Football Fans Survey 2011, brought to you by ZOO and FootballFanCast.com
Football FanCast has teamed up with Zoo Magazine to bring you the Football Fans’ Survey 2011.
The survey asked all the burning questions in football right now and you may be surprised by some of the results given by you – fans of the beautiful game. We asked a range of questions to get a feel for your views of where football is at right now.
The results are featured below for you to take a look at, with some of the standout answers being that more than half of you want Harry Redknapp to be the next England manager, a whopping 82% of you would prefer your club to win their league than England to win 2012, and that you feel that Liverpool have the best supporters in Britain.
There were of course the more light-hearted questions as well, with Ryan Giggs your favourite drinking buddy and El Hadji Diouf your least favourite, three quarters of you are more disappointed by players cheating on the pitch than on their partners, while if it came down to a choice between sex and football, you’d go for the beautiful game, just!
