If it's England, I don't have a preference -- just WIN!!!
If it's my beloved Tottenham, then I much prefer some style and grace to be on show. The odd scrappy pile of **** is okay, but in the main it has to be good football. The Spurs way (esp Glen Hoddle) inspired the mighty Dennis Bergkamp (amongst others) during his childhood years. That's something to be proud of.
But on the other hand, if I was more accustomed to the team winning, my opinion might be different? lol.
