The ‘Big Six’ is an informal term that is used to describe the biggest clubs in the English Premier League. In the 2000s there was a big 4 of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool. In the 2010s they were joined by Manchester City and Tottenham. They are traditionally the most successful clubs, have large fanbases, and generate most of the revenue for the entire league between the 6 clubs. Some people might say that Tottenham shouldn’t be a ‘Big Six’ club due to their Spursy nature.
Should Aston Villa and Newcastle be in with a shout to replace Spurs in the ‘Big Six’ conversation now they’re regularly in the Champions League?
