Top Ten Most Hated Premier League Teams in 2018

Here are the Top 10 Most Hated Premier League Teams in 2018 :

10. Aston Villa

In number ten is Aston Villa. Villa was founded in the year 1874 and they play their home games at Villa Park which has been their home stadium since 1897. Aston Villa was the founder member of the football league and the Premier League as well and have never been relegated from the Premier League until last season. They are among five English clubs to ever lift the prestigious trophy which is now called the Champions League trophy.

Many fans hate Aston Villa due to their kind of play which has a unique style and usually is frustrating to the big clubs when they meet. Not only is it due to their game play some also hate their success in the Premier League.

9. West Ham United

In ninth place is English club West Ham United. In recent years the club has been hated more and more as each season goes by. Last season they managed to frustrate Manchester United fans in a situation were Manchester United desperately need three points to boost their top four finish but Villa were not willing to see this happen as they caused Manchester United to drop points.  They also have a notorious violent fan ban base. 

8. Newcastle United 

Newcastle United are among the most hated Premier League teams. Newcastle United have been in the top tier of English football for some time now and this is obviously one of the main reasons as to why they have been hated by some of the fans from opponent clubs. Newcastle have been in serious crisis in the past two seasons as they have nearly been relegated. This is what has has caused a lot of hatred among some of the fans as they believe Newcastle is fit to be in the Premier League and hope they get relegated rather than being saved by whiskers chances.

7. Stoke City

Stoke City scoop seventh on the list. The club which was formerly called Stoke Ramblers back in the days is now known as Stoke City. The potters had struggled to make their name known in the top tier of English football , the Premier League. They managed to get promotion just a few years ago in 2008. Ever since being promoted to the Premier League , hatred towards them has been mounting . They have enjoyed their stay in the Premier League and have managed to take down big names in the Premier League. They always rise above their haters that’s why they have success in the Premier League, they are hardly found in the relegation zone. 

6. Arsenal

In sixth place are the Londoner’s Arsenal. The Gunners are one of the best Clubs in the world and there is doubt about that. As you know how football is, fans tend to hate clubs or players who are dominant. Just like for example fans in Spain despise Cristiano Ronaldo not because he’s a bad person, but because he usually scores and seems to make it look so easy. So it is with Arsenal, they have been in the top four of the Premier League for most of the time in the past decade. They have always managed to qualify for the Champions league and this makes other fans jealous. Arsenal will surely be hated more when they lift a competitive trophy like the Premier League or Champions League trophy.

5. Tottenham Hotspur

In fifth place on the list is the North London club Tottenham Hotspurs. The club has been in the top tier of English football for quite some time now and has gained hate among some fans. Tottenham Hotspur fans are to blame for this hatred as they are always talking about being the next big club in the Premier League as they are about to take a major step in football. However, opposition fans are fade up of this story as they seem to be at the same step each season that goes by. They have been aiming at making it big in the Champions League but always seem to find themselves in the Europa League.

4. Manchester City

Manchester City make the shortlist at number four on our list of Most Hated Premier League Teams in 2018 . They have managed to build up their squad and make it one of the best clubs in Europe. Manchester City used to be an underdog in the last decade but due to change of ownership they have managed to steal some attention away from their neighbors Manchester United. Many opposition fans hate Manchester City not because of their dominance but because of their money. Manchester City have been called all kinds of names by fans and they have criticized to have bought titles .

3. Liverpool

Liverpool make the list at third place on our list of Most Hated Premier League Teams in 2018. It might be hard to know as to why Liverpool are hated by most fans as they hardly qualify for any competitive competition or win any major silverware. They are hated by most fans because of their attitude of thinking they have already won it all. When ever Liverpool fans start talking about trophies they always start bringing up stories of how many trophies they have won before . This is very disheartening as they tend to live on the past and seem to be forgetting what is happening currently. 

2. Chelsea

In second place is the London club Chelsea football club. Since Jose Mourinho joined Chelsea for the second time he has managed to bring silverware to Stamford Bridge and he himself being one of the most controversial and hated managers in the world has also brought more hatred on the Blues. The Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is a Russian Billionaire who does everything possible in his power to boost his team to greater heights .

On top of it all Chelsea have been known to have a very irritating style of game play known as “Parking the bus” when they were managed by Jose Mourinho which has also massively contributed to their hatred.

1. Manchester United

In first place on our list of Most Hated Premier League Teams in 2018 is Manchester United. The Red Devils of Manchester are among the greatest clubs in the world though they are currently not playing to their full expectations. It is obvious why many fans hate Manchester United and there is only one reason, their Success! Manchester United are have the highest Premier League titles in England . They are what we can call the Liverpool of olden days but instead of talking about history they have real things to boast about. In the previous seasons after the resignation of Sir Alex Ferguson as manager, Manchester United have struggled to find their balance with Louis Van Gaal and David Moyes both being sacked. Now they are managed by Jose Mourinho and are hated even more as they have been adopting the “park the bus” method too.
