Just thought I'd stir things up with this. It'd be great if people could cite their reasons.....

1) Kerry - They've enough won.
2) Armagh - The pain that team inflicted on Donegal through the naughty's was just cruel.

Everyone likes to see the underdog win (apart from when they are playing their own county). I don't like to see the current champions (whoever they may be) win continuously. It would be great, say, Tipperary footballers win this year. I think lots of people would support them and wish them well. It might be different then next year or the year after if they had a period of sustained dominance. People often misrepresent this as begrudgery.

Best to keep it to realistic hopes I think. We'd all like to see Tipp winning but their Championship ends this weekend.

1. Dublin. . .I don't feel they're playing of a level playing field
2. Monaghan. . .the noisy neighbours.
3. Meath. . .the stonethrowers (although I do like, looking back, those teams of the 80s and 90s under Boylan)

Mayo, ever sport needs a team like them ;)

Honorable mention to Cork, always want them to be competitive in Munster and the All-Ireland but never want to see them climb the steps of the Hogan.

17 years in waiting, long may it continue.

Is that a complete sentence?

Normally it is the team who give you the most beatings and in Donegal's case that would be Monaghan. However Monaghan are a likeable team and I always cheer them on when not playing Donegal.

It is always nice seeing new teams doing well as they bring a freshness to the competition. For example it would be great to see Galway wining the football this year.

Dublin, 3 of the last 10. 25 in total.

Kerry, 4 of the last 10 years. 37 in total. Not bored of them yet though no?
