My hatred of man ure goes back to primary school in the early seventies when they were seen as the cool club to “support”. If you think that I don’t like them don’t ever raise them in conversation with my father as he hates them with a passion and has previously said this quite loudly when walking up Bolton Road after they had beaten us surrounded by hundreds of their fans!

Easiest club to hate. Their supporters think they have a divine right to do as they please and the club does too.

On a smaller scale I can’t stand wet spam. Another club with arrogant supporters, “we won the World Cup” indeed!

Plus they play in that horrible purple colour.

West Ham were arrogant when they went down instead of Bolton. With Joe Cole, SinclaIR, James. In fairness they did go down with 42 points. That would normally be more than enough. I have some kind of a problem with most PL teams. Through all eras. Whether it is Players, Manager or fans. My fave big Club if you like would be Chelsea.

That massive fiddle with West ham "buying" Tevez and Mascherano was a disgrace.
The authorities dithered and dallied and poor Sheff Utd ended up the fall guys.
Although I bet they're laughing now!

The authorities caved in more like. Twisted all the rules to avoid relegating one of the Capital's favourites. Just about every instance of playing unreg players in my recollection is a deduction of points! Not only that but they've been virtually given an expensive modern stadium paid for by the UK taxpayer.

Youre not old enough to remember Chelsea visiting the BBE!

Even more reasons not to like them.

So here we go then, anymore clubs that people can’t stand and your reasons for doing so?

Apart from the scruffy inbreds of course as they have their own thread!

Chelsea were never counted as a big club until the Tottenham board turned down Abromovic's overtures and he turned his attention to Ken Bates' Chelsea and bought them instead. Until then they were just a moderately successful London club like WHU. My biggest issue with Chelsea supporters is that now they behave like Chelsea have always been massive and important. Personally I can't wait for the Russian to tire of his trinket and drop them although no doubt they are established enough for some other Johnny Foreigner with pots of ill gotten gains to come a calling.

Not sure how the "Rest Peacefully" thread became the "which club do you hate" thread.
Norman Hunter still causing aggro even after he's passed on!

I remember them in the 2nd tier and the Bridge nowhere near as impressive at it is now. They have built up. Never had anyone who gets on my wick. They will always be there or thereabouts now. Kerry Dixon was my fave. He was a proper scorer. Always admired that Club.

Drog, re melanoma, it's not the consistent exposure to sunlight that can cause it.
Just one day, sitting out, having a beer, walking down the road on a sunny day, playing sport, can be enough.
I get checked twice a year, if my skin cancer specialists finds, what he identifies as a basal cell carcinoma, he excises it (ie cuts it out and sends it to pathology).
His latest bit of kit actually looks through the levels of the skin to see if there are any cells which identify as carcinogenic.
he has identified maybe four or five, and cut them all out and they've all come back positive carcinomas. He also tells me that I should consider myself lucky as I didn't get to Aus until my early 20s, meaning I didn't bake myself as a teenager.
It's when you see people with parts of their face missing, no ears or the like that you realise what an terrible thing that it is.
When outside, particularly on sunny days, "slip, slop, slap" Slip on a shirt,(UV protective shirts), slap on some sunscreen, (SPF50 at least), and slap on a hat, Broad brimmed so it covers the face. Don't forget long sleeves when playing golf.

and two golf gloves perhaps? I must say 18 holes in long sleeves with temperatures in the 80's and above would be my idea of hell.

Imagine when we were kids in a hot summer, running around shirtless in a pair of shorts! No sun cream then, crazy.

Bit of a difference between the sun here and the sun in Oz where they have a depleted ozone layer ODB. If anyone doubts the power of the sun then check out the condition and longevity of softwood windows on the north side of a house with those on the other side.

Interesting documentary on Admiral , watched it on catchup a couple of weeks ago . Small English underwear company that were first to get into the replica shirt business . Unfortunately , for one reason and another , Puma , Adidas , Umbro and others blasted them out of the water and they eventually went bust , but at the time they were trailblazers.
