Neither is likely to happen in my life time, but I would much rather see my lot win the Champions League than England win the World Cup. Even removing from the equation my gradual disenchantment with the national side/the FA's running it over the last few years and the fact there are several players I hate in the squad, if your team wins big, it's
yours. If England won a major trophy, it would be sharing that celebration with fans of clubs you hate, and they're all dickheads, aren't they? Plus all the fair-weather mongs who go two years at a time without watching a single game then stick those shitty little flags on their cars and paint their faces just because there's a big tournament on the TV. Fuck that. Club > country every time. I still remember watching two of our most important players limping off after the Bulgaria game all those years ago and effectively knackering up half a season for us. Fuck England.
I'm also one of the few fans who'd rather the team win the league over CL. CL, generally speaking, is bullshit comp.
How the hell do you work that out?? It's the best club competition in the world, where the best teams from the best leagues collide, and it provides some of the best games of football every season, year in and year out. It's fucking brilliant.
Although it was more credible when you had to win your league to get into the European Cup. But then, there were fewer awesome games then.
*Assuming ManU supporters like seeing England win.
Most of the Man United fans I know couldn't care less about England. Absolutely don't give a shit.
