There are some European teams that i would prefer to see win the CL than another English team - Dortmund, Ajax , Ac Milan etc.

I agree with that, but PSG are the the model of what I hate, win a micky mouse league but nothing else. And are somehow one of the "best in the world". Real Madrid for obvious financial/political reasons. Chuck in a likeable team or a true underdog, I'll prefer them.

Ok, let me ask you this, as you are one of the more sensible 'ammers.

If your team is given so much stick by Everton, Man U, Chelsea, City (for the vast majority of their fans), plus others with a beef, why should I support them teams?

The other reason is a selfish one - I want my club to be the best.

Edit: I would expect 80-90% of Chelsea, Spurs and Gooners fans to not want West Ham to do well in Europe and in the main prefer a northern team to win it, if they must, although for some man u and Liverpool are still the bigger hatred.

Don't insinuate I'm supporting Chelsea. I Just think they are mildly less annoying than PSG or Madrid. Us and City get on well, I'd be happy if they won. Large chunk of their fans are very similar to us, watched crap for years, always good to us when we go up there. It's not which team I like, it's which fans do I dislike least from away days and experiences. I only hate Millwall, I want them to fall off the face of the earth. Chelsea are a joke, the club is completely different to the one I hated back in the day.

Maybe it's because we've been crap for so long, the majority of fans around the country are decent to us, and us in return. We even got on well with your lot in Cardiff in 06.
 
Im a Villa STH - home and away 38 games a year (pre-covid)

I have no horse in the European competitions and therefore just like to see English clubs do well. I dont sit cheering them on, but I'd much rather our league held the champions of europe than Spain or Germany.

I like seeing all english finals too - speaks to the strength of our league - but I really dont give two hoots who wins, so long as its a good game!

If it was ever B'ham (LOL NEVER), Baggies or Wolves - Id be cheering on the other team, but besides those I really dont care. I can understand top 6/8 fans not sharing the same view but the situation is totally different.

Least - Real are just horrible, I don't want them any where near the final
3rd Chelsea, no thanks. I can still see John Terry there :eek:
2nd PSG, take out Neymar and they don't offend me at all. Good to see an alternative to the regulars
1st, City. Quite happy for City to win. Growing up in the NW I know the pain the fans have gone through. They still have their sense of doom and expectation it will end tomorrow, it is endearing :LOL:. They also play fabulous football and the improvements the owners have done in the area can only be admired.

Nailed it. Last night I was "watching" the BBC text updates and we were 1-0 down. David then said "you've scored" and from then on I couldn't check again and he had to as clearly that was the lucky way to check the score :giggle:

I deliberately never followed the game. I couldn’t live through another “ typical” City moment. After all the trophies we have had over the last decade. My nerves won’t take it. After 81 mins of the game, my lad got outta bed came downstairs and shoved his phone under my nose. “ Look City’s winning2-1 and there down to 10 men”. I could of smashed him. In that nine minutes it felt like I had missed 2 birthday and anniversary and Christmas. for the second leg am going in a coma for 90 minutes.

I was so pleased I don't have BT Sport as it would be too much to take!

Is it just me seeing a business opportunity for nervous city fans here :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

he says ahead of Arsenals game later :censored::censored::censored:
 
square pegs in round holes doesnt work, whod have thought it lol

everything bad in our season summed up in a European semi final first half :( 2 non full backs at full back, insisting on playing out from the back when not capable, cant defend a set piece, no leaders, no passion and for some reason thought this would be a great time to try playing without a centre forward
 
no shots two crap goals given away, no recognised striker , penalty overturned and they look like they can score with every attack. Rob Holding....not good enough,Partey simply cannot shoot. if we concede another this tie is over. sort it out Arteta

Steady on, were I have said ALL Man Utd fans shouldn’t hate Lpool or vice versa? Granted you have a rivalry as the biggest 2 Clubs, but it’s you who mentioned City, Villa, Forest, West Ham etc, you don’t have anywhere near the history with those Clubs so why have the same attitude towards them?

Also confused over this word hate! To quote LP “Let’s be honest - “universally hated”? Seriously - it’s a football team at the end of the day and millions support it just like millions don’t . If someone wants to “hate” a football club that for me shows more about their own mentality than anything else and a lot of times it comes from people who try and think up these rivalries.”

I think its you who needs to have a word with yourself.

You say hate in football is a terrible thing, but you're happy to see Liverpool fold as a club? Seriously? Local fans with no club to support, jobs lost, the city harmed, tourism down.

No matter how much I hate other clubs, I wouldnt want to see them fold.

Actually make it a strong word.

Do most non Chelsea/City fans want one of them to win the Champions League just because they're English?
If so, why?
Never have done and probably never will.

Because they are English. In the old days I would support Scottish Clubs as well when they were getting to finals. Doesn’t mean buying a scarf, but would definitely want them to win.

Neither Chelsea or Man City are local rivals to my team. Now if Oxford, Swindon or Aldershot look like winning a European Cup I would definitely not support them ! ?

Overall Chelsea are less annoying than PSG and Madrid (on the telly), but my god they were 10 years ago. 2005-2012 they were horrible and Mourinho's lack of humility went right through the club.

City fans still like to play the "little city" card, but once they've won a European cup and they are well into their 2nd decade of success that will change. Liverpool / United / Chelsea and to a lesser extent Arsenal fans all got to a point were they were insufferable, expected success and were arrogant after sustained periods of success, no-one will be any different.

The people who I get on with most on the forum who I've met quite a few times over the last 10 years are Chelsea, Man U and Everton fans and long may it continue.

Yep, I was there in 06 also, 5 yards away from the segregation line in the main stand, and yes, us and the ammers got on very well. I was also at Upton park many years ago on the night Ince got a hat trick for you and it was "lively" that night.

So ignore the points in the post and play the poster! Not the first time recently either.

Let’s get one thing clear though, I don’t hate you lot, it seems the only people talking about hate is Lpool fans, like I said, I’ve got family and friends who love the Club and I rather they were happy over some foreign Club supporter.

As for the going out of business, I wouldn’t lose much sleep over it if it happened, I doubt it ever will, so I’ll keep it as a dream.

United making this more difficult than they should.


EDIT : Having said that, they've just got their 5th!

Pretty sure you wanted to watch the Arsenal game if you wanted to see making it difficult!!!!

Somehow were still alive, fortunate penalty then Capoue kindly evening the sides up

Just whether we lose to Emery at Arsenal or Utd in the final now ;) at least we still have a chance, didnt look likely with half hour to go. Its the hope that kills......................
 
Good 2nd half for Utd, can’t see them blowing it in the return leg.

Didn’t see any of the Arsenal game, but hopefully getting that goal back will make the difference.
