Do You Support English Teams In Europe?

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Yea this is about it, plus i love asking Arsenal fans how many times theyve been european Champions, none, dont want that to change given how they like to brag how theyve never been relegated.

Well strictly speaking they have been relegated, in 1913 and replaced Spurs in 1919 albeit finishing fifth in div2, but yes they have had the longest stint. And they were also the first franchise club moving areas as well.

In fact there is only one club never relegated from the top flight.

Support English teams in Europe ? Well not just because they're "English" no I don't. I don't subscribe to the theory that because they're English and I'm English I have to support them. I'm allowed to support whoever I want and dislike whoever I want too and I wouldn't support a team I disliked just because they were playing a foreign team.
Would anyone on here support Palace if they were in Europe - I doubt very much whether they would - equally I wouldn't expect any Palace fan to support us if we were in Europe
I support Spurs in Europe because I like Spurs, I dislike Arsenal /Chelsea/Man Utd so support who they are playing against

Wigan

Yep beaten to it by GR!

Yep beaten to it by GR!

How about Everton then?

Nope but they do have the second longest stay in the top flight. Everton had a stint in Div 2 in the early 50s.

Everton

Everton have definitely been relegated. two occasions I think.

I wish all clubs playing in European competitions every success as long as Manure are not involved!

I simply cannot wish them anything but defeat, no matter who they play!

Is that irrational? If so, oh well.

This.

One of the most rational posts I have ever read.

Yep thats right.

Yes, I support all English teams in European competitions, because in my opinion, it's the right thing to do.

This...however the good thing is when they go out I have pleasure in taking this piss out of the plastics when their teams have spunked millions and lost to some team of brickies from Hungary

The last time I really wanted an English team to do well in Europe was Fulham - it just gave me hope that one day we could do something similar before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

I enjoy a bit of Schadenfreude when Man Utd or Chelsea get beaten.

Complicated, definitely don't want Man U or Chelsea to win although in 1999, after that epic SF with Juventus I did actually want Man U to win it. I'd grudgingly support them over Madrid too.

Other teams I might muster a bit of interest in and hope they do well.

No I don't support the English teams in Europe, as I have said before I have family ties with Chelsea from back in the 70's, so I always want them to do well. But all the others I have no time for at all. I always watch the ECL final regardless of who is playing, as I dream of us being there one day.

 

[Badger]

More often than not I do, unless it's Man Utd, in which case my tradition of always supporting the team they are playing against still applies.

 

[Chamberpot]

Yeah support any English club playing in Europe.

 

[Simster]

I'll watch any European football but really don't give a toss who qualifies and who doesn't until after Christmas. So it's a massive "Meh" from me for ALL English clubs until the business end of the competitions. At which point, I'd hope they all do well except Chelsea who I am massively indifferent to, and Man Utd too to a lesser extent. (I used to quite like Utd a few years ago when they had a spine of British players, but really don't give a f*** about them any more now that they haven't)
