Played them in the Dubai Cup.Might as well chuck Everton in there if Man City are getting a mention.
Long enough to remember Scott Nesbit score against Club Brugge.How long has steve been supporting us then.?
Liverpool.
By a country mile.
Really? That rules out Real Madrid then who were founded in 1902Real football teams are from the 1800's. What big team from then haven't we played?
Well, they are now, so deal with it. They’ll be achieving success for many years to come.No it doesn't. It makes them a good (great) team, it doesn't make them a massive club/team.
Lunacy! Arsenal are the biggest joke in English football. Chelsea are Champions League winners.You're not a big club if you're continually having to tell people you're a big club. Despite their success Chelsea are still the wee guy in London.
Arsenal dwarfs any team in the English capital.
So have Aberdeen and Ipswich.Man City have won a European trophy though.
That doesn’t make them a massive club though. They’re a rich team in the modern era, they’ll never be the size of United, Arsenal, Liverpool in terms of history in England.Well, they are now, so deal with it. They’ll be achieving success for many years to come.
Your point is irrelevant. They’ll likely be challenging in Europe for decades to come now. What happened before doesn’t matter.That doesn’t make them a massive club though. They’re a rich team in the modern era, they’ll never be the size of United, Arsenal, Liverpool in terms of history in England.
Having gone and checked YouTube I remember Whittaker’s goal now but I couldn’t remember who it was against.

You mean like Chelsea?Man City aren't even a big team in England let alone in Europe. Oil money doesn't = big team.
My memory is terrible, have we played Benfica in European competition, if not they would have to be up thereThinking Man City or Atletico Madrid ?

Played them last season!My memory is terrible, have we played Benfica in European competition, if not they would have to be up there
Told my memory was terrible, remember games from 30+ years ago no problem. Dementia LoyalYou've got to be at it.
Drew with them home and away last season FFS
But not quite long enough to learn how to spell his nameLong enough to remember Scott Nesbit score against Club Brugge.
You just trying to get the Feyenoord/Sporting boy off the hook here?! FfsMy memory is terrible, have we played Benfica in European competition, if not they would have to be up there
To me, in London and anyone else that walks around London. You'll see 3 Arsenal shirts to every 1 other club shirt (Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool....)To what age group? Those who are about 70+
They're not the best just now, but their fan base is huge down here.Lunacy! Arsenal are the biggest joke in English football. Chelsea are Champions League winners.

That doesn’t make them a big club though. Having money doesn’t mean they’re a big club, I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for City and love Pep Guardiola but they’re by no means a ‘huge club’ or one of Europe’s biggest.Your point is irrelevant. They’ll likely be challenging in Europe for decades to come now. What happened before doesn’t matter.
Chelsea aren’t among the biggest clubs in Europe either imo. They’re a bigger club than City though, they’ve always had some form to success or be challenging for trophies throughout their history.You mean like Chelsea?
Can you back up that claim? Over the last decade I’ve only ever seen Chelsea’s global fan base as being second to Man Utd in various articles.Throughout history they are bigger than Chelsea - far bigger fanbase worldwide aswell
Think I managed it quite wellYou just trying to get the Feyenoord/Sporting boy off the hook here?! Ffs
What makes a club "big"?The likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and PSG are rich clubs. They're not big clubs. They're the equivalent of Dundee Utd or Hibs with an uber rich owner.
Size of Paris to Dundee and all the backing PSG have had well before this latest mob, bloody hell.The likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and PSG are rich clubs. They're not big clubs. They're the equivalent of Dundee Utd or Hibs with an uber rich owner.

Memento LoyalMy memory is terrible, have we played Benfica in European competition, if not they would have to be up there
As long as it's not written in the same star that had us playing Slavia in the play off round.Written in the stars for Gerrard to lead us into Anfield in this seasons Champions League
Along with Liverpool, that’s my guess.Milan?
Incredible one, Atletico Madrid.So, outside of British clubs, is the answer Atletico Madrid?
Keep it to big clubs.Shellick!!!!!
When two Scottish clubs are in the same European competition, there are usually another thirty in the same draw.It’s crazy to think that no Scottish clubs have been drawn together in a European tie of any description..
English clubs have been drawn against each other on a regular basis. Imagine playing them in a quarter or semi final of a European competition!!!
Would possibly be our and their biggest game ever!! Certainly outwith winning a European trophy.
