    Premier League clubs and players have received more than 130,000 abusive posts on social media this season, according to a study by anti-discrimination group Kick It Out.

    The research found Chelsea were the most targeted club, while Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli suffered more abuse than any other player.

    Kick It Out now wants to form an expert group to tackle internet trolls.

    How bad is it?
    According to Kick It Out's study, there have been an estimated 134,400 discriminatory posts this season related to the Premier League alone.

    That equates to:

    • 16,800 discriminatory posts a month
    • 551 of them per day
    • 1 abusive mention every 2.6 minutes

    "The level of abuse is truly staggering," director Roisin Wood said.

    "We must do all we can as a collective to protect those who are on the receiving end of discriminatory abuse."

    The group says it is exploring forming a group made up of representatives from football, social media platforms and police to address the level of football-related racist, sexist and homophobic abuse.

    Basically we're at the top at the moment and this country hates successful teams. Man Utd aren't the top team at the moment. Go back before Roman' s arrival and we were a lot of people's second favourite team. We weren't really winning a lot then though.
