Bolton finish third in the Premier League

Only Chelsea and Manchester United are better than Bolton Wanderers

No, your eyes do not deceive you. Only Manchester United and Chelsea are better than Bolton Wanderers… when it comes to being hated.

It’s official… well, it was in the Daily Mirror anyway. The Wanderers actually finished seventh in the poll, but four of the teams above them – Burnley, Millall, Wolves and England’s most hated club Leeds United – are not in the Premier League, and therefore may as well not exist.

Big Sam Allardyce made Bolton in to a top seven Premier League side by transforming the club from ‘plucky Bolton’ in to ‘big, horrible, nasty, will probably spit in your face (thanks Dioufy) and shag your wife Bolton’. And it’s great to see that that legacy has not been squandered, even if the real world Premier League position has slipped a little.

In the same poll Bury were voted the tenth most-liked club. I know where I’d rather be.
