Lots of people complain that Tottenham are considered in the “big 6” so if they weren’t in the big 6 who would replace them

    Better question is who should replace City and Chelsea in the Big 6 after they systematically broke regulations to attain their current position.

      You’d be replacing a lot more than just two football clubs in that case

      I feel like for Arsenal it’s good to have Tottenham competitive and even win a odd trophy or two every now and then. I mean, what is a rivalry if the rival is nothing. Like Chelsea and Fulham, it’s just boring, but Arsenal Tottenham is one of the best rivalries in the world imo.

    Answer: No one, if you think it is a metric for success, then it would become the big 5, like it was before City and Chelsea became what they are (that 5th team was Everton by the way, so you can definitely drop from being considered a big club), and if you think it is a metric of actual stature of the club, then they aren’t even the ‘smallest’ of the big 6, that’s Arsenal, and Arsenal are clear of 7th, as spurs are when it come to total accolades. Newcastle aren’t close in either system to ‘take’ their spot, and if they do, it would probably become the big 7, or whatever they choose to call it, remember a few years ago when Leicester were consistantley

    Tottenham are 6th. That’s the problem they’re a clear 6th but significantly below the big 5

    It’s been 15 years since they last won a trophy so we’ll judge based off financial stuff? Games gone.

    Toon fan here. Spurs are 100% in the big 6, I’m not sure why anyone would suggest they should be replaced!

    they are top 6.

    Leicester made a run for a few years but have faded. Everton felt like they were close for awhile and have consistency the last 20 years

    There’s a historical argument for Aston Villa or Everton, and a fanbase/money argument for Newcastle, but realistically Tottenham are clearly a top 6 club.

      They lost to Chelsea (who then drew with City), and then 2-1 to Wolves (who beat City 2-1) and that was that. Title hopes over.

      I’m not expecting them to be a proper contender for the title but Football fans are a bit fickle

        Not with the injuries they’ve had. Losing Maddison was huge but VDV is probably a bigger loss

    People who says Spurs isn’t one if the big six, doesn’t understand what the term means.
