I try not to recognise the existence of Franchise FC. Minus 0.5 I think.

ManUre are obvious, surely? Literally no redeeming features at all.

T*ttenham I hate out of tribal loyalty and because their fans are the biggest bunch of deluded ****s out there. Still a big team? Always win something when the year ends in a "1"? **** off. Won't be happy til Shyte Hart Lane is a multi storey and the players have been sold for vivisection.

Stoke have a **** for a manager and play dog-plop anti-football. Spent a dire afternoon getting gobbed on by their **** fans at the old Victoria Ground too. Away supporters underneath home fans was always fun... Nearly got leathered for being a QPR fan too, which wouldn't have sat well.

Just on the R's, hate Colin, obvz, but always had time for them. Used to try to play football and hate the Chavs with a passion, which is nice, so they only rate a 2. Ditto the Irons too, for all their current sins, they are a proper football club.

Massives - spent years trying to claim they were a big club when they never were, they've finally achieved big club status thanks to being bankrolled by a billionaire. Great achievement, ****s. Similar logic applies to Chelsea's 1 but they started out being slightly less dislikable prior to Roman's arrival.

Liverpool - no explanation required, just absolute ****s, plus the current fanbase is probably the most delusional around. If the cries of "this is our year" were ever actually correct they'd have about 35 titles by now.

Leeds - see first bit about Liverpool. Only ever prolonged period of success was down to playing quite literally the most unattractive brand of football ever played, by some of the biggest ****s ever to have played the game.

Wet Sham and Arsenal dislike due to local rivalries. Liverpool as they were the team everyone supported in the 80s, when they had no connections with Liverpool. Same for Man U, just 90s instead. Everton - just get relegated FFS. Leeds - so many reasons to dislike them.

Manchester United - 5 Because Daddy said so
Manchester City - 2 Ah come on, they've kept me entertained for so long. Let them have their day in the sun. Besides, a few of their fans (ie the ones from Manchester) arn't complete ****s and realise that they are up because of money, and are just enjoying the ride
Liverpool - 3 TBH, give them credit for the decent academy they've had over the years, chucking out some of the better Englishmen alongside ourselves.
Newcastle - 4 Most of my best mates are Geordies
Arsenal - 2 Despite being French, they do try and play with style most of the time, which gets my respect. Also their comic defending. And taking Silvestre
Chelsea - 0 Wouldn't **** on them if they were on fire.
Tottenham - 2 Gained a point due to my success with them on FM11.
Norwich - 4 Purely for the 93 season and the yellow kit
Aston Villa - 4 Dunno really, do have a cousin who's a villa fan
Swansea - 3 Despite being Welsh
Stoke - 1 **** town
Queen's Park Rangers - 2 The names too long and they are trying to be a mini Chelsea
West Brom - 4 Purely as a good friend of mine is a massive Baggies fan, and they used to be so laughable
Sunderland - 1 Half a point each for taking Brown and O'Shea, will gain another if we can fob Evans off to them too
Fulham - 3 Shouldn't have any cares for them, but for that statue
Everton - 4 My grandad was a toffee
Wolves - 2 Mick McCarthy
Blackburn - 0 Just a small town near Burnley. With a KFC.
Bolton - 2 Never offended me as much as everyone else. Gain points for regularly ****ing Arsenal back when they were a title chasing team.
Wigan - 2 Day in the suns past now folks. Go back to eating pies, making up stupid words for things and incest.
Leeds United - 0 Infact, **** it, -4. Be a cold day in hell before those scum ****ers get any credit from me.
Nottingham Forest - 4 Cloughy, family from there, and thank you very much for Roy Keane
Sheffield Wednesday - 4 They need to come back, remember the days of Waddle playing for them fondly
West Ham - 1 Always been a joke club, now with porno owners and fat sam.

5: Consider myself a supporter
4: Don't really support them but respect them and probably support them against another neutral team
3: Neutral/Apathetic
2: They get on my nerves sometimes
1: Hate them
0: ****s are the scum of the earth

TBF, I'll let you off, you do actually post sensible well balanced views on city. Also helps you've been a fan for more than 2 years unlike many.

Actually enjoy chatting to one or two of the blues at work, the attitude for the main is 'Were enjoying it for now, don't worry we'll **** it up come easter!'. Even managed decent, well balanced discussions about the Derby (which is more than can be said for the actual match). One even said 'prefer the 5-1 though, just felt more special'

Leeds definitely winning the battle for the most hated club, with Man U close behind.

Out of interest, were Man U always unpopular or have they only been dreaded since the Premier League begun?

Surely the Busby Babes and the 1968 team cannot have been despicable?
