Depends how you look at it, really. If you look down and celebrate beating West Ham, Villa, Everton and Saudi Sportswashing Machine to a player, then certainly, we're a big club compared to them. If you look up at the fantastically immense gap between us and the real big boys, then we become what I think we currently are: a mid-size, water-treading club that is suffering from a vehemently severe personality disorder, wherein the fans are charged the second-highest prices in the league but are then told they are 'entitled' when they dare to dream, and are advised to instead just celebrate that we can just about barely outspend and outplay the teams below us (who charge far more reasonable ticket prices and yet take to the field against us these days on an almost even footing with our own wondrous players).
'Entitlement' is a word that needs to be exterminated with extreme prejudice when it comes to our fanbase. They're not entitled. Or 'small time'. They're confused, and somewhat angry that their own investments into the club aren't being matched by our owners. Although I will concede that there is an element of clamishness within our fanbase as well, on the strength of last week's arguments.
