Which clubs...

Palace
They are great. They have 30 or so fans who dress up in black and bang a drum in the bottom corner behind the goal.
Most passionate fans in the universe

Not quite jealous, but I do like the way Brighton & Brentford go about things.

I don’t think you can be jealous of a team you support mate.

You look at teams like Brighton and Brentford and think - that could and should be us.
 
Man United
Arsenal
Liverpool
Real Madrid
Barcelona
Ac Milan
Bayern Munich

For the first 2, imagine being absolutely devastated and fed up because your team finished outside the top 4 for a couple of seasons. I remember having some general chit chat with someone at a training course before COVID and I’d said something about Sunderland having a terrible time of it, and he said “I know what you mean, I’m an Arsenal fan!”


Also, at this moment in time any club much “smaller” than us that is currently sitting comfortably in the PL - Palace, Brighton , Brentford, Fulham.

Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal. All other clubs with a modicum of success last 25 years have bought it/acquired it through unscrupulous means. But those 3 are simply the cream of English football. All 3 are too big to fail and after periods of relative mediocrity come roaring back.

So those 3 clubs have not not secured any recent success by "unscrupulous means" ?
Have a look at Liverpool's owners (FSG) sporting history and their sponsors' skulduggery (e.g. Standard Chartered Bank).
Also MUFC are not "whiter than white" e.g. former sponsors Aeroflot. What about their offshore accounting ?
What about Visit Rwanda sponsoring Arsenal for many years ? Obviously The Arse were ahead of Pritti Patel's solution for illegal immigrants...
 
None - Sure you always want better but just couldn’t lose what I have gone through following the mighty Swindon.

The Bury fans have something to really think about.
We were days away, that alone I will always be grateful until my last breath.

Exactly. The way that they play (although we’re playing some good stuff at the moment) and the way they recruit. Both competing for European football, what’s not to like?
 
The sort of clubs where you put your keys in and get a night of fun with someone else’s partner. The way things have gone the last few months I’d probs end up with the key for the canary cage though

All 3 were part of the big 5 that pushed for the formation of the PL. They started the daft money.
