More than 50,000 posts were researched and analysed on Twitter, conducted over a two-week period to July 7th, using club-specific hashtags to determine which fanbase used the most colourful language.
A spokesman at Paddy Power said: “Now the Premier League is back, it’s been a good opportunity to take a seat on our socially-distanced sofas and become the ultimate armchair fan. And by doing that, it seems it’s been a sweary time for football fans, too.
“Top of the profanity Pops is relegation-threatened Watford, and it’s hardly a surprise that Jose Mourinho is causing Spurs fans to dish out expletives – we can only imagine what their blood pressure scores must look like.”
1. Watford
Watford fans have the highest profanity rate of all Premier League football fans (8.9% of their tweets contain a swear word).
2. Crystal Palace
Second to Watford were Crystal Palace fans (8.2%), with the Eagles seemingly unsettled with their mid-table mediocrity.
3. Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs fans were next up (7.1%) where Joses meddling has caused a feeling of resentment among the clubs followers.
4. Southampton
Saints supporters were in the fourth and final Champions League spot in the rankings for the most unique and colourful language used on Twitter with 6.9% of all tweets containing a swear word.
