While there is no excuse for UK residents to claim to "support" the winning teams unless they were born/live in that city, it is more understandable that foreigners praise the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal as the limited TV coverage is likely to be saturated with their star-studded games.
A shame the lower divisions matches are not screened outside of the UK (hard enough to find them within the UK) - this is still REAL football without the pretentious, petulant, planet-sized egoed, overpaid bastard superstars hundeds of thousands of people flock to see every weekend.
