i have too much time on my hands but in light of the debate about who is the biggest team i decided to have a look at league tables.over the last few seasons. i took it back 23 years because that is the longest span between ages that 2 players have played for us in my lifetime. so from season 87/88 to 09/10 just gone it read[pts in top flight only]
1 man utd 1811 pts
2 arsenal 1668
3 liverpool 1608
4 chelsea 1451
5 spurs 1223
6 everton 1221
7 aston villa 1214
8 newcastle 1006
9 blackburn 896
10 west ham 849
11 leeds 838
12 southampton 834
13 man city 804
14 middlesbro 672
15 wimbledon[now mk dons] 663
16 coventry 654
17 sheff weds 605
18 notts for 543
19 qpr 486
20 bolton 483
1 thing that really comes out of this for me is how despite such a high placing how chronically spurs have underachieved
i think we are the best club in the world the best team is something we must always strive for. but it does go to show that we are a club not built on sand and that all the talk of us collapsing if certain personell leave is nonsence
