The Mail Bag

Four...

Slightly sick of referring to the Big Four as the Big Four and hearing others call them the Big Four.

They exist but I wish someone would come up with a collective name that was (1) Less complementary to them and (2) Less denegrating to us.

Best I can think of right now is above-the-law-four (due to poll result on referee treatment)... But one of you must have something wittier, catchier, more hard hitting or all three... Ideas anyone?

The Big Three Plus Rafa’s Red Rubbish!

Joking aside (who’s joking?).......I truly believe that on the present course we’re on...the big four will change this season.....this Saturdays result is critical...one game won’t determine the season but of the present string of results Saturdays is vastly important!

The problem with the so-called Big Four is the perception in the public and media’s eye that there is truly this supposedly elite group of four teams ......you only have to go searching for, let’s say a tshirt or any soccer related stuff on the web and the big four keep coming up!!!! The media do prattle on more about those four than anybody else............it’ll all change soon though.............COYB!!!!

The Big 4 will stay the Big 4, only until Platini changed the CL back to domestic winners only (as if).
And here’s why the Big 4 will stay the same....

Four? Forty.

"Give us Forty million quid mate. What can you get for four million quid these days? You don’t understand, I’ve only got January to spend it and the last forty million just went down the swannee.

What was that? You won’t sack me and pay me six million to f off?

OK boss - just like you say"

Not very snappy, I’ll grant you, but fairly close to the mark I think.

How come the 2nd 3rd and 4th in the league are all called big? Growing up in Liverpool, I was always told that if you finished 2nd it was first last. To me, No 1 is big. Has this term big 4 come about because the red shite are the 4th in this so called list of big clubs? If they slip to 5th or 6th, will it be the big 6? Chelsea ? what makes them big? Please someone explain.
