The chant goes 'no one likes us but we don't care' and now stats prove it after Millwall fans were ranked the 'worst in London', while Charlton and Crystal Palace supporters have a better reputation.
A survey by YouGov asked Londoners for their views on fans of the capital’s 11 Premiership, Championship and League One teams.
Respondents were asked firstly whether they had encountered fans of the club before, and secondly whether they had a positive or negative impression of them.
Results were based on the difference between the percentage who had a positive impression and those who had a negative impression.
While Millwall fans were ranked bottom, with a rating of -38, Charlton and Crystal Palace fans were ranked joint 5th and 7th respectively, with scores of +10 and +8.
Here's the full list:
1. Fulham: +18
2. Arsenal: +15
3. Brentford: +14
4. QPR: +11
5. Leyton Orient: +10
=. Charlton: +10
7. Crystal Palace: +8
8. Tottenham: +3
9. West Ham: -5
10. Chelsea: -30
11. Millwall: -38
YouGov's Will Dahlgreen wrote: "In most cases the volume of opinion on the right side of the chart is mirrored in the percentage of Londoners who have encountered them, on the left side.
"Millwall is the exception, however: although only 12 per cent of Londoners have encountered their fans, 52 per cent have an impression of them, suggesting that their reputation precedes them."
