Hate Watch / Rival alerts / Premier League

Premier League rival alerts

The Premier League gives you 38 matches of people disliking each other's clubs, and the worst moments come in a second: the own goal, the penalty saved, the goal VAR takes away. Hate Watch tells you the minute it happens, for the clubs and players you track.

What you get alerts for

Soccer alerts are about players, and about the club when something happens to the team as a whole. You can get an alert when your target:

• Scores an own goal, or misses a penalty, or gives away a penalty;
• Has a goal ruled out by VAR;
• Gets booked, or is sent off, with a separate alert when the club is down to ten;
• Hits the woodwork, loses the ball, gives the ball away, or commits a foul;
• Is taken off early, before the 46th minute and not for an injury;
• As a goalkeeper, concedes a goal.

Club alerts add three more: concedes a late goal (from the 85th minute, a go-ahead or an equalizer), loses by three goals or more, and drops into the relegation zone.

Which ones buzz your phone

Push notifications by default include penalties, VAR, own goals, yellow and red cards, a keeper conceding, an early substitution, a late goal, a heavy loss and the relegation zone. Hitting the woodwork and fouls go to the feed without a buzz, and losing the ball or giving it away are off. Change any of them in Settings, for the whole league or for one player.

When the match ends

When a club you track loses, you get the loss alert with lines for how: a stoppage-time winner, a lead of two goals blown, a loss as the favorite, or a loss to a club with a much worse record. A club that drops in the table or into the relegation zone gets its own alert.

Picking a target

Manchester United and Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham, Liverpool and Everton: the derbies are what the league is known for, and the bottom three can matter as much as the top. Tracking a single striker or a keeper is a good way to hear about their misses without every other club's. Search for a club or a player and tap Track.
