The Prawn Awards – named in honour of Roy Keane's infamous rant about Old Trafford's corporate "prawn sandwich brigade" – reveal what British football fans really think about each other's supporters.

Big heads: Tottenham's egotists wave their flags at the Lane
And fans at the Reebok Stadium have emerged in Loaded's survey as rotters - not Trotters - when it comes to cheering on their side at home. To be fair to the Wanderers support, they have valid reasons for being so glum - Gary Megson as boss and selling Nicolas Anelka to Chelsea would upset most fans of a mediocre Barclays Premier League side.
Fans from White Hart Lane, despite their side failing to collect any silverware since winning the lowly regarded League Cup in 1999 - they're in the final this year, though - continue to act as if their team deserves to be on a par with the Big Four, according to the survey's findings.
By contrast, Wolves fans have scooped the Biggest Whingers award, having moaning down to an art form.

United they stand: Manchester United's fans in full voice
Meanwhile teams playing against Everton have every reason to moan – at the fans dreary singing! Everton fans have taken the title for Worst Songs with one voter saying: "They only have one song: Everton, Everton, Everton repeat ad infinitum."
Andrew Woods, Loaded deputy editor, said: "We're fed up with watching silent 'big matches' in full stadiums, where the tinkling of bone china in hospitality is only drowned out by the piggy laughs of the suits. When I was growing up you could only see live games on the TV four or five times a year, so going to a live match was the whole point. Now it's on every night of the week and we find ourselves saturated with half-hearted football and the real fans have moved from the club to the couch."
Full list of The Prawn Awards
Worst Home Fans – Bolton Wanderers
Worst Away Fans – Fulham
Worst Songs – Everton
Most Corporate Fans – Arsenal
Biggest Away-day Disappointment – Manchester United
Biggest Egos – Tottenham Hotspur
Biggest Whingers – Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Let us know what you think about the Prawn Awards. Are Spurs fans big-heads? Don't little old Leeds deserve a mention, attracting 30,000 gates in the third tier? Which ground is the most intimidating to visit - does anything match up to Galatasaray's Ali Sami Yen Stadium?
