    Used to like seeing Man City beat Man U but couldn't care less nowadays.

    Always pick Celtic over Rangers as it seems to irritate the right sort of people

    (I'm sure there are many in the opposite boat!)

    I want Celtic and Rangers to get docked points as I hold them both in equal contempt. Any club that is built around bigotry is a waste of time.

    That's also fair, and yeah it'd be nice if Aberdeen or someone won the title

    Don't really care about many other teams apart from our own. Will support whichever side is doing well / need the points / will do us a favour / will send the Palarse or Millwall down.

    I'm not a Protestant or a Catholic so really don't care what the Jocks do

    Arsenal over Spurs
    Rangers over Celtic
    Sunderland over N'castle
    Brighton over Palace
    Man U over Liverpool
    Watford over Luton
    Cambridge over Posh
    Atletico over Real
    Sevilla over Betis
    Valencia over Levante

    In West London derbies, I'd back whichever one of the other three that Chelsea are playing

    Oh, Spurs over Arsenal goes without saying, it's implicit in the fixture

    What tends to happen with me in derbies is I sort of root for one team to start with but when they score, I start rooting for the other team. I suppose this means that I don't really care.

    Would never pick a side for that Derby

    All I ever hope for is that a big sink hole will appear halfway through the match ridding us of their existences ;)

    Everton over Liverpool
    Sunderland over Newcastle
    Southampton over Portsmouth
    Athletico over Real

    Don't think there are any others I care about

    Welling over Charlton (sorry, but really struggled to think of a rival you have :wink: )

    Welling over Charlton (sorry, but really struggled to think of a rival you have :wink: )

    Would have thought the only non-Millwall related local derby you'd take an interest in would be C-Wing against D-Wing at the Scrubs.

    Mind you, I suppose that is a Millwall-related derby really, what with it effectively being Millwall against Millwall.

    Which fine institute of her majesty were the Charlton train chanting racists sent to?

    I'm sure we could both cobble together a best XI :wink:

    We could "cobble together a best XI". You lot generally have enough on holiday at the same time for a youth academy, an U23 side, a 'B' team and a first team squad.
