There was no “big 5” back in 03. It was Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool as the big 4 back then.

Your inclusion of Spurs and Everton in an apparent “big 5” lets me know that you probably weren’t aware of that.

Some questions ..

Are you actually from England? Why am I even bothering with people who don't know football?

"The foundation of the Premier League in English football occurred in the early 1990s. The first major step to its formation occurred in October 1990, when the managing director of London Weekend Television (LWT) Greg Dyke met with the representatives of the "big five" clubs - David Dein of Arsenal, Philip Carter of Everton, Noel White of Liverpool, Martin Edwards of Manchester United and Irving Scholar of Tottenham Hotspur.[1] "

Those clubs were traditionally known as the Big 5. That's not my definition. That is how they were referred to everywhere in the press, on TV.
