F-O-R-E-S-T...
When Revie took over they were 4th best supported team in Leeds after cricket and BOTH rugby codes. He made them...they're not a big team as such, just a team made by one giant of the game.
On a more serious note surely Villa and Birmingham?
UK's second largest city, lots of rich people and rich suburbs, stadiums in place, and in Villa's case a fantastic history of trophies, large crowds and being a 'top team'. They started losing it during SKY/EPL boom in 90s and have been huge losers in that process, alongside Everton. Two huge clubs who made very little of the new PR boom and fell away....while non entity clubs took full advantage of the cash, coverage and kudos.

The answer to this is always Spurs. For as long as I can remember, they've always been good footballing teams with some tremendous players but couldn't buy a cup or a title.

Liverpool are one of the most successful clubs in the world. There was football before the premier league.

Right!
That list is a joke. Do you just see "lists" and "stats" and believe them?! lol
All cities eventually "spill over " their outdated city limits, and that's exactly what cities like Brum and Manchester and Glasgow have done. They are all much bigger than Leeds. On most lists Leicester has a bigger population than Nottingham for example, but Nottingham has long expanded out over it's original city boundaries, and is ofcourse bigger than Leicester.
Biggest cities in the UK
1.London
2.Birmingham/Manchester
3.Glasgow
4.Liverpool
5. Leeds

Right!
I apologise unreservedly for being wrong. I concede Leeds is nowhere near the 3rd biggest city in the UK. I should have checked the populations before posting. I will inform my Leeds supporting mates that they should no longer be frustrated at being stuck in the Championship.
Just for clarity, where did your "list" come from and why should we believe it?
This "list" with "stats" says your "list" is wrong http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/united-kingdom-population/cities/
I'll keep an eye out for your posts as I can never get enough smarminess.

I think we can both see that no two lists are the same. Both lists I've cited are not mine, they are just lists and contradict "your" list which may or may not be accurate. No matter because I really don't give a feck as none of this concerns Rangers

Liverpool are one of the best teams to watch at the moment. I think their fans are happy and optimistic.

I wouldn’t say so. Despite the prick in charge they are where a club their size should be
