Pathetic club nicknames

[Will]

Just been reading the proggy from our game at Sunderland, and noticed the consistent use of the nickname "the Lads" to describe the team - with barely a mention for the ever-so-slightly-less-pathetic "Black Cats"

 

Any other shocking team nicknames?

Is correct - the reason being the old ground had a huge gasometer overlooking it.

[The Hitman]

The Eagles-Crystal Palace.

[RBM]

The Eagles-Crystal Palace.

 

That's not their proper nickname though. They made that up in the early 80's. They are the even more s*** "The Glazers"

[Buzz]

The Posh

Probably the most ironic name for a club too, as anyone who went to the friendly this summer can testify.

[Benzo-13]

Chelsea aka The Pensioners is diabolical.
