I think that one is probably just about where most fans sit concerning size of clubs....not sure id put my Hammers above Villa but for the most part that top 10 is pretty accurate.

West Ham are nowhere near Villa.

Maybe more instagram and Twitter but Haway .

You dont need to exploit peoples honesty about their clubs and go totally overboard just because you cant be honest about your own club......i wouldnt say " nowhere near "....id just say not as big.

I'd have to disagree with you and say no where near to be truthful

A Clubs History is from when they were formed and Villa's History and Trophy cabinet reflects their status as one of England's Big Clubs

Have you put your order in for a half & half shirt?.....don’t want to feel left out.....when you are in front of the telly ! Lol lol

Yes but history is in the past..... Villas last success was nearly 40 years ago hence why today they are not regarded as a big club....if they drop down to non league for the next 50 years and their gates go down and they become irrelevant in todays game will they still be regarded as a big club of course they wont your just being silly.

Max I will say this.

You are totally obsessed with Sunderland football club.

Now that's not a bad thing for someone to be passionate about something.

But fair play You got the bug bad.

If you put that much passion into being an MP.

You would be PM in a few years.

Nah nah nah gnash 

without checking , villa won the coco cola cup early to mid nineties against Man Utd 3 1 , I remember dalian Atkinson scoring a monster of a goal in it. 

At least 25 years ago , so being measured on Max’s timeline of success that basically means they should be given a place in the champions league qualifiers next season . 

After all they actually won a trophy, Sunderland haven’t won a thing since I was born and are still regarded as the “roker real “ by millions worldwide apparently ?

 

[THE STIFFMEISTER 15,605]

Shouldn’t you be busy stitching scarfs together ? 

Do you take orders? 

I’ll have a Celtic one side and Celtic reserves on the other please mate 

[THE STIFFMEISTER 15,605]

That’s exactly what it is max lad , a bit of crack

I will get you a half Rangers half Celtic sorted Stiff

I’ve seen them for cup games etc . 

Nah your alright ,  two big clubs don’t need to pretend to be friends with others to make neutrals like them

Not sure what all the discussion is about, but Max is very keen on facts. Well, the fact is Sunderland are in the third tier of English football. They may probably, but not guaranteed, be promoted to the second tier of English football, but that means they are still not a top team. Top teams play in the Premier League, not the second or third tiers.

There are plenty of teams with "history" , but it doesn't matter what your team did in the 1800's or the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's or whenever........it's what they are doing today ! 

Yeah, Sunderland get good crowds, but what difference does that make to the other 91 clubs ? Nothing at all !

Many, many teams with far more history than Sunderland would gladly swap it all to be back amongst the big boys playing Premier or Champions League football.

Its all down to money these days, and once a team falls out of the Premier, it's a long and difficult route back !

[WILF 46,525]

If they get back in the top tier as quick as they fill them 20,000 seats it could take a while ! Lol

"First to win the cup three times on the run"

"Champions of Division one"

"Now it's three, doesn't bother me"

"We are the Blackburn Rovers"

Those 3 cup wins were in the 1850s Max, no club with greater tradition, since then won the Prem, now middling Championship club,  your in the same boat now, well you will be if you manage promotion. Reality bites. Rodwell Rolls Royce.
