From Roman Abramovich pumping billions into the club since his takeover in 2003, sections of support being accused of racism, players and managers like Diego Costa and Jose Mourinho who play the part of pantomime villain, as well as good old-fashioned jealousy of their success, Chelsea topped the poll with 68.1% of the vote.
The results were largely made up of the ‘Big Six’ teams, with one exception – West Ham made the top five at the expense of Manchester City.
Liverpool finished third with 52.8% of the vote, while West Ham (47.6%), Arsenal (46.2%) and Tottenham (43.5%) made up the top six. City were seventh with 38.7%.
