Sports   (Talk about balls here.)

It's quite easy to say you want English teams to reach the final when you don't have any particular angle on the teams involved.
Had it been say Bolton or Preston or whoever you consider to be Latics rivals in one of those European Semis last night bluesfan would you have been as keen to see them reach the final?
Had it been United in the Semis the other night the token City and Liverpool fan on here would have been cheering the opposition on even if Putin had been managing them.
