There’s clearly a huge gap between the top 6 and the rest.

Not true. To teams expecting top 4 this may not matter but to the rest it certainly does. Or would you rather there just be 6 teams in the league?My point is there's a top 4, 5th and 6th place don't matter.
Combination of on pitch performance, players, wages, revenue, recent history etc.Chelsea and United are far ahead of Leicester this season?

I’m actually quite surprised this is a debate.
Just realised we’re talking about different things. I was just making the point about the ‘size’ of the top 6 clubs.It's about how a striker performs against certain teams considered a tier above the rest. On that, I guess I understand what you are getting at, in terms of psychological, based more on reputation, etc.

I’ve chosen not to weigh in on the debate about records against the top 6 but I will say that to be the best you have to be able to produce against the best.

To avoid any confusion from now on, would recommend we use the term "Big Six" instead of "Top Six" when it is related more to size of clubs. This seems to be the term Sky Sports has adopted.
For example:

See I prefer that. Top 6 is a dumb term.
These terms have been around for decades but are more in our consciousness now. Traditionally, there was a big five and then us and Utd made it the top two. Chelsea arrived and made it a big three and with the PL getting four CL places, the top four was born. The three biggest clubs in England have appeared in the EL so the top six was born. It's not where I want us to be. Top three places only tbh.Well not really, Sky just decided to start calling it the top 6 and everyone just parroted it because the media brainwashes people. Really theres a top 2 with City and Liverpool and a top 4 where they are Champions League places. There is no top 6.
It's not just sky but in france too we call it top 6. basically this term is used worldwide not only in england. Whether you like it or not Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea have a history, are known worldwide.See I prefer that. Top 6 is a dumb term.

Probably the worst discussion I’ve ever read on this forum.
There is clearly a big 6 (revenue, points etc) and everyone knows what the term means.
Why are you being so dense about it?Don’t see whats so dumb. I can guarantee top/big 6 isn’t a term you used before last season, but its a thing now.
Don’t you want to know where this new term in your venacular came from? Who coined it? What does it even mean? It only became a thing once Liverpool and Sp**s got their **** together. And how do you even group Arsenal and Man City together when one is aiming to win the title every year but the other aims for top 4? Until you get a CL spot for 5th and 6th there is no top 6.
But then I realised the masses don’t like to question the media and just buy into whatever they’re told. You lot just repeat whatever you hear on Sky and Talksport and act like its your own thoughts.
