Liverpool aren't still despised for being top dog in the 80s, after all, so if you change your manager, your team and have ten years of being rubbish, the hatred might subside into a mere slight dislike. Start now, is my advice, there's no time like the present.
Five years is nothing in terms of it still being fresh in the memory of bitter football fans such as yourself. And having lived in the east end for more than a year, I can say that arsenal are hated with a passion. Why.....because of their success, and the fact that arsenal fans enjoy to ram it down the throats of rival supporters.
