English fans of “Anyone But United” want Barcelona to win. Is that a good thing?

I understand exactly why non-United fans hate the champions – “such an arrogant club”, seems to be a common theme – but shouldn’t English fans support an English club in Europe? It’s an age-old question, and I’d be interested to hear who you’ll be cheering for in Rome.
I’ll be cheering for United, as I admire the way they play football. Plus, call me old fashioned, but I always want English clubs to do well against European opposition. I know that the concept of Man Utd as an English club may be outdated, but that’s the way I’ve always been.
What say you?
