No point arguing against it with me, United and Liverpool are the two biggest clubs by a mile but lots of younger people (especially outside the UK) view Chelsea as bigger than Liverpool because they were competing for titles more frequently when they were growing up. You'll see the same happen with City.

Blinkered viewpoint, but I get your point. Personally Poch won't last the season and Chelsea won't make Europe again this season either.

Do they? Genuinely you see Liverpool shirts all over the world, certainly more than Chelsea.

So when you see Liverpool preseason games abroad they are packed out, Utd too, then seen Chelsea games with about 15 people there. Liverpool and Utd are still and will always be miles bigger than any other English club

Back in 2013 Chelsea were estimated to have the second-largest worldwide fanbase

Which is the Premier League's biggest club?

After Daniel Sturridge's crowd-pleasing verdict on Liverpool's status, Phil McNulty says Manchester United have an unbreakable case.

English Premier League Teams Popularity rankings

Popularity ranking of the teams in the English Premier League based on number of social media followers

If you google 'biggest english club worldwide' Chelsea are second on every list that i checked (although some of them are probably using the same source that the BBC used)

Chelsea were very successful in a key period of Premier League history when the leagues popularity overseas was starting to sky rocket.

Pretty much their entire fanbase outside the UK will have developed since Abramovich took over

Newcastle v Chelsea in Atlanta had 70,000 people attend this past July.

A week before that 65,000 people watched Chelsea v Brighton in Philadelphia

And before that, 50,000 people watched Chelsea v Wrexham in North Carolina

Where are you getting the idea Chelsea can't sell tickets for pre-season games? I've seen them play plenty of pre-season games in sold-out venues in both the US and Asia.

That's a lot of people going to watch Brighton and Wrexham. If you think in the second match they were all there to watch Chelsea then I'm worried for your mental health.
 
I didnt watch it but lol Chelsea.

Ward Prowse's set pieces are deadly and what a strike by Antonio. Looking forward to that podcast now.

Edit Caicedo with a beauty for the penalty :D:D
