The 'hopefuls' not the favoured lot

Bolton, Blackburn and Spurs - or the 'hopefuls' as they were put - are the teams least favoured! Not my vote, yours - although these findings from Et_tu_Pompeii's poll are thoughts I might have shared, but did not as I did not vote that way. Either way I find it difficult to write about.

As I said when the poll was added, right away I again say - before anyone moans - this was simply a poll, nothing more nothing less, it meant nothing, it will not change the way of the world, it is just a question that someone wanted to know the answer to.

It is extremely difficult for me to write anything about this without angering people - and I how quickly and easily some can be angered on Vital Football.

Yep, I do dislike some teams, with some disliked more than others. The big 4 are disliked by myself in many ways, not because of the way they play as I generally enjoy watching them play, this dislike is not so much to do with them, more to do with the fact so many view them as 'the only teams in the Premiership', when there are actually 16 others.

Basically I will leave things there, if people wish to put forward their own personal feelings and opinions on what the poll found, by all means do, but I for one am not going to start a mass war of words by naming teams by name in this article - do you really think that I am stupid enough to do that!

What the poll asked - Which bunch of teams in the Premiership do you hate most?

How you voted - Hopefuls - Bolton, Blackburn & Spurs 32%, No-hopers - Fulham, Boro & Wigan 23%, Big 4 - Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea & Liverpool 20%, Underachievers - Villa, Everton & Newcastle 13%, Non-entities - West Ham, Reading & Man City 7%, New boys - Derby, Sunderland & Birmingham 5%

Current Poll - The biggest challenge of the 2007/08 season so far comes on Saturday when we go to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea - do not forget if you have not already made your predictions in the Pompey predictions league on this match do it here.

We always lose in the Premiership against Chelsea and do not even score, well not until Benjani's goal last season.

Chelsea are untouchable at Stamford Bridge, so anything other than a point maximum would seem unlikely, but call me crazy I have a feeling we could go there and win! Am I alone, will we lose as usual, that is what I want to know - 'what will we do at Chelsea on Saturday?' Let the poll do the talking before we do when it finishes.
