    Impressive that our trophy record is still remembered considering we won them all during the Bronze Age!

    Good post OP. I thought it would be interesting to see what the map would look like if the honours were weighted by significance. I think it’s only right that a league title should be given greater importance than a league cup.

    It wasn’t easy, but these are the weights I settled on (and I think we all can agree that these are fair) :

    • League Title = 6 points
    • FA Cup = 2 points
    • League Cup = 1 points
    • Champions League/European Cup = 25 points
    • Europa League/UEFA Cup/Inter-Cities Fairs Cup = 4 points
    • Cup Winner’s Cup = 4 points
    • Europa Conference League = 2 points
    • FIFA Club World Cup = 1 point

    Here’s the updated map!

        I wouldn’t possibly let my bias influence this!

        Besides, English teams between them have won the CL/European Cup 15 times between them. And the teams who have won it at least once (Liverpool, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Manchester City) have 62 league titles between them.

        62/15 = 4.1

        That’s empirical evidence that the European Cup is at least 4 times harder to win than the league, therefore 4 times more significant! (And it doesn’t even include the teams who have tried but never succeeding in winning it)

    Did not expect to see my home town on here! We are Swindon, we are massive. Kings of the south west.

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

        I remember Sheffield Wednesday reaching both cup finals when I was younger, though they lost them both to Arsenal. At the time I associated their success with Chris Waddle and their relegation with him getting older. He was a brilliant player, but looking back they had a few internationals in that side:

        Don’t remember Newcastle winning anything either though they had a fantastically entertaining team that lead the league for ages under Keegan (the “I’d love it if we beat them” season)

      Yeah, I was shocked at that too, they’ve got 8 vs our 7.

      Though they’ve only won a single league cup since WW2, whereas we’ve won all our trophies between 1968 and 1992.

    I’m think trophies won back in the Victorian era are skewing things a bit here. Looking at you Wednesday.

    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
