Barclay's Premier League Giants

I'm a Red Devils fan myself.

I'm assuming the poll is regarding who we consider the biggest club??? If so I 'd have to say Manchester United, taking into account recent history and past history, domestic and European success.

Chelsea has no historical success or European success to speak of.
Arsenal has no European success and less domestic success.
Liverpool has had not much recent success domestically.
Manchester United has all the prerequisites.

Maybe I should've written what I was meant to ask you....

Who do you like most of those four clubs

 

[GregCentauro]

I still like Chelsea because I liked them when they were cool. It was great fun to watch the aging greats having fun playing footie there in the Nineties: Vialli, Gullit, Leboeuf, Zola...

Any club is cooler than ManUtd, thouugh. Even fucking Mansfield.

I've voted for Chelsea because at the moment, they look far and away the best team in the Premier League. If you're talking about the entire history of the Premier League going all the way back to 1992, you'd have to say Man U...their trophy haul speaks for itself but I think the tide is turning and Chelsea are set to dominate.

I've been a Gooner for over 40 years, so I've seen the good times and the not so good. it has been a little frustrating in recent years, having not won anything, but it always seems so close. A little run of luck on injuries (ie a lack of them) and we could do it this year.

Arsenal, however, has consistently been in profit, whereas NONE of the other 3 have.

Well overall you would have to say Liverpool are the biggest club because of their history both in the league and in Europe. But given the fact that this is just concerning the Premier League the obvious title of "giant" I think, if you were looking at in success terms alone would have to go to Manchester United because of their dominance since the leagues inception.

But notice the giant periods of nothingness. Especially Chelsea, just 3 trophies before 1996.
