Playing beautiful, expansive football is very important, but it often ends up meaning very little to the big clubs if trophies are not won.
Now more than ever, social media is the battleground for tribalism and point-sharing, with rival fans vying for the unofficial title of “England's best club”. However, as this is a fairly abstract concept, perhaps the only way to quantify it is to take a closer look at the trophy cabinets of the biggest teams.
