Fez of Mahrez Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Personally, I've always had a soft spot for Arsenal (Phube ) My uncle used to live in Finsbury Park and the thousands of Arsenal fans decked out in the famous red and white marching to the ground when I went to visit him as a little kid made a big impression on me. I actually "supported" them when I was 4 and my Dad took me to see them beat Luton 3-2 at Highbury in 1988/89. These days it's impossible not to appreciate the kind of football they play, foreigners or no foreigners (ok, plenty of foreigners!). Hate practically everything about Manchester United. (Inspired by Stez's masterclass in two-question polls).
Knighton Matt Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Always had a soft spot for Liverpool as that's where half my family is from and it was more my footie mad uncles up there that got me into football rather than my Dad who is an Aussie and didn't like it that much back then although he loves it now. Hence my first footie experiences were of supporting Liverpool, before I saw the light. Have to say I've lost a lot of love for them since they started signing the whole of Spain they've lost so much identity. Always hated Man Utd. The sheer arrogance and antics coming from that club in the mid 90's when I was growing up was unbelievable. Plus the fact all the tossers in my year at school would be like "Leicester are sh*t...I support a real team, Man U"
The People's Hero Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Favoured: Arsenal Despised: Manchester United. Pity: Chelsea. Identity completely sold out.
Deathside Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Least fav is easy - Even easier since abramovich's involvement with 'em fav (although I'm reluctant to say that) would be manure - Plenty to dislike about 'em but they've had the most players that I've admired - And I do like some of the fan humour / culture
The People's Hero Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Outside of the big four (and I realise that this isn't what the thread is about but...) Liked: Macclesfield Peterborough Barnsley Everton Southampton Blackpool Birmingham Lincoln City Disliked Milwall Derby Forest Sheff United Manchester United Tottenham Wolves Bolton Pretend to dislike as it upsets the gf's family QPR Millwall (oops, did I say pretend?) Don't have much of a dislike for Cov really. Not sure why. Also, used to like Peter Ndlovu and Steve Ogrizovic.
Daggers Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 John Peel loved Liverpool. I loved John Peel. I have never liked Arsenal or Chelsea - Leyton Orient and West Ham are proper London clubs - but I truly hate Manchester United and have done ever since the photo of the lad with the dart in his eye appeared in papers in the early 70's...scum, bandwagoners and celebrity fans. Angus Deaton, the smug cocaine abuser, loves Man United. A typical prawn sandwich eater. Hate 'em.
Stevosevic Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 I would like Man united to win the league out of the top 4, hate arsenal simply because Wenger and no english players except Walcott i just think he doesnt like them.

Strokes Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Most like - Liverpool Hate with a passion - Arsenal
Mack Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 I cant say I have a soft spot for any of the big teams. I hate the 'armchair' mentality of many of their fans, that is not what football is about for me. Chelsea is a joke. Before we moved up here I used to get the odd pair of free tickets through work as the firm had a sponsors deal there. You would see lines of coach's from all over Europe, and I remember one visit there was not a single person who spoke English within earshot of us. It truly is the ultimate Sky sports sell out, overpriced and overrated shithole of a Richard 'hairy' Keys wankfest. Liverpool seem to always be in mourning for someone or something. I respect Fergie but Manure fans are a joke in the majority, that's the ones who have'nt changed to Chelsea....
Phube Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 LIKE: Chelsea, I don't see the problem people have!! People have been buying the league for years (not just with money either!!) Plu s I like Jose and shock, horror they have some British players!!! DON'T MIND either Man U or Liverpool. HATE: Hmmmm it's a toughy!!! Go on then.... Arsenal - everything about them annoys me (they even have padded seats!!!) from the chairman, to the manager, through the players to the fans!!!!!
NFFC Chris Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Like:Chelsea,because of Lampard and Terry and also think Mouriniho is rather amusing. Don't Mind:Man Utd-Don't particular like or dislike them,but have respect for Alex Ferguson Dislike:Arsenal and Liverpool.Arsenal,because they have very few English players and I really don't like that policy.Liverpool,because their boring to watch and their manager is just as boring.Oh I forgot the scouse accent is also annoying!
dave_1988 Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Like: Arsenal, most entertaining of the big four in recent seasons in my eyes Hate: Chelsea, just because of them buying their way to the title. Also don't like Man Utd. because of all the glory supporters who don't realise football exists below the top half of the premier league. Don't Mind: Liverpool, great supporters and their players aren't easily dislike-able, with the exception of Harry Kewell maybe.
Wils Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Ive always liked Arsenal as my premiership team. Cannot stand Man utd.
