Aston Villa fight off stiff competition to top the Premier League table for the most annoying fans

Every football team has annoying fans. Whether it is those that hark back to the golden days that never were, the ones who leave 15 minutes before the end or the supporters who sing the songs but don't actually know the words. 

However, some clubs' fans take it to the next level - Premier League level if you like. Paul Okey, who has had many a day ruined by an incorrectly placed apostrophe, compiles his list of most annoying fans, kicking off with only the mildly annoying.

Almost as if they don't want to be successful. Revel in being Spursy. I did have them higher but they lost out against Norwich. Their fans expected it, of course.

Hasn't come out much this season.

I'm not taking any pleasure in their relegation from League Two. Oh no.

Should have been delighted to attract a coach the calibre of Rafa Benitez. Instead, they whined and whined about the Liverpool connection until he departed. Already calling for Frank Lampard's dismissal, there won't be too many fans of other clubs mourning their demise should they drop out of the real Premier League come May.

A lot of fans would probably have them higher given their non-Manchester-based glory supporters but I can't help having a smidgeon of sympathy for the Red Devils fans. They signed the second-best player in the world in the summer, picked up Raphael Varane, splashed out more than £73million on Jadon Sancho and still managed to get worse. You're seventh United fans, get used to it.

It's eight years since THAT momentous moment when John Terry appeared in a full Chelsea kit, ​including boots, shin pads and sock tape, to collect the Champions League
