British teams in Europe

by joeymancityz. (U4783)

Morning all

Just having a discussion at work about should you always support British (I would usually say English but in the current climate that would be a tad unfair) club in Europe other than your own? Some say yes, others no.
Personally I don't subscribe to this. There are clubs I'd like to see do well... I would have loved West Ham to win the Europa league, I desperately want Frankfurt to win tonight, wouldn't have minded Leicester winning that other one, but not solely on the basis that they come from the same country.
What are everyone's thoughts??

I won't be supporting any top 5 league teams (and utd) in the finals. Nothing personal just would not like them to gain confidence from the win the next time we play them!
For the CL, I won't be supporting any team that has officials badmouthing us either so not really fussed... just hope its a good game of football and no cheating involved...

A most fascinating C/L final,
Old Carlo's a clever so and so and it would not surprise me to see RM ,with the gods so much in their favour against, PSG, Chelsea and Man City, beat Liverpool convincingly.
With Eintracht Frankfurt v Rangers, I go with Frankfurt, If they can give Barca a football lesson,they don't have to fear Rangers.

Would like to know the odds on this.

Definitely supporting Rangers tonight. And although I don't like Liverpool (never have and don't know why really) I do want them to win the CL.

A lot depends on who they’re playing. I’d support anyone against Atletico Madrid, for example!

Always back a English team even if I hate them. Gotta back them in my view as they are flying the flag for our league.

It is easy to support an English side if you don't have rivalry with them or if you have a soft spot for them or if they happen to be your "second" team. A concept I do not understand as a City follower supporting (and getting bullied as a kid) my local team.

I always want the British teams to win in Europe, although that excludes United. I just can't do it.

Although I did nearly jump in the air in '99 before I caught myself on but I think that was more to do with the shock of it all.

Don’t really mind who wins tonight, but I’ll edge towards rangers. West ham can fack off, so glad they got schooled by Frankfurt

I'm already spit-roasting a dachshund in preperation for a Frankfurt win.

Expecting a Frankfurt win but rangers I certainly lu wouldn’t write off seeing they’ve already beaten two better german sides. Tricky one to calll
