The lack of a Champions League or European Cup goes against Arsenal, but Arsenal were still considered bigger than Forest and Villa when they won it.

Arsenal have tended to win league titles in most decades since the 30's rather than be a team that wins a lot of trophies in a short space of time, a consistency, which goes in their favour.

The better side does not mean bigger. Liverpool are a bigger worldwide team than Arsenal even though Arsenal have had the better team for most of the last 15 years.

not according tovSportmarkt.....all these claims by posters about which club has the biggest global fanbase but mafe without a shred of supporting evidence...

This.... Not one gooner has provided a single stat that back up their boiiocks claim.

There are hardly stats for it. What is there a survey that asks every single person on the planet which football team they support? Because nobody asked me.

Facebook and Twitter obviously.

and from the survey results...... they produce statistics

Arsenal apparently have a massive fanbase in Uganda where they probably haven't even heard of the internet yet. So the 'stats' could be a bit misleading.

I'd imagine global merchandising plays it's part

Roman probably bought loads of shirts from the club shop to make it look like Chelsea have a big fan base, in fairness.

good one

Gooooners if you have such support why do you have to lie about the number of fans that actually go to your games?

Just asking.

"Arsenal are famously the only club in England who have enjoyed an unbroken stretch in England’s top football division since the Second World War. Indeed the Gunners have been in the top flight non-stop since 1919."
That will do me.

I am a time travelor, I will post this, from Wickipedia, 2093.
"Chelsea FC. After decades of mediocrity, this small London based club had a few brief seasons of good form and a scattering of trophies when they were owned by a very rich person.Soon afterwards, they slipped back into obscurity."

This was in a footnote of an article entitled Arsenal, all time greatest football club since the game began, and all of their rivals.'
Strangely, their biggest rival of all was Manchesterpool FC, an amalgamation of four clubs....

That is nothing to write home about.

We have never been relegated........


Except this one time

Two reasons why Chelsea have passed Arsenal:

1) Russian money
2) Wenger being a complete t'it

3) Winning Games

Reason 3 is linked with Reason 1

So what you are saying is Arsenal have underachieved

Wayne bridge goal vs us in champions league quarter final at highbury 2004...the moment we knew greatness was around the corner for Chelsea and that Wenger was done.

Congrats. You have to respect the best tbf.

You must be pretty chuffed with this one Mr C, even you couldn't have expected so much?

Superbly researched article with indisputable facts. 5 stars.

Arsenal have become the Liverpool of London

So what you are saying is Arsenal have underachieved
