    It's very likely. This time ten years ago the thought of Chelsea winning a league seemed far-fetched. For whatever reason, every subsequent generation seems to believe that the teams that are good at the time will always be good.

    Also, lol @ people using the phrase "big four".

    United, Arse & Liverpool will always come back into the fray, but as UC said other teams will come and go. When I was a kid in the late 80s people used to mention a 'big six', no idea who was in it but there you go, it's not a new concept
    I'm just saying
    RIP Craigos. A true CW legend. You will be missed.

    I always knew of a big 5 - United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton and Spurs.

    It's just shorthand, tbh. Everyone knows who it refers to and is quicker than typing ManUre, Scousers, Chavs & The Arse.

    Let me know when Wigan win the title. I believe I'll owe someone a ****load of money. Can't recall who though.

    10 years ago if I'd predicted that Newcastle would win the Championship in 2010 and Leeds would be promoted from the 3rd tier I'd have been locked up in an asylum.

    Meh, probably a red, another meal made of it. This ref is awful though.

    Clear flailing arm to the face, but as usual a disgraceful bit of play-acting to seal the deal.

    Credit to this ref though, he's clearly decided that he doesn't want anything as tedious as a game of football to ruin his one-man whistle show and is making sure that doesn't happen.

    Hope that young Chilean chap didn't give himself whiplash after the stray elbow.
