If we were to judge the British game's top clubs by fanbase, in the UK and Worldwide. most of us can agree on these.

1. Manchester United.
2. Chelsea.
3. Liverpool.
   4.Arsenal.
4. Manchester City.
5. Tottenham Hotspur.
   7.Newcastle United.

now this is not a list judging by European runs or titles in the past 15 years, its solely by fanbase. popularity. (Otherwise Newcastle wouldn't be there lololololol.)

i call these guys,. "the 7".

now Newcastle can be disputed.. but there are a whole god damn bunch of Geordies around the world (added to the ones in the northeast) its actually unbelievable. so in my opinion i think they deserve to be amongst the rest of us in there.

Is this based on data, or impression?

I'm not sure City have that many fans, for instance, though I'm happy to be proved wrong if that's the case. :)

I just found out:
