That Daily Mail article is from 2013...

What's the question being raised here? 😆

Laca: "No, no, no, no." "No, no, no, no, no no." "Oh ja ja" 😆

There are Tottenham fans who think Liverpool and Manchester United are their rivals!?

That's bizarre.

For Mancs it's from the time when they were the whipping boys every time they visited Old Trafford. Probably bitter.

Hardly anyone hate us other than the scums

Probably a by effect from all the years pundits kept bigging them up as though they were a big club

goon

City fans think Liverpool fans are their biggest rivals? Their fans really were born yesterday.

I love that Stoke is on our list.

Mirth

I respect that Spurs fans seem to hate us equally.

Bold Tone

I agree 100% with the majority of Gooners who took part so i assume the results from the other teams are correct.
I love that Leicester City and Southampton randomly hate the totts!

Edit: Looking at it more deeply, there's a lot of recency bias especially in regards to man city and tottenham. The effect of chelsea is minimal as, like millwall, they have always been universally despised.

jones

Liverpool should be way higher. Not even because of their recent rise I've hated them since the days of Houllier, regardless of how shit they were their fans players staff and pundits were always insufferable twats.

Bold Tone

Nah. Even you find yourself sticking out here (very tiny sample of fans) as your hatred for them is out of step with the majority.
Most of us just think they are clowns but don't particularly dislike them like we do tottenham, manu, chelsea and stoke!

jones

Nah yourself. I didn't say I liked any of the other clubs but they definitely should be above Stoke at least. I despise Stoke but come on they're not nearly relevant enough to be on that type of list, while just recent stuff with Liverpool like their dickhead owners comments about us or the Firmino contract mentioning us by name should be enough to warrant at least 4th spot.

Bold Tone

Stoke are only ahead of them because of the Ramsey situation and even then it's only by 1%

goon

Meh, Liverpool's direct interaction with us is pretty insignificant to be honest, both on and and off the pitch, historically and in more recent times. The Stoke stuff with Ramsey, the songs/chants, Pulis and the fact that the hatred is mutual make it more valid even if it will probably turn out to be temporary.
