    It's got to be a toss up between that and cottagers

    Haddicks is crap and I don’t even know what ‘Latics’ even is despite there being two teams with that shabby nickname.
    But, somehow, Hull fans have managed to make me perceive’Tigers’ as a crap name with their camp song and even camper actions that accompany it. And that, really, should be a decent and intimidating nickname but now it just makes me think of Lionel Blair’s kimono.

    I told my wife that Leicester were known as the Crisps. She still believes me to this day.

    I love English football club nicknames! At least they're original.
