Top 10 Best UK Football Clubs

This isn't about who had a good season or who made the flashiest transfer. It's bigger than that. You're voting for clubs with history, with grit, with something that makes you proud to wear the shirt. Even when your team's parked the bus for 90 minutes and still lost.

Some clubs have cabinets full of silverware. Others have fans louder than jet engines and loyalty so deep it survives relegation. Maybe it's the legends that played there, the rivalries that still make your heart race, or just that one magical night in Europe that never fades. Whatever it is, you know what counts.

Vote for the clubs you think truly deserve their spot at the top. It doesn't matter if it's for the glory, the legacy, or just because your dad raised you right.

The Top Ten

Liverpool

Liverpool Football Club is a Premier League association football club based in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. Founded in 1892, the club has won numerous domestic and international titles, including multiple UEFA Champions League trophies. Anfield is the club's home stadium.

Most passionate fans. They sing the best songs. The city is a city of music and football like no other in the world. Liverpool are the best football club in the world, and this will become clearer to all over the next years and decades. You'll never walk alone.

Liverpool have the most amazing football-educated fans in GB, if not the world. Anfield atmosphere - is there anything else like it in the world? If you're not a Liverpool fan, then it's your loss!

The Reds... history is still in the making. This coming season will be even more successful!
Manchester United

Manchester United Football Club is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, that competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football. The club was founded in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR F.C. and changed its name to Manchester United in 1902. It is one... read more

Manchester United has ruled English football ever since Alex Ferguson took over. Pretty obvious choice, isn't it? 20 league titles.

Manchester United are way better than Liverpool. Liverpool suck. Go on, Red Devils!

Most fans worldwide, most domestic league titles. It's the biggest club in the world.
Manchester City

Manchester City Football Club, commonly known as City, is a football club in Manchester, England. Founded in 1880 as St. Mark's, it became Ardwick Association Football Club in 1887 and Manchester City in 1894. The club has won multiple Premier League titles in the 21st century and is one of England's... read more

Should be number 1. Everyone knows this club as City. All other clubs with City in their name are known by their town name, e.g., Leicester City are known as Leicester. There's only one City!

A team that used to have lots of ups and downs, but now thanks to the new owners, they can basically buy anyone in the world.
Chelsea

Chelsea Football Club is a professional football club based in London, England, that competes in the Premier League. Founded in 1905, the club has played at its home ground, Stamford Bridge, since its inception. Chelsea won their first league title in 1955 and secured several domestic cup victories between... read more

Under Jose Mourinho, Chelsea beat Manchester United to the Premier League title. He is now returning for the 2013/14 season.

Should be top. Should be top. Why is it not top?

Chelsea have won a lot of trophies, some old, some new. Yeah, they are having a rough time, but it's only the beginning. They'll pick it back up again.
Arsenal

Arsenal Football Club is a professional football team based in Islington, London, England. The club competes in the Premier League, which is the highest level of English football. Arsenal has a rich history, including multiple league titles and domestic cup victories.

It doesn't matter that they haven't won trophies recently. They've played beautiful, exciting football. They will soon! Unlike any other club, they've been in the Champions League for the past 17 years.
They are not the plaything of some megarich fat cat. They have achieved all this at a net cost of just £9M over ten years, and that includes a brand new stadium.

If all management ran their clubs like Arsenal, then we could really say the Premiership is the best league in the world. No chopping and changing managers every five minutes. No overspending and going bust. Great stadium and fantastic football.
Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, commonly referred to as Spurs, is an English football club located in Tottenham, Haringey, London. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1882, Tottenham has won multiple domestic and international trophies, including two... read more

Ok, so looking through comments for other teams, especially Arsenal, people keep talking about history and past achievements. Let me break it to you: we are talking about now. Based on recent years, Tottenham beat Arsenal.
Tottenham have better youth programs, squad depth, starting 11, defense, midfield, attack (maybe), and play. People criticize Tottenham for not spending a lot of money, but look where we are: beating Chelsea, Arsenal, and United without spending a penny this season.
Tottenham is a prime example of developing the squad. I could keep going, but this comment is getting long, so I'll stop here.
Celtic

Best team with bigger support worldwide than most clubs. They should focus on improving the Scottish league and national team rather than concerning themselves too much with joining the EPL. Model on Ajax, which has been fantastic this season. Forget England's top six clubs. They are money-driven only. Matt. LA

Set up to raise money for starving Irish immigrants. One of the first to have colored players. Have always been multidenominational. Celtic are an institution, not just a football club. Hail Hail.

They have won the Scottish league many times, including this and last season, even beating Barcelona in the Champions League.
Everton

Everton Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England, that competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. The club has played in the top division for a record 121 seasons, missing it only four times since The Football League was founded in 1888. Everton... read more

David Moyes (now Manchester United manager) has turned them into a much better club.

Everton, a wonderful football club with great supporters. Hopefully, one day they will be challenging in the Champions League.
Leeds United

Leeds United Football Club is a professional football team based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. Founded in 1919, the club has a long and storied history in English football.
Leeds United has won several major honors, including the First Division title and the FA Cup. As of 2025, the club competes... read more

Obvious sleeping giant. One game away from being a top 4 team, and we were already a top 6. Winning that semifinal against Valencia probably could have been enough financially. I do not think we had to win the final, and so began the Leeds curse of getting close but falling short.
Again this season, I believe we beat both Derby and Villa twice. Not sure about the others, but Leeds were the most attractive going forward. Now with Bielsa allowed to bring in some players, we will finish top, maybe with a record-breaking points total in the league's history, which I think Wolves hold. MOT

Alan Pardew had a great last season, almost getting a Champions League place, but this year just avoided relegation.
Wolverhampton Wanderers

On the way back. Why, as a professional footballer, would you not want to play at Wolves? Can you honestly think of a better place to play?
Great owners, great manager, great backroom team, great team on the pitch, great history, great supporters, and soon to be top six. Watch out, you other big football clubs. Wolves are coming after you.
West Ham United

Having had a great last two seasons, I have decided to put them in the top 10.
