This is doing the rounds just now and promoting debate. It's based upon success in England over the last 30 years.
I've seen a version of that too. I can only assume that whoever did it was on powerful drugs.
I suppose Accy will be pleased because it puts Blackburn near the top of the pile.
The way football clubs are viewed obviously varies hugely and is pretty fascinating.
The lads I used to play football with, mostly Newcastle fans, used to slag me off when I rocked up in my Killie tops. Which I took, because it's fair - we are a provincial side in a country where (sadly) only two teams are given any thought (though this may change now that Warnock is at Aberdeen). I didn't really care, because as much as I love the game, I don't take it particularly seriously.
But one guy, "Philipsy" took it too far, kept asking why I bothered, why I didn't support a "big club" and all that. I got fed up eventually, and pointed out that we'd won the top flight more recently than Newcastle, and in my lifetime had won both the Scottish and League Cups, the latter against a "big club" in Celtic. The nail finally went into his irritating wee coffin when I said that until winning the Championship, Newcastle had won nowt since the Fairs Cup which doesn't even exist any more.
