If we don't win the league (!), who would you prefer to?

Post by Bring Back Pires »

I've left Aston Villa out of the equation, as I seriously doubt that they can go all the way. And if I did leave them in, they'd probably walk the vote by a country mile. My views as follows...

Liverpool: I wouldn't begrudge them winning it, having waited to do so for so long, but it is also amusing to see this 19+ year run continue. It must piss off their fans to no end. Also, I don't really like Benitez (as a manager or a human being), and for him to have a Premiership and a Champions League on his CV - thus surpassing Arsene - would be scandalous. Steven Gerrard, who I don't actually particularly dislike, probably deserves to win the title with 'Pool for his loyalty over the years.

Man Utd: On one hand, I can't stand them, and everything they stand for. Ferguson, Rooney, Neville, Giggs, Ronaldo, and everything that goes with it. On the other hand, they've won it so many times before that the novelty is probably beginning to wear off, and the supporters wouldn't treasure it as much as the 'Pool or Chelsea fans. In addition, I've (sadly) grown used to seeing them win it, so it doesn't bother me as much anymore. What a shocking state of affairs.

Chelsea: Bottom of the pile. Like Man Utd, but with even greater cretans. Lampard, Terry, Cole, Drogba, Anelka, Scolari, Abramovich; the list goes on and on. Their fans are hideous, pathetic excuses for human beings, and overly aggressive in my view. I was on one of their forums the other day (gaging feedback from the 3-0 reverse at OT; inspired by the Gooner itself), and they were appalled at how this "great club is being disgraced", and that "it needs to return to its glory days, where it belongs". Need I say anymore? The fans feel that the title is now a God-given right, so seeing them fail to win the title for a third consecutive year would be most enjoyable. And remember, Cole hasn't won the title since leaving us, so long may it continue. Additionally, Chelsea are just one Premiership crown away from equalling our tally (bizarrely enough). So let's not allow that to happen.

As I'm passing judgement, Villa would be just fine. I have a lot of time for Martin O' Neill, and his accomplishments - and the quiet, modest fashion in which they are achieved deserves a lot of credit. It would be amazing if they won the league without a world-class player, which isn't looking entirely implausible. The only downside is their fans, and more specifically, their inappropriate behaviour (remember the Eduardo songs, anyone?)

Rather than all this, let's hope that we can perform the miracle of all miracles, and take the glory for ourselves.

United for me - it's nothing new. I hate the Chav's and we would never here the end of it from the Scousers.

Don't like any of them....

But Chelsea is a big no no.

Liverpool would cause the media to go mental, you can just picture them.... besides, their team this season isn't as good as we were a year ago, so if we couldn't win it nor could they

Man Utd have been the best team in England for the last 20 years, except for the occasions we've won it. They'd also beat Liverpool's record and it would officially be 20 years since the Mickies won anything.

Liverpool.

I think it would be best for the game if someone other than Man Utd or Chelsea won it.

Though the nasty side of the scouse fans irritates many here, they also have some decent fans too.
