There are probably more Liverpool supporters over here than any other club except United, with whom they're probably on par. certainly from my generation, Liverpool is the most widely supported club due to their success in the 80s and, I suppose, their supporters love of pumping long balls through all day which is the style back then.
They're also easily the most hated club by non supporters arent they? City/Chelsea/Utd winning anything is met by apathy by others at this point, while Liverpool winning it would be difficult to stomach for a ton of people.
Not to mention Eto'o and Falcao. Even Pato counts as a once highly rated striker who was pretty much a comedic figure by the time he arrived at Chelsea.
I really wouldn't have said so tbh, not around here anyway.
They’re pretty comfortably the least hated of the top six, Arsenal fans aside. Still hated a lot though. Plenty of hate to go around in football.
Yeah, I don't really mind Spurs (or any football team which play an entertaining style)- the reasons were for devil's advocate sake of explaining why anyone other than Arsenal fans would dislike them.
He’s alright. Everton are recovering from a few seasons of shocking squad management. Stuck with loads of average, ageing players on high wages. You don’t look at their players and think they should be higher in the league the way you would have when Martinez was in charge.
When they visited PP recently I found the bulk of their fans good value. A few burst out the old ‘you’ll never get a job’ dirge but on the whole they got behind their team (and all in all were fairly respectful).
