Association Football

Arsenal v Tottenham - preferred them in the days before the Prem, Gazza, Linekar, Thorstvedt...... OK, clutching at straws there, but have no problem with spurs.

Liverpool v Everton - Granddad was a fan from when he first came to England, was his English club (behind Celtic), so that'll do me

Man Utd v Man City - hahahahaha

Liverpool v Man Utd - obvious reasons, don't actually have too much beef with Liverpool, so long as they don't beat us

Rangers v Celtic - Irish Catholic family n all that, also the Scottish part of my family are huge Celtic fans

Barcelona v Real Madrid - Good friend from school, his family was from Madrid so was a Real fan, also Barca kept on beating us at that time ('94).... Though we had beat them when it counted in 91

AC Milan v Internazionale - My first 'foreign' club, after utd drew 1-1 in a pre season friendly with them in 90/91 (one of the two). Plus, have an absolute awesome set of fans, who made us feel welcome when we played there (a few weeks after the Romans had decided to try and kill everyone.....)

England v Argentina..... Next!

Rugby Union

The All Blacks v The Wallabies

Association Football

Newcastle v Sunderland - Sunderland. The sight of the tubby, blubbing Geordie fan in his replica kit has been a delicious staple of MotD for years now. Never gets old.

Aston Villa v Birmingham - Villa, actually. Brum fans rather unpleasant in my experience.

Chelsea v T*ttenham - Chavs. Unless a Chav defeat would somehow benefit the Arse.

Leeds Utd v Man Utd - Eeeuw. Dirty Leeds and a shower.

Millwall v West Ham - Irons. The academy & 66 an all that, isn't it?

England v Germany - England, obv.

England v Scotland - England, obv.

Germany v Holland - The Dutch; even if Jerry wasn't a rival of ours Big Den was a clog wearer and that'd be enough. Although the reputation for total football has taken a bit of a hammering after the WC final.

Spain v Portugal - Pfft. Spain, probs. Beat us less on pens.

Brazil v Argentina - Brasil. Not Argentina and that.

Rugby Union

England v Wales - England, obv

England v Scotland - England, obv

Leicester v Bath - Tigers. Mate's a massive fan and one can only go to so many games without starting to root for them a little.

Cricket

Australia v India - Toughie, tbh. Depends on my mood.

New Zealand v Australia Black Caps everyday.

Surrey v Middlesex - Middlesex, really. Surrey did have a spell of winning everything, but they are the county of Thorpe and Jardine, so have slight soft spot for them.

Golf

Ryder Cup: Europe v USA - Yurp, obv. Although faintly embarrassing GB & Ire were so gash we had to rope in the continent to help us out.

Tennis

Bjorn Borg v John McEnroe - Superbrat. Was childhood hero with his paddies whilst Borg was curiously bloodless.

Pete Sampras v Andre Agassi - Pistol Pete. Never sported a mullet

Roger Federer v Rafa Nadal - Our Rog still. Has been a bit ****ish since his domination has ended tho, but.

 

[nightprowler10]

Would like to see where people stand on Celtics vs Lakers as well.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Carlton vs Collingwood - hope there's a massive fire, and I've locked the exit gates.

nightprowler10 v barmy army

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not my bag, mate, sorry. Although the Red Hot Chili Peppers never made the world's worst song about the Celtics, so that has to count in their favour.

AussieDominance vs benchmark00

Not my bag, mate, sorry. Although the Red Hot Chili Peppers never made the world's worst song about the Celtics, so that has to count in their favour.

No worries. Thought there were enough casual followers who might pick up on it.

Roger Federer v Rafa Nadal Rafa; Fed cries far too much especially in AUS09

 

[vcs]

Pretty flexible in my football support.. usually never cheered for Germany before this WC, but liked the football they played this time. I usually always cheer against England, but you never know, they might produce an attractive team and I might go for them sometime in the future.

I'm pretty flexible in club football as well, but Arsenal > everyone else.

Tennis :

Borg, McEnroe - before my time. Would probably have gone for Magical Mac.
Sampras vs. Agassi - Sampras all the way but warmed to the old bald codger in his later years.
Federer vs. Nadal - Federer all the way.
