8. Newcastle United, 39% hated
It’s scary that a team with a defense as bad as Newcastle avoids relegation year after year – and yet they beat up just enough foes to watch other clubs wave goodbye.
7. Stoke City, 41% hated
Considering how long it’s been since an English team won the Champions League, it probably bothers people that the addition of Xherdan Shaqiri gives the team the most Champions League players in the EPL.
6. Arsenal, 41% hated
That number probably rose a lot after the Gunners’ devastating loss to West Ham United. Few teams frustrate fans and foes alike with their close-but-not-close enough tendencies.
5. Tottenham Hotspur, 46% hated
Once an average EPL club, a string of UEFA Cup victories from 2007 to 2009 gave rise to a new Premier League juggernaut – with some of the most frustrating scoring threats in England gracing their ranks.
