We're the smallest club in the Premier League?

Brentford
Watford
Norwich
Brighton

I'd argue we're bigger than those.

all depends what factors people are judging a "big club" on

Number of supporters at Newcastle = 50-60k
Number of trophies at Newcastle = :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Number of supporters at Man City = :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Number of trophies at Man City = lost count

I'd always judge on the success of a club rather than supporter base (so irrelevant) - so with that in mind we are head and shoulders above the rest

The media define how big a club is based in how much money the club owners have. Since our owners have around -£100 million then we are by far the smallest club in the prem.
