    Do you support other English/British/UK/Irish teams in the Champions/Europa League?

    E.g. if you are an Arsenal fan, do you want Man City to win when they play in the Champions League?

    Forgot to make votes public, noooo!

    I did when I was younger (I think), but there is absolutely no point nowadays. All the big 6 teams are predominately foreigners - so you aren't really back English teams/players. I probably supported Spurs recently given they have a fair few English lads, and they aren't really a "big" team.

    No, but I remember 'supporting' Chelsea in 2012 (until the final) because I had been telling a Porko I played football with that 'AVB' was a chancer and this seemed like the best proof.

    Not for the 'big' teams but when someone like Leicester get in I hope they go far.

    It depends, but on the whole yes. There are certain foreign teams that I like for reasons probably related to FM which I'll half-heartedly cheer on, but for the most part I'll back the British side. Man City are an exception at the moment. Also, while I wanted that Irish team to trump Zenit this year, I think that was because of underdog status as opposed to giving a shit about the Irish.

    I normally prefer to see British teams winning (apart from the odd occasion when it's more enjoyable to lol at Arsenal or Man City) but not for any defensible reason other than familiarity. Football rivalries are amongst the most childish things in existence so lol at anyone who goes in for that kind of rubbish, for reference see: Smiffy.

    The last European game I watched was the Real Madrid 4-1 Atletico extra time final, so I don't really cheer anyone on.

    I don't mind seeing any of the Irish teams doing well in Europe as it's never on the radar so does be a bit of a novelty if they win a game, even Cork City. For the English teams I like seeing Man U and Chelsea do well.

    Not really. I last enjoyed someone elses fortune in the mid 00s when Fulham and Middlesbrough had their runs.

    Otherwise, the sooner they're knocked out the better.

    Once I did, then I moved onto wanting to lol at United's rivals, now I mostly don't care. Though I'd probably support a team of reanimated Nazi ubermensch if they were playing one of Real Madrid or Barcelona these days.

    I did in the early days when Europe still felt like uncharted territory.

    I support any Mexican team on an international competition. By support I mean I prefer them winning over some South American, not shouting at the TV or wearing their tricot.

    I was an avid season ticket holder for Torquay United (lol) so I guess I support them by lolling at them every time they lose a match which will eventually get themselves relegated to the South West Devon Premiership league or something similar to that next season.

    I do like to see Devonian sides do well in higher EFL leagues though (which is a fucking rarity these days).

    No, unless I've got a bet on.

    I only want Liverpool to win.
    I'm a twit

    I wonder if 1860 Munich fans do tedious small time gags to their Bayern supporting mates, such as 'Oh I bet it's a long trip back to Lower Saxony'.

    Nope! In saying that I always root for the underdog or if circumstances are wrong in a game I'll vote for the unjust decision team. Lol at that sentence.

    Anyone but scum basically.

    I hope all our rivals fail but there have been moments during the occasional match where I've silently rooted for them for one reason or another. Usually a greater dislike for the opponents or because it will benefit Liverpool.

    I'm not particularly bothered, but I'll tend to watch UK vs. European matches way more than European vs. European.

    I hardly support my own team in the Champions League so it's unlikely I'd ever find myself supporting the others.

    I'm not overly fussed but it's nice to see English teams win. Don't give a fuck about Scottish teams.
