English Premier League 2007-08: Manchester United Fans are Most Optimistic

English Premier League 2007-08 is knocking at the door as the competition is set to start from August 11, 2007. English fans are now eagerly waiting to see their stars in the field. Now, ahead of the competition, an initiative of online survey on the supporters of all 92 teams of Premiership and Football League teams has been taken. Barclaycard appointed “Football Fans Census” to conduct the survey in order to find that the fans of which team are most optimistic regarding the success of their teams. The survey is still going on and the fans can give their opinion in that site. The survey will continue till the start of the season.

Manchester United fans are still in the top position as the most optimistic fans. However, Tottenham Hotspur fans claim the second position and Portsmouth fans are placed in the fifth position of the list. Second and third places are given to Chelsea and Liverpool fans respectively. Today while searching in the net, I got the list of the teams of Premiership and Football League in terms of the most optimistic fans.
