Depends what you're meaning by big club. Can't stand them, but the Mags probably are tbf. Same goes with us. Chelsea have only been a 'big' club the last decade or so, since the likes of Abramovic came in and they started winning stuff. Until then, their fan-base was mostly made up of a small hardcore of skinhead racists/thugs. Aside from the one title back in the day, they'd never won anything.

If us or the Mags actually had any success or even anything to "celebrate" the crowds in these parts could clock 100k or so, easy.
Chelsea won nine trophies between the mags last major trophy and Roman Abramovich arriving at Chelsea and had been in the top flight for almost twenty seasons. It's an absolute myth that Chelsea only became a 'big club' when Abramovich arrived.

So fuck were the mags seen as a big club before King Kev rode into town and won fuck all?

He's like a really low-rent Goebbels. I'm surprised he didn't shoot himself in St James Park Metro Station when John Hall retired
:lol:
 
Some think big crowds are the sign of a big club, some think trophies are the sign of a big club, some think facebook likes are the sign of a big club.
Personally you hang your hat on which one suits your argument.
 
they possibly were until Wednesday night, but all this giant killing and historic win guff coming from Ryder has them pretty much marked down as one of the smaller also rans
 
Locally though. Not internationally. You may see people wearing Chelsea tops these days when you go abroad, but even after playing in Europe, you'll still not see many Tottenham shirts outside of North London. Spurs are another club who rate themselves far more highly than their standing actually deserves.
I think that argument is far more aptly applied to the mags.
 
Chelsea and spurs have won more, have higher average attendances historically, have more national supportnow and chelsea in particular have much bigger international support.

If he said that then he is utterly deluded ie a typical mag
 
For him to be the North East correspondant he is far too biased towards the filth, he irritates me no end he REALLY does.

He also uses the word really far too much.
 
Than Chelsea and Spurs according to Graham Courtney!
TBF this sort of shite is no different to a number of supporters on here who have this "see no evil", "hear no evil", "speak no evil" approach towards (a massively underachieving) SAFC.

They may well understand better than the more pragmatic SAFC fan exactly why this sort of shite is spouted week in and week out by the Mags and their agents in the media. They have the same mindset as the Skunks.

It just illustrates what a load of bollocks this "big club" argument is mate.
