Yikes. You should look for a new club to follow
Because I'm open minded enough to enjoy watching a certain style of play regardless of who is playing it?
You're all going by what I should do, because that's what everyone else does, rather than actually reading my reasoning.

Hated:
Liverpool (duh)
Man City (also duh)
Arsenal (Arsene vs. Fergie)
Leeds (Lancashire and Yorkshire counties HATE each other)
Friendly:
Everton (Enemy of my enemy thing)
Spurs (ditto)
Any of those non-contender teams that screw things up for those trying to catch us during the season (Fulham and Newcastle stick out to me)
Neutral:
Everyone else, but Chelsea is getting to be hated

I wasn't watching then, and to me it is. There's no sportsmanship involved in misleading a ref to give your team an advantage.
History is the world's greatest teacher. Pool can hate us for beating them in extra time at Anfield to deny them of number 19, but they don't.
They save their hatred for the Scum and Everton.

I understand a lot of you guys watch a lot of soccer. But, I'd find it hard to believe that some of you absolutely hate a team since most haven't grown up around it. The majority of the soccer fans in the US are new fans anyways.
I grew up around Alabama v Auburn. There is a lot of hate/banter back and forth, obviously. But, even after a few seasons of LSU v Bama hard fought BATTLES. I don't even find this "new rivalry" hated.
Might just be me though.

Remember? Carroll? And 3 negatives + a shitload of neutrals = a net negative.

Ok ok, UASports, you can do your list as "Disliked/Friendly/Neutral" 
But yeah, I think the people in the thread need to realize that I hate to have my opinions dictated to me, and all of my opinions have been formed from the specific games I have watched.. and considering I've only been watching soccer intently for about 2 years now.

I seriously hate Liverpool and Man City, because I've watched them battle with United for almost a decade.
No, I don't go brawl with 'Pool boys daily (although I had a dude on campus cuss me because I was wearing my United jersey...stupid Gooner), but I feel like a part of the rivalry because of my support of United.
But it's NOWHERE NEAR my hatred for UA.

I was including Gerrard as you mentioned him.
Also I disliked Bellamy at first because I thought he was a dick.. but now I just think he's very passionate and doesn't care what people think about him?

Some fans are more passionate and emotional than others. Have you ever watched a Liverpool rivalry match against United or Everton? The game is the most heated, physical game of the season. And as a fan, I find it hard not to get wrapped up in that.

So you really dislike Suarez, Carroll and Gerrard. Still doesn't equal " a lot" especially since its less than 30% of the starting lineup.
ETA And you've been watching soccer for 2 years and have somehow managed to hate Steven Gerrard and Andy Carroll? Lolwut

As far as alliances go I feel there is a Liverpool - Arsenal one.

Everyone hates us, so I hate everyone. Except my FIFA guys.

What do you expect? You support Chelsea.
Posted on 7/31/12 at 8:50 pm to LSUSOBEAST1
I can agree with Beast's list, but add Chelsea into hated...
Posted on 7/31/12 at 8:50 pm to glassman
Can't wait for Finn's this season
