Why do we love our top4 clubs to falter in Europe?

I hate liverpool because Kenny is a smug bastard, and Suarez has one of those faces you'd love to punch repeatedly.

 

Sums it up really. Liverpool have a lot of players like that though...

 

Ahh, but you have Nile Ranger, who suffers from the same syndrome as Suarez. I think it's called "I'm a complete ****er, please deck me"

 

I'm going to pretend Nile Ranger is in no way associated with NUFC while he is at Barnsley.

 

And I hate that they've looked mediocre all season, signed several overpriced mediocre players, and yet they continued to have praise reaped on them, particularly Suarez who continues to choke in front of goal and yet receives consistent plaudits from pundits and commentators.

 

I always want the English teams to do well, simply to show that the prem is the best league in the world

 

As some have said I want the English teams to do well to shed a good light on the Premier League plus it means it will attract better players to watch to the league! We may even capitalise on it when players will move to us over say a better team in the German league..

However I never ever want Liverpool to do well, good job they are not in it anymore

 

Well my opinion is .. I hate Man U for obvious reasons, hate Man City because they are only a good side because of some rich arabs, dislike liverpool because their scouting range is "North east england and now and then abroad", wish the best for arsenal and spurs (in europe).

 

This, also translates over to the National team for me. Hate the players every week so can't bring myself to support them in an England shirt.

 

Wouldn't say so.

I also hate the likes of Blackburn , Stoke , Liverpool and Spurs and that doesn't come down to jealousy.

I hate Man United for the amount of arrogant fans that they have , the glory hunters that are pretty much everywhere , the fact that they always get decisions in big games etc.

Hate Man City even more so after our game against them and the way their fans behaved as well (yes I know ours weren't exact angels either). Also , they are ruining football with their spending.

Chelsea same reason as above (ruining football with their big spending).

I feel that the media have polarised everything to do with the 'top clubs' and people get force fed the smallest details about the players.

It's called overkill and I think many people have come to dislike people like Ashley Cole, Wayne Rooney, John Terry, Gareth Barry and Theo Walcott etc simply because of the over-the-top coverage that they get as English players in the Premier League.

I don't think it helps that there are so many foreign players in the PL - Arsene Wenger was quoted in the week as being surprised that Arsenal were the "first English team" to qualify for the knock-out stages of the Champions League. I would suggest that Arsenal are the first English club to qualify.

I think many people are losing their sense of identity with clubs because of all the foreign players - Carlos Tevez certainly doesn't help matters with his recent behaviour.

Personally, I like to see English clubs do well in European competition - I may well be in the minority.

 

I always support British clubs in Europe, even Rangers & Celtic's CL campaigns in August each year

 

I wouldn't say that we're unique in Europe for sometimes revelling in a top teams failings in Europe.

I know many PSG and Rennes fans who always cheer on the opposition when Marseille, Lille or Lyon are playing.

Several Spanish friends are fairly ambivilent when it comes to Real or Barca playing as they just expect them to win, but when they lose; they think it's good.

Italian supporters seem to hate every other team apart from thier own and always wish them ill fortune.

Belguim may be different because of the lingusitic differences (Flemish vs French) so fans of Anderlecht are more than happy to see Standard Liege fail and vice versa.

I'd say that many German fans are pleased when Bayern fail.

Why? Many times it just comes down to jealousy and the sheer boredom of having the same teams in the same competition year after year after year.

 

As a fan of the Premier League, I always want the English clubs to do well in the Champions League.