Guest Gist Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 I most like Liverpool and least like Chelsea.
lcfc_jme Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 I've always had a soft-spot for Arsenal, especially in recent years, as they play entertaining, exciting football, which makes fans take notice and want to see them play. However, in this poll I voted Liverpool, simply because I admire their team-spirit and also the way they play English lads in their side (I know Man Utd do the same, but I cannot stand them seeing as I like Arsenal and Liverpool )! The team I dislike most is Chelsea, simply because I feel that they are ruining football. I disagree with the way they splash the cash around and buy a lot of the worlds top stars (I mean, they are the modern-day, richer version of Real Madrid). I would like to see an Abramovich-style takeover at Leicester, but not to buy a lot of stars, only to rid the club of its debts so they can begin making money again and competing on their own. (apologies for the long post)!
Daggers Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Ive always liked Arsenal as my premiership team. I don't get it...
lcfc_jme Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 I'm gona go out on a limb and say when City were in the Prem, he wanted them to win obviously, but if they didn't, he'd like to have seen Arsenal do well. Also, with City in the championship, the team he wants to win the Prem is Arsenal... ??
lookwhaticando Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Liverpool are my second team - so they win my vote as favoured top four club. As for hated club, I don't mind Man U all that much - tho the fact my brother likes them (picked them in the mid 90s when they were winning, bloody glory supporter... he was born in Nottingham!) hurts them . Arsenal or Chelsea? Hmmm... both, but Arsenal just edge it. I hate both clubs. The only exceptions I make are for the following players: Henry, Terry, Cole, Lampard (tho not always in an England shirt) Also previously Bergkamp and Gudjohnsen - even if he wasn't that good half the time. Oh and Duff. There's an odd Arsenal player I don't mind - Fabregas and Walcott (tho I need to see more of him before I decide if he's any good). Unfortunately, I dislike Arsenal so much I can't even name half their team these days. I know Toure though - cheating bastard should have been banned for that miraculous save Arsenal win because I dislike more of their players. I hate the managers equally - Arshole Whinger for his whinging, and Moanihno for his arrogance and ridiculous 'we didn't lose' statements.

I hate the managers equally - Arshole Whinger for his whinging, and Moanihno for his arrogance and ridiculous 'we didn't lose' statements. Mourinho is hilarious when he goes off on one! His comedy value is second to none when they lose, he's like a spoilt prat who throws his toys out of the pram! You gotta love him for that, especially as a neutral who has no interest in either side. Most like - Man Utd (much more so now, although I hated them with a vengeance in the mid-to-late Nineties). Gotta respect what Fergie's achieved over the years - nobody has dominated the Premiership (yet) like they did in the 90s. Most hate - Chelsea (despite loving Mourinho's antics!). They are destroying the whole ethos of football by buying anyone and everyone they like. There's no such thing as 'coming through the ranks' at Chelsea anymore - all their youngsters have been poached from all over Europe. I hope they win nothing this season, it'd serve them right. Plus, I don't think they have as good a squad this season compared to the last 2 years, they don't have as much strength in depth and their defence isn't as strong without Gallas. Plus Carvalho is a dirty b*stard.
Bert Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Mourinho does provide excellent interviews, that's the thing i look forward to most when Chelsea are on. Like - Man Utd Dislike - Arsenal
nhfox Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Like: Chelsea. I can't hate the team that Gianfranco Zola played for. Plus, I find Mourinho rather entertaining. Dislike: Man Utd. Don't know why, I just do.
Nationwider Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 I'd most like to see Liverpool do well. They were THE club when I was growing up. The world was a simpler, better place when they just won everything. I admire Arsene Wenger's Arsenal for their attacking flair, although his teams occasionally show their uglier side too. Dislike? Man Utd. Always. ABU.
Manwell Pablo Posted 5 September 2006 Posted 5 September 2006 LIKE: Chelsea, I don't see the problem people have!! People have been buying the league for years (not just with money either!!) Plu s I like Jose and shock, horror they have some British players!!! DON'T MIND either Man U or Liverpool. HATE: Hmmmm it's a toughy!!! Go on then.... Arsenal - everything about them annoys me (they even have padded seats!!!) from the chairman, to the manager, through the players to the fans!!!!! o you do like the the thing that is ripping the soul out of football. Tapping up young players and paying tupence for some of the football leagues best young talent. Paying stupid money and wages to/for players who don’t warrant it, turning them into spoilt morons, further pushing the game towards a money business. Oh and they have won the league two years running playing football which is incredibly boring. And you don't like the team responsible for making the premier league one of the most enjoyable to watch in the world, a manager who did it all on a budget that is a percentage of that of Mourinhos or Fergies ( trust Wenger has never bought the title ) a team that has played football better then any other British team has for decades, they are Simply a joy to watch. All based on the fact that Arsenal dont have enough to English players for your liking. Well maybe if the fantastic Chelsea didn't go around illegally approaching and tapping up players then Arsenal may have one more English player.
