European club competitions are club competitions. The Palace thread answers it for me. Even though they are an English club, they're still Palace - I want them to lose, badly, nay humiliatingly. Nearly the same applies to those perennial hate figures Man Utd. Anyone else, couldn't care less.
Sure the reflected glory of English successes is nice to bask in, but that's it.
yes - if it wasn't for RA's money flooding into Chelsea, Leon wouldn't have been bumped out so readily AND Nicolas wouldn't have been so readily available either. Trickle effect, etc.
When Ranieri was there, i really wanted them to well, as he was treated so badly! Now though.... i want them to do well in Europe, but i hate that Arrogant pratt Morinho!
