    Chelsea and Liverpool? We're the only ones that win the trophies after all.

    ...Unless you count that big shiny trophy they hand out for being top of the league in mid-november of course.

    You're right Rai, back-to-back league titles is much more impressive than back-to-back European cups.

    I think we'd prefer (as Jose has pointed out before) to be called "the elite group of 1".

    Let the other 'big 3' sort out the 2nd tier between themselves ok

    Man U - only side never to finish outside of the top three in the Premiership. Always been managed by the same person as well.

    Liverpool have won the most in history of teams from england this is fact, But this really isnt the basis for why people say biggest club in the world. When arsenal are winning titles, They still are not bigger than liverpool. Man Utd is the biggest worldwide, as far as i know that is a fact <Ale>
