I guess the answer to the question "current" hating would be Steaua, since I've only really hated them since I moved to Romania. Franchise ever since they've existed, too. Most of my hatred is reassuringly permanent though. I couldn't really describe my utter abhorrence of those vile tossers from near Finsbury Park station as "current" for example.
Bonetti didn't play in that game, or the first leg at Tannadice.

Currently disliking my own team Bolton for sheer incompetence but can never hate them. Hating is reserved for the always abhorrent Manchester United and Juventus with dishonourable mentions for Wigan and Tranmere Rovers
The one thing that would improve football on TV the most (aside from having Jamie Redknapp publicly subjected to crushing by elephant) would be an option to turn off commentary, leaving crowd noise only. But no, instead the TV innovators come up with the toe-curling "Fanzone". And they wonder why I refuse to subscribe.
1. AFC Wimbledon - Agree with their reasons for forming, dislike their fans having dealt with them in the Ryman League. Think they have a devine right to climb the ladder, hope they stay in Ryman oblivion for years to come.
2. Liverpol in Europe - Im not sure why, but I just find Liverpool in europe very frustrating and dont want to listen to another victory about them on 606.
3. Work colleagues who think this weekedns FA Cup semis are dull as none of the 'Big Four' (copyright Sky) are involved.bastardos!
4. Ex pros writing and talking about back chatting refs and how it is wrong, despite they made a living from it (Ian Wright etc)
I was almost going soft over the last few weeks, to the point where I had stopped passionately caring that either Arsenal or Chelsea prevent Man U from winning the title, on the grounds that Man U have been playing such good football that I almost had to grudgingly concede that they deserved the title this season.
Then I remembered Rio Ferdinand's 100-hooker "wives and girlfriends not welcome" team Christmas party, and I regained my sanity.
