Either Malawi or Chad, IMO.

 

Don't be jealous because your glory hunting club is no longer considered prestigious

 

But you'll support Real Madrid in a week's time, you crazy goof.

 

still the answer is clearly not them:yuck: With all those part-timers playing for them :yuck:

 

Inter Milan..... treble holders, can't argue with that.

Problem is watching that fat spanish waiter in the subs bench.... some of he glamour goes away with that Paella belly!! (he wish it would be a beer belly.... it would be more aerodynamic 4 sure!!!)

 

Inter Milan..... treble holders, can't argue with that.

trueee

 

Inter. Have to respect that.

Then come Barcelona, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich.

 

Inter the most prestigious ? No. Real and Barca are the clear top two in this regard imo.

 

I am also shocked about Inter.

 

I never thought of prestige this way that's why I never thought of Inter.

 

Most Presigious club in the world right now?


That means the club with the better pedigree.

Which means, the club that has the best and most titles.

The only club to achieve the TREBLE (do you know what that is??) is Inter Milan.... which in the way of achieving the title, beat the overated Barcelona and all its marketing muppets!

 

So just change this name to the strongest team instead of most prestigious. Prestige doesn't change from year to year.

 

pres·tige noun, often attributive \pre-ˈstēzh, -ˈstēj\
Definition of PRESTIGE
1: standing or estimation in the eyes of people : weight or credit in general opinion
2: commanding position in people's minds

So this could be RM. Barca, Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayner Munich, Inter, ACM, Juve, Boca, River and any other club that can fall into the definition....

simply because of their History.

 

Don't worry Ze, english is not your first language

 

LOL at South American sides having any prestige outside of being feeder clubs for Europe.

 

so your opinions are based on Economics and a Eurocentric views?

Than you can add Man City to this list of PRESTIGIOUS clubs

 

Probably Kim Jong Il's favorite team.

 

Take your pick from any of Inter, Milan, Juve, Man United, Bayern, Barça, Real...and even Liverpool.

Dmitriy: prestige doesn't change from year to year, but it may be diminished if a team doesn't win much of note for a long stretch and vice versa.

We could use what appears to be the most straightforward test for prestige: which club would most players want to join because it would be such an honor?

But that wouldn't work.

Not only because money can confuse things but because other factors can come into play - a player may want to join a team because of the current coach or members of the existing squad.

And it wouldn't work because prestige isn't entirely objective either. Someone who lives and breathes EPL may think that Liverpool is by far the most prestigious club in the world in spite of what other clubs have done. So players who are exposed to some leagues more than others may think Liverpool is more prestigious than Barcelona. If most players are exposed to the EPL and their view of which club is the most prestigious is influenced by that, then you could say it skews the result. Or that the media exposure contributes to prestige.

 

 

I find players like Essien, Toure, Obi Mikel, etc. just don't have the same footballing intelligence as guys like Deco, Lampard, Xavi, etc.

What are your thoughts, calcio?

 

you really made a fool of yourself this time with the Chad comment while trying to beat the record of "The first fool to oppose calcio"

 

Who woke Ze out of his hibernation....

Why did you do this ????? Why....

 

I thought this was.

 

I thought this was.

Things have moved on. It's like this now.

 

With all due respect to the many great clubs of the world;

the most prestigious club is Real Madrid, always was and always will be.


And the only response to anyone who refuses to admit otherwise is;

 

Prestige is something that lingers a long time, so to ask who the most prestigious club right now is, as if things have changed dramatically, is stupid.

 

ok, :rollani: so who is the most prestigious:rollani: Juve?

 

Christ, trolling is difficult when people are apparently incapable of basic reading comprehension. Granted, English isn't everyones first language, but it's not so fun

I said that all South American clubs are European feeders. I said that all South American cups (including the Copa Liberatores) is at best on a par with the Scottish Cup. That should probably cover Boca, Flamnego, The Strongest, Santos and every other side in South America.

But now I've explained it, the trolling doesn't work so much. Poo

Incidentally, Chelsea have minimal prestige. Well, minimal long term prestige. I guess they have a degree of short term prestige, though I'm not entirely sure what you'd call short term prestige.

 

Your ignorant :thumbsup::smileani:

I doubled checked on the English dictionary I have here the meaning of the word.

Obs: English is my first language as Portuguese!:thumbsup:

 

Manchester United. You pricks.

 

barca, real, milan, man utd, chelsea, inter. In that order

 

Why Chelsea before Inter? Before this decade, they'd only won one league title. No CL or CL-equivalent either. Not to mention they spent quite a bit of time in the lower division.

Oh, haha. That's right. Forgot your agenda for a minute.

P.S. You left Bayern out.

 

Wrong. Trolling amuses the person doing it.

Good trolling can amuse many, though I don't claim to be any good at it, compared to Andy or Dagoods.

 

Gaborone United

 

This is actually very true in our local league:thumbsup:

 

On a sidenote: my favorite hangout place in Cairo is called prestige.

Great

 

chelsea is obviously more prestigious than inter now simply because premier league is far more prestigious than serie a and chelsea have been dominant in epl and champions league while inter maybe winning serie zzz but nobody cares about that league. in cl they have always sucked and last season inter didnt win the cl jose mourinho did

 

Why didn't Mourinho win the CL with Chelsea if he's a CL-winning guarantee, then?

 

Best way to look at it is which clubs have the most influence in the transfer market. Real and Barca are basically 1a and 1b in regards to attracting players. Then come the rest.

 

I don't look at it that way. Imagine (sorry TGO) that City get their act together and build a juggernaut over the next few years and win two CLs. They would be prestigious in the sense you're talking about, sure. But would that suddenly make City more prestigious than United or Real or Barça? I don't think so.

I look at prestige the way people look at brands. Patek Philippe has been around for ages and is regarded as a prestigious brand of watch. If Swatch started making the superior type of watches with complications now, I wouldn't regard them as the most prestigious brand in 5 years.

You're right about Real and Barça, but I don't think current transfer market influence is the test here.
