Arsenal apparently have more fans in Chelsea’s and Tottenham’s backyards than, well, Chelsea or Tottenham do.

That’s after Twitter released an interactive map revealing the levels of support for each Premier League club across the globe based on their followers, with some of the most surprising results coming in London.

In Chelsea and Fulham, Arsenal come out on top with 18.84% of the Twitter support, while the Blues have to make do with just 13.04%.

And the Gunners are top dogs in Tottenham as well, claiming 18.92% of the support compared to Spurs’ 10.81%.


In fact, Arsene Wenger’s side – who have been given the colour code of yellow in this map – seem to have London pretty much sewn up, as well as Northern Scotland apparently.

Other trends show that Liverpool – represented by the colour green here, obviously – are the most popular Premier League club on Twitter in the UK, while apparently only one area of Manchester prefers City to United.



Going further afield, Arsenal unsurprisingly have the lion’s share of online support in France, while Chelsea are on top in Russia.

John Arne Riise’s time at Liverpool appears to have secured the Reds’ place in Scandinavian hearts, while for some reason most tweeters in Spain like Chelsea.
