Liverpool is one of the most accomplished football clubs in the entire world. They’re also one of the most brands globally in all of sports. “You’ll Never Walk Alone” isn’t just a song of solidarity and fandom to these supporters, it’s a religious hymn.

Among Barclay’s Premier League sides, Liverpool rank third in the pecking order. At least according to one pool of fan opinion data.
The Daily Mirror did a survey and they published their findings today. Behold the “Table of most hated clubs.”
