Arsenal dont deserve the airports.

[–] BoxOfNothing@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

4 of the top 8 in the north west, including 1st, 2nd, and two in joint 4th for league titles cos we're sick up here

Built different yknow

[–] Zombienerd300@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Now make one for “Most successful club in each region of England based on most recent European title won”

[–] PlasticCupz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Then make one for “Most club goals scored for each region of England based on who scored the most recent goal”

[–] qwertygasm@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Just do the most recent major trophy thanks

[–] PompeyJordd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love that the Ipswich badge features a horse doing a cheeky stepover.

[–] Cinn4monSynonym@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Unfortunately, the Suffolk Punch breed is categorised as critically endangered by the UK's Rare Breeds Survival Trust, although their numbers do appear to be increasing gradually. It's been featured on the ITFC badge since 1972, and in its current form since 1995.

Now that's a proper reason to support a football club.

I wouldn't count the CWC as a major honour tbh. We're still top without it, but yeah.

Great post!

[–] BoxOfNothing@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm counting 1 extra trophy for most of these on wikipedia. Not sure if I've missed a thing that a lot of teams have won only 1 of that doesn't count as a major trophy. I was assuming you were removing super cups from this chart

[–] Cinn4monSynonym@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I didn't include single-match super cups (the Charity/Community Shield, the European/UEFA Super Cup and the old Intercontinental Cup) but I did include the FIFA Club World Cup as teams need to win more than one game to be champions. I also didn't include the old Intertoto Cup.

[–] Reach_Reclaimer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah single games would count as minor trophies so I think your process is correct

Did the midlands really need more than one section

[–] LazarusChild@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes? West and East Midlands are almost always divided and are quite different

[–] JJOne101@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Swansea would be the club for Wales, no? 3 League Cups.

How can Arsenal be the most successful club in London when Chelsea has two champions league trophies? The prestige of each trophy should be taken into account.

[–] iforgotmyun@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Arsenal have more than double the league titles Chelsea has for starters...

[–] Used-Produce-3491@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck da money, a real club that’s why

Never realised how far into the North West the East Midlands extend

Can we at least have the Peak District?

[–] sleepytoday@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Derbyshire borders Greater Manchester.

[–] emre23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is pretty cursed, I like it

[–] Ferchokyzer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No Manchester United? Haha

[–] MOT1919ALAW@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Sheffield Wednesday 😂😂😂

[–] BoxOfNothing@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Not far behind Newcastle to be fair, and won a proper trophy much more recently

[–] rthunderbird1997@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sick of this Intertoto disrespect.

Fun graphic but I feel these work better with "trophy weighting"

EC/CL 3 points

League title 3 points

UEFA Cup/EL 2 points

All other cups 1 point

[–] BipartizanBelgrade@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

A European Cup is worth a hell of a lot more than a league title.

[–] themanebeat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Doesn't matter much we finish top any way

I really didn’t like the one where counties were shaded in the colour of the highest finishing team in each. This is much better.

[–] rob3rtisgod@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wednesday died for this :(

Uthred Uthredson would be a Liverpool fan, judging from that map?

Not sure if there was anyone out there that needed reminding that we're fucking massive.

[–] BoukeMarten@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Manchester is red🔴 Wonder how City fans can come back from that

[–] SpaceboyMcGhee@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ah yes, the traditional Big 9.

[–] POLIKE45@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (6 children)

I have no idea in which area Manchester is. How is United not on the list? Do Liverpool and Manchester fall in the same area?

Thought Leeds would be Yorkshire, I was proved wrong.

[–] tym1ng@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I feel like this is a low key fuck you to a lot of those teams considering most of them aren't even relevant anymore
