Association Football

Arsenal v T*ttenham - Er Arsenal, I think. As a kid I liked the Spuds because I loved Lineker, but I quite like Arsenal really, ever since they beat Man U at OT in 98. It's also why I love Overmars and Bergkamp. Also I don't like Tottenham these days they are the new Newcastle and hammered us a couple of times in Cups.


Liverpool v Everton
- Heh, hate this day every year. A Liverpool win much more bearable than an Everton one and blues more likely to start trouble on derby day in my experience.

Man Utd v Man City
- ABU.

Liverpool v Man Utd- ABU.

Rangers v Celtic - As a kid, I rooted for Celtic because Rangers had won a load in a row. And then Rangers played at PP and I got caught up in a sea of flying bottles outside the Clipper, I was about 13 or 14, whatever age you are that sort of thing makes you not like a team.

Barcelona v Real Madrid - Real Madrid. I don't like Barca. They are like Brazil, the media constantly telling me that everyone loves them, well I don't. Uppercut once said they are what everyone wants their team to be like, well I don't. I hate being told what I should like and that's why I hate Barca. Of course, Real are no angels, far from it, lesser of two evils really. Plus a few years back they had a few English players which warmed me to them slightly.

AC Milan v Internazionale - Er never really thought about this actually

England v Argentina - Why is this even a question, anyone who picks the Argies should get a perma, simple as.

Tranmere V Bolton - Whites

Tranmere V Wrexham - Whites

Tranmere V Jester - Whites

Rugby Union

The All Blacks v The Wallabies

The All Blacks v The Springboks
- Kinda neutral on these, not a big fan of the All Blacks but it's hard for me to ever root for Crims or Saffas.

England v France
- Not a big Union man anyway, will only really watch Six Nations & WC, but this one is obvious hey...England



Rugby League



Wigan v St Helens
- St Helens. Same reason why I rooted for Celtic over Rangers as a kid really, also I've been stalkishly obsessed with at least eight girls from St Helens.



Cricket

England v Australia
- Rivalries are supposed to be competitive, call me back when Australia actually manage to beat us.

Pakistan v India - Pakistan, usually. Changes from time to time really.

Yorkshire v Lancashire - Lancashire


FTR, hadn't seen Brumby's 'ABU' stance when I made my post but I'm hoping it will be a recurring theme throughout the thread
