The EPL is closely followed by Malawian fans, who mainly support and put high stake bets on Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City.
Most pubs and clubs are always full for games involving these teams where raucous rivalry are order of the day. When Arsenal is playing against any other team, fans for Man United or Liverpool or Chelsea would throw taunts and teases as the games progresses.
If Arsenal would go on and lose or draw, the taunts are even worse — to some points leading to unnecessary furious debates and near fights. Many people have condemned such behaviours and it is slowly diminishing.
