General Disarray
Player Valuation: £500k
Just thought i'd have a mini rant about other teams in the league and the perception fans from rival clubs have.
Firstly my bias is a genuine hatred for Tottenham & Newcastle which stems back many years.
Newcastle fans genuinely believe they are this huge club and other teams in europe respect and fear them. - Where has this come from? I don't fear Newcastle.
-They have a big stadium and fill it but if you only had one team in Manchester or Liverpool the stadium would need to be 30k bigger than St James Park. The number of fans doesn't make you a big club, it makes you a well supported club.
-They haven't won anything for years and years (I know we haven't really either) other than promotion, so i don't get the big club thing there.
-Finally they aren't rich so they aren't big in terms of wealth.
This brings me to my point, fair enough they played well last season and got themselves in a European spot, but Newcastle fans i know are talking about leap frogging Arsenal and Spurs to claim a Champions League spot. I'm Genuinely concerned for them. What makes things 100% worse is when i talk to Man United or Liverpool fans about this, they agree and talk about how big a club Newcastle are!
Sorry if i wasted anyones time with this.
