Recommended Posts

Rangers 4-3 up away at Capitals in NHL, good game this far.

 

Do you have a job that keeps you up this late, or are you just like me, awesome? I've noticed you're on most of the same hours as myself. :lol:

I can't believe so many people want an all English final.  You do know this means the teams in our league will get bigger and bigger and richer and richer? 

 

The "big four" are not in our league.

 

Because of continual Champions League success.  :kinnear:

i can't believe that in 2009 people are so parochial and xenophobic regarding a competition they have no vested interest in going to another english club, the fans and players of whom you'll likely be spouting venom at when they play NUFC in days/weeks/months to come

 

always blew my mind that, people should want the best team to win when they're not involved and the best team on the planet this season is barca

The best team will be the one that wins the competition, in fairness ;)

 

Pretty sure any of the three English teams could beat Barca over two legs. Pretty certain that any of the three would dominate La Liga too.

I am English, I have a vested interest in  the Champions League as I watch it through out the season & my preference is I would like to see a English club win the Champions League is that so hard to comprehend in 2009?

Not really. You're saying people should want the best team to win, rather than just choosing an English side? Well I think most people do.

the champions league is a club competition, and i presume you support NUFC, so i see no relevance in your nationality and the outcome of this tournament mate

I support England too, which means I tend to end up liking English players (Rooney, Lampard, Walcott) :)

I think if you look at the top 4 they all do quite well getting money off Barca & Real Madrid, so if one of them gets richer one there 1st stop off for major purchases is the PL big 4, I don't there has been significant flow players the other way iirc.

english players make up a pretty small % of the english teams in the CL these days, still failing* to see how being english is relevant to wanting an english team to win the tournament

 

*i'm not failing to see, of course i see, i'm just trying to point out it's a little absurd

As long as the best (read deserving) team wins, I don't care who wins it. If it's an English team then fair enough.

 

If the English teams crash and burn I'll laugh and enjoy it.

Okay then, I would like the teams that compete  domestically against NUFC to win, does that suit you better.

 

Of course nationality has part in it, that is why UEFA give the invitations to The FA & not the Premier League as the teams in it represent  The Football Association, not the Premier League.

I am not sure what you mean by arbitrary nationalistic, I just call it legitimate nationalistic. I respect that you want the favourites to win rather than the plucky English underdogs that is your choice.
