Supporting British teams in Europe

[archiewasking]

Which of the remaining British teams do you actually want to win their respective trophy??

Sorry you've lost me

 

[sausage]

Rangers, for me.

Not only because it'll cap off Slippy G's season, but because I think Scottish Football deserves a boost

 

[archiewasking]

Sorry you've lost me

Are you pro any of "our" British teams, do you wish them success or failure?

 

[al_pacino]

None of the above.

And West Ham after that.

 

[Tucker]

Certainly don’t want City or West Hame winning their respective cups. Couldn’t care less who wins the others.

 

[dirtyh]

where's the options for the 7 plagues of egypt, meteorites, etc?

Certainly don’t want City or West Ham winning their respective cups. Couldn’t care less who wins the others.

I'd add Liverpool to that list. I despise everything about that club, especially Klopp and the fans.

Don’t really care about them, much rather them than a fake club like City.

If it's a City-Liverpool final, I'd just about root for Liverpool over a fake club, but I'd prefer both of them to miss the final.

Whoever voted for City~ get a grip!
Together with Chelsea and any other plastic club, I don't want them to win anything.
They've destroyed the level playing field and sadly there's no way back now.

I realised last night just how fickle I am in relation to the op - I saw West Ham were 1-0 down, and wanted them to get an equaliser… then I switched off; checked my phone later to see them lose 1-2 and I was ‘yea!!’
Would be great to see Rangers progress to the final. Not bothered by Man City; but I’d like to see Liverpool get to the final …

 

[IfiHadTheWings]

The only time i have felt anything for any other British team in Europe was Liverpool in Istanbul, i started out wanting them to get hammered, then pissing myself laughing when they were 3-0 but by the end of it i half wanted them to turn it around, maybe it was the shock of it actually happening but other than that one time fuck them all...always!

 

[dontcallme]

I can't get behind any of our rivals being successful in Europe.

I don't mind Rangers so much but for years I heard the debates about how well Celtic and Rangers would do in the Prem that I find it hard to support them.

I remember my Norwich supporting mate saying I should support the English sides if Spurs aren't in it. I asked if he'd support Ipswich and he quickly realised that was nonsense.

 

[Yiddo100]

If it’s not Tottenham winning it, then I hope no English clubs win anything in Europe.
Same goes for every season

 

[whitechina]

In the late 70s/ early 80s I was glued to BBC RADIO 2 listening to any British team on a Wednesday night~ hoping they'd win.
Spurs or no one for me now

 

[aliyid]

Was happy to see plucky underdogs West Ham get through the group stage but a combination of thier fans getting headlines for fighting across Europe and unbearably smug ex-pros I couldn’t bare the thought of them going any further.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Rangers.

Although I don't really have anything against Leicester winning the Europa Conference. The trajectory of that club over the last decade has been fantastic, lets be honest. We only bear a grudge towards them because the one season we genuinely could have won the title, was the same year that they miraculously played like 80s AC Milan.

To be honest, if West Ham won the Europa... good on 'em, and another wake up call to our club, and how much we blew our chance a few years back.

Liverpool and Man Citeh, I honestly hope they crash and burn. Fuck them.

Back then you felt the partisanship of British clubs, because it genuinely felt international. There wasn't as much cross-pollination of nationalities across the European leagues.

Now, there's no real difference between any of the top clubs, so it all just feels the same. Hard to give a monkeys about any of it beyond footballing interest.

The thing I always remember was a panini sticker saying Tony Galvin was the only Russian speaking player in the league!
It's turned full circle and now English (or even British) are the minority. Multi national/ cultural is a great thing, sadly all clubs in Europe no longer represent where they are from (the club) but owners
