Watching the Arse v Dirty Leeds got me thinking about who I wanted to win and why. I chose Dirty Leeds as they were the underdogs, I despise the Arse more than them too. (Although not by much) I've got the same issues tonight. The Shit v Man City. Its got to be Man City I guess as I'm from an era that really really really hates Manure and their glory hunting cunt supporters. (yes i know your second cousins, interbred gay lover once met George Best as he puked on their shoes so that's why you support them, you utter throbbing weapon!) The Victim Bin dippers v Everton was easy. Everton are a proper football club , although I have no idea why i think that. Plus I remember almost as many plastic Scousers wandering around Stoke in the early 70's as Glory hunting Shit supporters later on. (I see Liverpool tops are replacing Chelsea ones slowly around the S-O-T area now too ) But then what if the Shit are in Europe and playing some Italian side. Do I really what the Italian's to win. Xenophobia again is a default setting for many of my generation so do I really want the Shit to lose to Johnny Foreigner? It's a toughie and no mistake. But this isn't just limited to high profile matches. I watch all sorts of different league games and cup games. I invariably choose a favourite for all sorts of weird and bizarre reasons. And finally the one I have most difficulty with is Vale v Crewe. But ultimately , I guess, Its the Vale as they are at least from Stoke and support a local side (As are Crewe supporters in Crewe) and as I'm from Stoke too, then the default setting is, unfortunately the Vale. I could hope one of Trumps diversionary impeachment missiles wander off course and obliterated them both but that's unlikely to happen I'm afraid. Life really is a bitch GD

Well written piece from your sofa David. And I'm with you on all your choices. Can't be an age thing cus you're just a kid and I'm hanging on to dear life with every bottle of wine I can get me hands on. (As you've seen... grandson Tom is making sure I don't fall over while I'm doing so.) Smelly uppers. OS.

Don't care if it's English club v foreign club, not for at least 30 years anyway. Either like one club more than the other or I don't.
The Shit v anyone, that's easy I want the other side to win even if it's Arsenal or Vale.

I could think of reason for hating almost everyone bar Stoke.
I utterly revel in other clubs misery (financially ruined aside) and wish nothing but loss and defeat on everyone.
The only exception I have is for both Sheffield clubs for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Special mention for Liverpool which must be the most odious club ever to exist.

Used to like Man city then over night when the sugar daddy took over the fans I know turned into big headed tossers and would take the piss out of us even though at the time it wasn't that long ago we were both slumming it in the lower leagues.
In short I hate citeh more than any other football club!

Being a football fan is no passtime for a rational being. Anyone behaving rationally would not have been anywhere near the Bet 365 anytime over the past 3 years because anyone behaving rationally would not part with their hard earned cash and give up a chunk of their precious weekend to inflict abject misery upon themselves. Or at least not repeatedly. Accordingly there is no reason why which team you may choose to support in a 'neutral' game is required to make any sense whatsoever.
I personally reserve the right to switch allegiences at half time depending on circumstances.
