Would you support Palace if they played a foreign club in the Champions League final?

[Frutos]

No, especially if they were playing Barca.

 

[Brovion]

Well I was born into a family of Palace fans so perhaps I could be forgiven if I have slightly divided loyalties. After all we're talking about a small, English club in with a chance of winning the biggest prize in club football ...















... but sod that. No no no no no no NO!

 

[NMH]

I'd be right out shopping for the scarf, flag, and shirt of the opposing team.

In an international war, I would accept that palace supporters are on the same side - but only just.

 

[Al Bion]

I would NEVER support Palarse under any circumstances

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

NO. In fact I had the same call to make yesterday when rooting for AC Milan.

 

[Gazwag]

In that FA Cup final for the first time and only time in my life I wanted Man Utd to win and was eventually satisfied when they did, so its the same situation really, a bit fat no

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Of couse.

Come on palace


Who are they playing?

 

[Albion Dan]

I wouldnt want Palace to win any game EVER, so the thought of European success actaully makes my stomach turn.

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

i would.

grow up.

 

[Skaville]

I wouldn't never support Palace, even against a team of eleven Scott McGleish clones.

 

[Braders]

NO. In fact I had the same call to make yesterday when rooting for AC Milan.

good man , and a big fat NO for me

89 of the other 91 clubs i would support in European quests if they ever got to them but not United or Palace ... simple

 

[Lush]

NO. In fact I had the same call to make yesterday when rooting for AC Milan.

Ditto. ABU for ever.

 

[paulie]

What a pointless poll.

I think we've guessed that Brighton don't like Palace by now.

And on balance we've as much chance of getting to the CL final as you have of ever getting in the Premier League, ie very slim.

And while I'm here, with us staying in our respective divisions this year, next year will the 23rd YEAR in a row that we've ended up above you.

So all this is envy - and before you wallow in self pity the 23 years also includes a period between 1985 and 1997.

You brainless twat. (Although I suppose that's a bit obvious).

It's got everything to do with how far your patriotism for English clubs goes. The question is just as valid the other way round.

It has f*** all to do with envy, because there is absolutely no way I (or anyone else who isn't a brainless twat) could ever admit - even if it were true - to having anything to do with a festering collection of low-foreheaded, knuckle-dragging neanderthal Cro-Magnon throwbacks.

Wake up, you brainless twat.

 

[Wozza]

I don't 'support' Man Utd, Chelsea, Spurs etc in Euro competitions, so why the f*** would I want Palace to win?!

i wouldnt rise to it.

It always amazes me how people would rather a foreign team would win a tournement over an english team.

 

[Napper]

more likely is pompey , and that along with Palace is a definate NO

 

[Wozza]

It always amazes me how people would rather a foreign team would win a tournement over an english team.

Er... because it's not a national competition?

It's not one club representing the country, it's several clubs representing themselves.

The majority of these so-called 'English' clubs aren't English-owned or managed. They're multi-national companies, with more fans abroad than here, which happen to have their base in the UK.

As a neutral football fan in 2007, I feel no more connected to Chelsea than, say, Barcelona.

So there's your answer.

Spot on. Claiming any of the foreign-owned, foreign-managed, foreign-staffed clubs are 'English' is like claiming Coca-Cola is 'Indian' just because that's where they've got a bottling plant.

(Ok, it's not quite the same thing, but you get the point)
