I definatley want Leeds to win, I'd cheer for any British club over an Aussie one anyday. Perhaps I'm missing something because I don't follow football but it even annoys me when in the Champions League a United fan will cheer for the team playing Liverpool and vice versa.
Quote="GT"Football rivalry is more tribal than RL rivalry. In the example you've used, Liverpool fans crow about the fact that they've won 5 European Cups and United only 3. Hence neither side wants the other to win more and catch up/move further in front. No one sees the clubs as 'English' clubs, they just see them as Liverpool or United or whoever else it might be.
As for Leeds and Melbourne... Can't say I'm too fussed, to be honest. Unless they've been saving themselves recently I can't see Leeds winning this one.'"
What he said. Got two freebies for Sunday but can't say I'm particularly desperate to use them at such a dump of a ground and a game that could quite possibly be a walkover.

Well, we're good but give Melbourne some credit mate - they're not Saints
