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

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

[–] BoxOfNothing@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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

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 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months ago

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

[–] JJOne101@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] _cumblast_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] PlasticCupz@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

Just do the most recent major trophy thanks

[–] christmasinjune201@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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 11 months ago

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

[–] Used-Produce-3491@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Fuck da money, a real club that’s why

[–] MOT1919ALAW@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Sheffield Wednesday 😂😂😂

[–] BoxOfNothing@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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

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 11 months ago

Derbyshire borders Greater Manchester.

[–] qwerty_1965@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] themanebeat@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Doesn't matter much we finish top any way

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

[–] Cinn4monSynonym@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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 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 11 months ago

Wednesday died for this :(

[–] EnvironmentalSpirit2@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Thought I see our beloved scunthorpe United

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

Up the Robins.

[–] BoukeMarten@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] SpaceboyMcGhee@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ah yes, the traditional Big 9.

[–] CCullen95@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Something_To_Do_437@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Kerry Mucklowe screaming, cheering, crying right now. Swindon are massive.
