Londons biggest club?

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Tottenham and Woolwich are london biggest clubs if the goons had our 90s they been no one there we can see that from their crowds last season. Tottenham on the other hand consistantly sold out the ground.

Chelsea is built on the stolen blood sweat and tears of the Russian people. A few bad seasons and they all slope off.

If you were to strip away the plastics/tourists hangers on and based purely on hardcore support would we come out on top?
 
I don’t know how you define biggest but historically in terms of fanbase size and trophies it was:

Woolwich
Tottenham
Chelsea
West Ham

Then along comes a Russian gangster trying to deposit his stolen loot and Chelsea catch up to us although being artificial Chelsea are now a plastic fanbase and a plastic club.

Personally I don’t care about how ‘big’ we are, rather the quality of football/passion we play with and the trophies. On the first count we are fantastic on the second we need work.

Agree. would rather have 30 odd thousand committed fans, than the mobile phone infested plastics that are at other ' big' clubs. Had enough of seeing them at Wembley and hopefully they are reduced in number when we return to the lane.

It's great for the clubs as its revenue, but look at spam, their support has been diluted with day trippers who just want to watch a game or people having a day out with no interest in spam. Does not make them a big club. Liverpool and Man Utd are similar, yes they have their vocal sections ( Kop and Stratford end) then it's littered with half and half scarves and mobile phone addicts
 
According to the latest releases by CIES Football Observatory, we currently have 6 players in the worlds 100 most valuable players list (Kane, Dele, Son, Sanchez, Dier & Eriksen) worth a total of 694.4m Euros

Chelsea players in the top 100 total 597.4m Euros

Woolwich players in the top 100 total 307.2m Euros

West Ham players in the top 100 (it's only Felipe Anderson) total 56.9m Euros

Our top boys are worth nearly 100m Euros more than anyone else in London and more than double what Woolwich's are worth. Who ever thought they'd be reading that in their lifetimes? It's worth noting as well that Eriksen is only valued at 75.2m due to his contract situation so if we ends up signing his extension that figure will rocket as well.

West Ham, the team that says they are as big as Spurs have a value according to the CIES worth nearly 12.5 times less than our boys. Wankers!
