Spurs.

This is on the basis that they have gone from being a mid-table side 10/15 years ago to being able to compete with Arsenal, Chelsea etc. without any huge injection of cash.

They choose not to spend it. They made a profit of £150m last full year, finally pay top end range salaries and are generally a huge attraction for players due to their training facilities and ground.

They are less punching above their weight, than merely being well run and managed.

Liverpool.

For their size, it amazes me they do so well in Europe.

Definitely a psychological barrier for European opposition. They lose to the legend rather than the reality, in England we know from experience that if you have a go at them they crumble.

Any London side that isn't Arsenal/Spurs/Chelsea. It's amazing how many professional clubs the capital supports when Madrid only has 2, Paris 1, Rome 2 ect. You can even include home counties sides such as Watford and Brighton in that given the transport links.

Poor Rayo Vallecano.

Getafe too if you include home counties.

Eh, what? Rayo Vallecano? Carabanchel? And if you're going to include Watford, you have to include Getafe, Leganés, Móstoles and all that lot.

Hmmm. You have to remember that even in countries where football is big like in France, Italy, Spain, etc, when you go below the 2nd tier you often get crowds in the hundreds as opposed to thousands. England as a whole just has a much greater depth of support going down the leagues compared to those countries. Also, the population of London is as much Paris, Rome and Madrid combined according to Google

The old Wimbledon massively overachieved for about 15 years, particularly after they ended up with us at Selhurst.

I suspect that is merely a debate of what is the 'city'? 'Greater' Rome isn't much smaller than Greater London I suspect.

Over the years many non-league teams have got a minted owner and then been promoted to levels way above their natural station:

Gretna
Colne Dynamos
Rushden + Diamonds
North Ferriby

All had relatively tiny catchment areas and achieved (brought) outstanding success for their natural level. All also went bust when the owners died or had enough. Lots of other current and past examples no doubt.

True. People bang on about Wimbledon, but they never managed to grow their fanbase much. Never went much above 5k hardcore, despite the mythical stories about their natural SW london hotbed of support and how their club was stolen from them. They were a mere carcass at the end of their old existence.

could have...doesnt cut it.

However much we all love Palace, we are still a club that have never won anything, play in a stadium long overdue a refit, and are doing extremely well to be in a seven year Premier stint.

Who would want to be the Wes Ham of anything....lol. I still remember the limos on the motorway.

Sadly they have that 'something' that enables them to be that little bit more established and stabilised as a major club than us. We're getting there but have more work to do if we want to get there.

If only they'd built the Olympic stadium in South London.

On second thoughts, Selhurst is still better then playing in an athletics stadium half filled with day trippers.
