Well considering every Man Utd fan(659m of them) and every Madrid fan(probably 500m+ of them) hate Barca, I dunno. It's quite a lot.

Who outside of EPL even hates Man Utd? I don't care for them really. Januzaj is a beast but that's it. And I like Liverpool.

People dont "hate" teams in the wider world, generally speaking. But the people that do hate, generally focus their attention at PL teams.

Barça has shiiiiit loads of admirers around the world, too. I stand by my point, that Barça isn't really a widely hated team.

morsel, of course since you follow a premier league team you are more likely to notice the hate against them. Do you think people who don't support a PL team give a flying fuck about United of Liverpool?

no one paid attention to barca even with ronaldinho in the team. only after winning CL vs Arsenal then beating Madrid 6-2, and winning the sixtuple is when people started to notice barca. Soon after the became bandwagon fans. In laymen's terms, barca plastics

PL is the most watched league in the world. Do you think people who don't want La Liga give a shit about Barça? It works both ways, except that the PL has more followers overall.

And your point is... What? Most followers of most clubs have only a passing interest in them and began paying attention because they win a lot. That doesn't diminish the number of them overall.

I disagree.

Dutch league fans, Liverpool and Celtic fans are the only groups of fans I've seen where the majority don't hate Barca. With all the diving, all the ref calls, "real" football and all the success/dominance it is only logical.

Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd, Real Madrid, La Liga teams, Portuguese teams, Milan, Inter, Ronaldo fanboys etc all the fans from these teams have massive reasons to hate Barca.

Where as outside of the English clubs, there's little if any reason why a Madrid, Milan or Barca fan for example would hate ManUtd right now.

The last two years it's became harder to support Barça without people calling you bandwagoner or just lots of hate. Except for two or so Barça fans everybody at that Dutch forum I visit hates Barça and fully supports Bayern. Go figure, a thread full of Dutchies rooting for Germans :lol

And in this thread most fans of other teams were also against Barça. Everyone who doesn't support us wants the European reign to end and is done with tiki-taka. I don't really care for what other people say about teams I support quite frankly but Barça sure gets lots of hate. And even maybe bandwagoners will look for a new club now we've been destroyed by Bayern.

I just woke up and still cannot believe it. Hopefully that boring tick tick football is coming to an end. There is absolutely nothing beautiful about it.

Would have love to see Bayern score more, should have been at least 8:0

Hmm I dont know. Most Villa fans I talk with only really hate Birmingham City. All other teams are generally regarded as just "not villa" and therefore irrelevant or disliked.

It is very common for Villa fans to cheer on any foreign opponents of EPL teams in the Champions League. Not sure whether this is a brummie , English or a world wide football fan thing though.

That was probably a freekick. But seeing it not being given to Alba of all players, so good. Yeah it's a contact sport, go cry on the ground you little bitch.

It sure is. I have a friend who's as smart as a peanut, but he goes around saying LG sucks because they don't have a phone with a good screen, saying Sony sucks because the Xperia Z scratches. He loves Samsung and even says "iPhone is for the general public without technological knowledge".

Hahaha something about this is amazing. I walked into the "Samsung outed for paying Internet community members for PR" discussion and immediately there were fanboys starting a flame war about which phone is better. Fuckin ridiculous :lol
