I have tried to put across are that it is very difficult to quantify! Nobody surely argues that the quality of the SPL is far far below the EPL.
Likewise under the restrictions that Scottish football has in comparison to the Premiership with regards to TV revenue even the blindest of Celtic and Rangers supporters know they would not be able to compete over a season with the top half in England.
Because Reading, Charlton, Middlesborough etc recieve the equivelent of a small nations gross national product from television money does not make them big clubs.
A great trivia question. Which city in the UK has had two different clubs from that city reach the semi-finals of the European Cup?
No using 365.com please!
London has had 3
Quite right Nemisis they have Spurs in the early years and Arsenal and Chelsea in the last few. On looking deeper Glasgow also have had two so that was a real pish trivia question....lol!
