1. The New York Yankees. The Pittsburgh Steelers. LeBron
James . Sidney Crosby . Floyd Mayweather . Manchester
United. As beloved as those entities are among fans, all of
them are also hated for one reason or another. United
barely edged out Chelsea as the most hated team in the
Premier League among those surveyed by the Mirror , and
it is easy to understand why the club is so disliked. No
team in England has the brand worth and marketability
had by United, and the team’s championships and
victories on the biggest stages of European football have
made the team public enemy No. 1 among many who do
not support the Red Devils.


2. They are owned by an eccentric Russian billionaire who
will seemingly spend whatever money necessary to buy
grow a winning side. Fans of the club are said to be
“ plastic.” The often-controversial Jose Mourinho has
taken the club to title reigns and brought with him his fair
share of haters among Premier League viewers. Chelsea
have enjoyed numerous victories since Mourinho returned
to Stamford Bridge, and the club may, as it pertains to
2015-16, have the deepest squad of any found in the
Premier League. The hatred for Chelsea is only going to
grow with every piece of hardware that t


3. It has been some time since Liverpool finished a campaign
atop the Premier League standings and hoisted the
Champions League trophy, and yet the club remains hated
among pockets of English football fans who follow the
league every season. Part of why Liverpool are so hated
may have to do with the fact that those who support the
club love to take others down a figurative Memory Lane
when talking about the success that the team enjoyed in
the past. Will the hate for Liverpool subside if the team
continues to fail to qualify for Champions League football?
No, probably not.


4. Remember the days when Manchester City were a plucky
underdog scrapping and clawing for victories and
attempting to grab any attention possible away from
Manchester United? Those days are now well into the past
thanks to ownership that has dumped millions upon
millions of dollars into the club. City have since won the
Premier League on multiple occasions, and the perception
that the team has bought titles has made it a hated club
within the “Against Modern Football” faction who long for
the time when smaller teams could realistically compete
with the giants of European football. I’ve got bad news for
those people. Those days are never coming back.

5. One would have to assume that Tottenham Hotspur are as
hated as they are because of people in the team’s fan base
who routinely mention that the team is about to take that
next step into greatness. That step has not yet been taken,
as Spurs are routinely relegated to the Europa League
competition and to second-class status in north London
football on a yearly basis. You can be sure that Tottenham
chairman Daniel Levy would love for his team to be hated
because it is competing to win the Premier League each
and every spring. Maybe one day, Mr. Levy. Maybe one
day.


6. Those who do not accept Arsenal as their favorite Premier
League club often point out that the Gunners seem to love
celebrating those fourth place finishes that have allowed
the team to back into the Champions League. The truth of
the matter is that Arsenal probably would not be as hated
as they are if the team did not feature in the top
European tournament every year. There will eventually
come a time when those running the club will expect
more from Arsene Wenger or from a different manager.
The Gunners will only be more hated when they are again
in the hunt for the Premier League title.

7. “But could he do it on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke?” is a
joke that is thrown out there by fans and by analysts
when discussing some of the best footballers in the world.
Such comments do not fully explain why Stoke City are so
hated within the English football community. Regardless of
who is serving as the manager for the club or who is
wearing the team’s colors on the pitch, it has become
accepted that Stoke are going to play a boring style of
football that more resembles rugby than the beautiful
game. Neutral fans will accept that teams lose now and
again. A boring style of play grows hatred, and
understandably so.


8. Newcastle United have become somewhat of the cockroach
of the Premier League in that the team would likely
survive a nuclear blast and still remain in the England
top-flight. Other teams such a Fulham, Queens Park
Rangers and Norwich City have all eventually dropped
down into the Championships after managing to hold onto
Premier League football for years. Newcastle, meanwhile,
have managed to avoid relegation and become even more
hated in the process. Will the 2015-16 season be the one
that sees Newcastle go down? Don’t hold your breath
waiting for that to happen.


9. You know what would not have helped West Ham United
regarding how much the team is hated among Premier
League fans? Signing English bad boy Joey Barton in
August 2015. All indications are that the move has been
abandoned by both parties, but the hatred non-West Ham
fans have for the club will nevertheless remain.
Individuals within the West Ham fan base have helped to
make the team so disliked as of 2015. This includes one
individual who actually went out and got a tattoo of the
scoreline for when West Ham defeated Arsenal in the
2015-16 Premier League opener.


10. Aston Villa being in the top-ten of the most hated teams in
all of the Premier League for 2015 would make a little
more sense if such a study was conducted among
Cleveland sports fans. Villa are owned by Randy Lerner,
the man who owned the Cleveland Browns for a decade
and who made multiple business decisions that set that
National Football League franchise back for years. Lerner
has been chastised by Villa fans for now doing enough to
bolster the Premier League side, and it has long been
rumored that he would be willing to sell the team for the
right price. That price has not yet been met by any group
or person.
