Most unreasonable fans of the season awards 14/15

Football fans are stupid. I don't think this is a particularly controversial statement. We've all moaned and groaned about something only to be proved completely wrong. Furthermore, it is common place for fans to pursue the belief that they actually know more about football than the players or the managers.

But sometimes, fans take it too far and their criticisms of their clubs are so ridiculous that people outside of their circle just think they are plain unreasonable.

Here are some contenders for "most unreasonable fans of the season".



Newcastle fans: We all remember the signs they held up at St James' park. Silly pictures of Pardew with a W/D/L ratio that spelled out a welsh town. The amount of abuse that the silver fox received on a weekly basis surely made his life hell. But why couldn't the fans see that on the 10th January when Pardew got his first result as Palace manager that he had left Newcastle in a very respectable 10th position and looking up? Now that Newcastle look increasingly like getting relegated, most of the toonarmy are still of the belief that Pardew was a crap manager and that him leaving was the right decision. Verdict: Morons

Leicester City fans: What a magnificent job Nigel Pearson did with Leicester in the 13/14 season. They won the league with 102 points, 9 more than 2nd placed Burnley. Leicester carried over their good form in the championship into the Premier League where they started brightly and deservedly beat a Manchester United side 5-3 who had spent £200m on world-class players. But suddenly Leicester fans realised they were not winning every week in the Premier League, even though they had spent a fraction of the money the top clubs had. This was deemed unacceptable and all of Pearson's achievements in the previous season had been deemed irrelevant. The fans wanted him out and believed they would kick on with a new manager. Verdict: Deluded

Cardiff City fans: After booing the players after only the second minute of Cardiff's 1-0 loss to Middlesbrough in mid-September, Ole was sacked as Cardiff manager and Russel Slade was eventually appointed manager in October. He took over a team in 17th who were playing poorly. Fellow addicks will recall an extremely woeful Cardiff side coming to the Valley and somehow holding out for a 1-1 draw in December after Johann scored an absolute worldy. It is fair to say though that Slade has done a pretty reasonable job in turning round their fortunes. Not only did they finish the season beating Forest away, but Cardiff actually finished above Charlton in 11th position. Slade, however, still receives dogloads of abuse from the fans who simply think he is unsuited for this job. All signs seem to point to Cardiff having a much better season next year. Verdict: Bastards
