Of current EPL sides:
Legends: Tottenham Hotspur
Not wankers apart from when we play them: Fulham, Brighton, Palace, Southampton
Too pointless and far away to really be considered wankers: WBA, Sheffield United
Generally bearable wankers as long as they remain below us: Leicester, Everton, Newcastle, Wolves, Aston Villa, Leeds
Used to be alright, now wankers: Manchester United, Manchester City
Wankers: Burnley
Chav wankers: Chelsea, West Ham
High-pitched wankers: Liverpool
Utter, utter wankers: Arsenal

I’ve found myself liking less and less clubs over time, and it’s definitely proportional to how well we are doing.
Back when we were shit and mid table most of the time I didn’t mind Utd so much as they were preventing Arsenal and Chelsea from winning titles and played the game the right way.
Don’t like City and what they stand for, but I’d rather them succeed than Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool.
The better you get the more rivalries you obviously have and the more reason to dislike clubs for various reasons. Even Wolves who I’ve always had a soft spot for due to the fact I went to University there are less likeable to me now.
Fulham remain the PL club I’d most like to do well. Have had a lot of ex Spurs over the years, always play good football and their stadium is proper old school and in a lovely part of London.

Norwich for me. Mrs is a season ticket holder there and always had a soft spot for. Well run club, try to play football the right way, loyal fans who pack out the ground. Even when they were in league 1 a few seasons back, still getting crowds of 25k. Hate the usuals, spam, chavs, goons.

Everton - they were the first team I saw us play at the Lane and I have never got on with Liverpool fans.
Wolves - Led Zeppelin, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, they had a kit back in the 90s that I thought looked great and they have a wolf for a badge.
Fulham - They're adorable. They're like the posh kid who turned out to not be a twat, probably smoked and Craven Cottage is brill.
Blackburn - Fans are on the whole pretty decent folk.
Honourable mention to Southampton for keeping the folk of Portsmouth from invading further inland than they have.

Soft spot for Everton and Villa as I see them as most similar to us in that their fans are ‘proper’ fans and they have good history but since the PL started have pretty much won nothing for 30years, Leeds as well but they obviously got relegated too and their fans can be a nasty bunch but respect them as a club.
Quite like Wolves just a very neutral team and Nuno seems like a good guy, Southampton as well are a nice club and Fulham too but they need to make their mind up if their a Premiership team or not.
European clubs: Ajax because of the Spurs connection and the way they play football and their history with Cruyff etc just a class club, and also Athletico Madrid as similar to us in trying to overthrow the big money power teams on a modest budget.

In person, most football fans that I know are by and large decent folk. The West Ham ones are the only group that are arseholes in person as well as online. Quite a few of the UTD fans I've known IRL do carry that sense of entitlement, the few Liverpool fans I've known too have the same affliction.
The Arsenal fans have rarely bothered me, it's never been spiteful and now the ones I know are so down on themselves I can't find it in myself to dislke them. Chelsea fans are different because I've generally found that they are a spiteful lot that also love a good bit of racy (racist) banter.
City fans annoy me more because they seem unable to accept that they are where they are because of the huge financial advantage they have. It's that they believe that all of these great players bought into a project when they really went there to earn five times as much as the could elsewhere, that really gets to me.

Millwall I’ve already said, but other clubs I quite like;
Sunderland, I went up there to watch us beaten 1-0 and was travelling back to a mates house on the bus with a bunch of their fans. Proper down to earth, didn’t laud it over me after winning, they were just very friendly and admired the way we were run as a club. A lot remembered us from both Bill Nic and Burkinshaw days and had nothing but good things to say about us. I’d like to think they’ll have a resurgence and get back to the big time.
Fulham. They’re a club with great history and a non repulsive fan base. They are trying to do things the right way.
Charlton. Boy they’ve had it tough of late and deserve better.
The O’s. Harry sponsors them, ‘nuff said.
Finally, this one will have some of you spitting feathers, but West Ham! I did kinda like them back in the day when they had the likes of Brooking and Devonshire. They played some lovely Football at the time. Nowadays I like them because they’re such a banter club, if it can go wrong for them it will go wrong for them, and they provide hours of mirth. It’s kind of endearing lol.
