Marka Ragnos Posted July 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2022 I know the common nicknames (the Cherries, etc.), but I want to make sure I can really insult other clubs more accurately. Could you please help me understand some of the negative nicknames for Premier League clubs? These don't normally pop up in the media, and only on forums or in-person. I've heard Manure and West Spam, neither of which seems too impressive, but what are some of the others? AFC Bournemouth The Cherries Arsenal The Gunners Aston Villa The Villans, The Villa, Villa Brentford The Bees, The Reds Brighton & Hove Albion The Seagulls, The Albion Chelsea The Blues, The Pensioners Crystal Palace The Eagles, The Glaziers Everton The Blues, The Toffees, The People's Club Fulham Cottagers, Whites, Black and White army Leeds United The Whites, United, The Peacocks Leicester City The Foxes Liverpool The Reds Manchester City The Citizens, City, The Sky Blues Manchester United The Red Devils Newcastle United The Magpies, Geordies Nottingham Forest Forest Southampton The Saints West Ham United The Irons, The Hammers, The Academy Of Football Wolverhampton Wanderers Wolves, The Wanderers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Villa are "the vile" Or one you dont hear that often anymore is the seals which I think is a West brom thing because we clap at everything or some shit like that I'm also sure that Baggies was derisive at first and comes from their shorts but they liked it and kept it Everton I think are also referred to as bluenoses but whether it not that's derisive again I'm not sure Newcastle are the toon Spurs are the lilywhites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hear any of these except for reading them on British football forums or in the UK media, so it's hard for me to detect weird information. (Most Americans I know who follow Premier League don't use the nicknames very often.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard Manure and West Spam, neither of which seems too impressive, but what are some of the others? These are very much some nicknames among a certain type of online football discussion.. I think of you tried to use these in person in an actual conversation about football, the best you could hope for is mild confusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, it wasnt a reflection on you - more a critique of the idiot(s) that claim Everton are The People's Club and West Ham are the Academy of Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
