Betting site freebets.com asked 2,000 male Premier League fans what their waists measured to come up with findings.

Spokesman Tim Agnew said: “We know that football fans come in all shapes and sizes and our research really backs that up. It is pretty clear who ate all the pies – it is Newcastle fans.”

He added: “But what really surprised us is just how slim the south coast supporters are with Bournemouth and especially Brighton fans being super slimline.”
