I've always supported English teams in Europe derek, but northern teams come first, except Burnley, but they won't be playing in Europe any time soon, nearest they come is the Isle of Man tournament Can't say I like Chelski either. Its surprising how times change, I remember when Rovers signed Chris Sutton in 1994, Jimmy Grease writting in the Sun said he hope Rovers didn't win anything because they were trying to buy the league, Can't remember him saying to much about Chelski's spending can you. I've always said you can't buy the league, if they could why have Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle ect never won it, money helps but buying the right players and the right coaching is the main ingredient
