[Football] Stereotypes of various clubs' fans

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Listening to Talksport this morning (often something I come to regret) they were talking about Stoke fans: "they don't mind if they get beat 7 nil, as long as the players put in shift" (something like that anyway).

What are the other stereotypes? Are they more than something for lazy journos to hang clichés on?

I'll go for West Ham - east-end hard-men but they demand good football: the West Ham way.
