Arsenal...when they were top their fans had absolutely no humility for anyone else. I travelled with loads of them 10/15 years ago on the train from Basingstoke. Fans from other clubs would board the train on the way up and all they did was take the p**s out of them, there isn't so many of them travel now.
Liverpool...Their fans think they have a divine right for success forgetting how arrogant they were in the 70's and 80's.
Man Utd...sick of fans who say Utd as if we are all supposed to know there is only one club called Utd...
From a League 1 perspective, I would say some Sunderland fans can come across arrogantly. Yes, they've had it tough for a long time and it must be great for them to be winning games again, but some of their fans really do think their team is the bees knees and that they're a huge club. Yes, they've been in the prem not so long ago, but I would say they're only marginally bigger than us or Pompey.
Walked back to the station after the match at the start of the season up there when we lost in the last minute and lots of their fans were very ungracious in victory.
Must be tough for them as their big rival city up there in that weird part of the country is significantly better by pretty much every imaginable measurement, including football.
I must be the only person on here that doesn't that doesn't 'hate' Palace. Goal of the season, beating Man City and seemingly safe from relegation... Well done them. Flag away, you bitter lot.
Disgraceful comments, you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself!

I don't hate them either, and winning at City and scoring the goal of season in the process ! Gloat away, Townsend only does Christmas crackers.
Having said that, we beat City 4-0 in the Premier League, and we are Spartacus.
Palace aren't even a South London club, as they are situated in the rubbish tip of Surrey. Don't care what recent post codes say.

I didn't until yesterday when they beat Liverpool's only serious rival for the title. Even the 3-3 that put paid to the bin dippers chances a few years back can't make up for that.
This thread seriously feels like oppositeland. I thought it was just widely-accepted fact that Arsenal fans were the laughing stock of English football, and Spurs fans were just...well, kind of normal?
Every Spurs fan I know has been resigned to being an also-ran for most of their lives. They’re a bit more excitable now, but none of them have expectations of winning the league, and didn’t even when Leicester were the only team they were competing with.
Arsenal fans are the opposite. But they’re not as nasty as Chelsea, which is why I choose them.
Chelsea fans are less annoying/arrogant/deluded, more straight-up hateful tbf

Hard to characterise Chelsea fans as to me they seem pretty divided between people who supported them prior to the Abramovich era - those ones are normally utter psychopaths. Then the other, new, part of their support base who have only been fans for 15 years and think football history began we old Roman bought the club, these are pretty much all tossers.

I have never flagged anybody ever before but, that is the most disgusting thing I have ever read on here.

I never flagged this post but I can understand why some have. I've no idea how many post on here but I doubt that one single poster will agree with you.

Yeah, the stripeys being relegated, while unlikely, was one of the few things I was looking forward to football-wise outside of any progress we make.
I don't know any regular Liverpool fans; have good mates who are Arsenal and are quite realistic though I appreciate that's possibly a rarity. Know a few Spurs. It's funny to watch the deluded northerners battle it out at work. There's a fair few S/T holders from both North London teams, as well as a Spanner and a Hammer on my floor. Surprised there hasn't been more West Ham nominated what with them winning the world cup and all that.
Liverpool end of. My stomach turns just thinking of them winning the Prem this season. Media love in and the sense of entitlement they all feed off it.

Yet another reason to hate palarse after yesterday's result
I'm surrounded by Stoke fans at work and I have to say they are the most delusional I've ever come across.
Other than that, Man Utd fans by a country mile.
They're a bit more contrite this season though Bob especially when I offered some of them my book of directions to L1 grounds earlier this season .
Edit; also got a fair sprinkling of Manure who I love telling to watch a bit of lower league stuff for something to moan about, Citeh who I enjoy hearing them wind up their neighbours and Port Vale fans who I sympathise with .
Might be a generational thing but I know quite a lot of Spurs fans and they're pretty level-headed tbh. But then I guess they've only ever known failure (until recently)
I think we're about the same age and most of the spurs fans I know are right bellends.
Have been wondering whether to add my thoughts and have deleted my draft about twenty times over now...
Perhaps I see it differently to everyone else on here. Primarily in defence of Spurs. Excuse the long post, I've been typing it over best part of 3 days now.
Spurs' support is pessimistic. Always has been in the years since I went to games on my own since my early teens from 1990 onwards. We expect something to go wrong and usually it does. Spursy. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. We coined that word ourselves long before the press and media got hold of it.
16-17,000 of us went to Barcelona two week ago expecting us to get a result but only for Inter to get a result against PSV. We're still in shock that we're through.
Are Spurs a big club? 2 leagues titles, 8 FA cups, 4 league cups and 3 major european trophies says we are. Granted, pathetic number of league titles compared to those around us but hey. Not many clubs have got a loyal following like ours. What else do you measure it on? Money? 10th richest club in the world last time I looked.
Arrogant? Not at all, thats just stating facts. Annoying? Absolutely, hell yeah! Ignorant? I wouldnt say so, you need to stay realistic. We all appreciate our position in the football pyramid. All our hearts will say Poch stays and builds the club, all our heads says he goes to Madrid or Utd when offered the job. Of course you can argue all day long that Spurs are a big team, have a better team and youngsters coming through than Utd and he gets £8.5m a year...but Utd can spend £100m+ on a player, spend £350k pw on wages and he could make the biggest club in the world even bigger. The Glaziers would back Poch. Debatable whether Levy and ENIC want to. Joe Lewis despite being worth £6bn seems to want to spend more on his art collection than buying the class of player that would take us to the level we all dream of. I dont think we need an awful lot, one truly world class player. Bale would be epic to rotate in and out of our front four. If there's any chance that will persuade Poch to stay, there is no time like the present to act with some balls and show we are a big club by acting like one.
God help us if Poch decides enough is enough.
The fans that tick all the boxes for me are the Wall Pushing Bin Dippers. @ValleyGary describes them much more eloquantly than myself further back in the thread.
For ignorance alone, Chelsea win that hands down. Vile racist scum. Always was, always will be.
Talking ignorance, special mention for Martin Tyler on Sky yesterday. He name checked Manchester United more times than he did Everton during the game.
Merry Christmas all. Here's to Roland fucking off and Spurs winning the title sometime in my lifetime. Big mwahs x

When we got relegated to the 3rd division under Parkinson, some of the comments on this forum when we were playing "small" clubs were in pretty much the same vain as much of what is commented on in this thread.
I have no doubt that supporters from other clubs saw us (collectively) as a bunch of tossers.
Perhaps we should accept that all clubs have some tossers, and some clubs have many - the bigger the club, the more tossers, and this comes through in arrogance.
There are, of course, obvious exceptions to this. I can think of two local clubs, both of whom are small, both of whom are dominated by tossers...

Agreed - it often depends on who you spend time with. At school, I thought the West Ham fans were jerks, but Palace were the absolute worst. Millwall fans, although they occasionally trotted out their adorable "We're well 'ard" lines, were often nice people. @Stu_of_Kunming don't know if you agree with this?
As a primary school teacher now, it's interesting seeing which clubs are popular. Lots of Arsenal, Man Utd, more Chelsea than there used to be, Liverpool, one or two Spurs. And now Man City are starting to make an appearance.

The only people I can think of right now are Dan (Palalce) and Scott (Wall) both of who were nice people, so yeah, I agree.

I know a few spurs fans mainly because my brother supports them as does alot of his mates. All as deluded, arragant and full of shit as each other.
