Now I'm a football fan, but you should watch some high-level rugby union sometime. Those guys tackle as hard as football players and with much better form. The big guys aren't as big (300 pounds, tops), but top-level locks, loose forwards and three-quarters have all the physical attributes to...

The crowd were booing the hell out of that call. It was just obviously idiotic. Everyone knew that was a seriously dumb move.

Think I saw this interview in the flesh. Was it out in front of the stadium on Wembley Way?

It's a beautiful, crisp Autumn morning here, about fifty miles north of Wembley. Forecast for tonight: 14 deg C and clear. BBC Weather | Wembley Looking good. Off to London in an hour.

The thing which could scuttle it, actually, would be the green argument. Not that the impact of one team is enormous, but it could turn into really bad PR. I'd love a team over here, though. Love it. I wouldn't stop being a Pats fan, but of course I'd go to the games.

I live in Cambridge, but I'm from Edinburgh. :)

They're all Southerners. South of Berwick-upon-Tweed; southerners. :)

So who's actually going to be at this game, then?

A nurdle's a bunt. Ish.

Most of the stadium are going to be Pats fans. Including me. Why would you want to mock your supporters? The Revolutionary War was a long, long time ago, man. :)

When you hear Manchester United, think Yankees. That about covers it.

It sort of works: I used to go to Claymores games there as a teenager. Whoever thought Gav Hastings would make a decent kicker was delusional. I'm from Edinburgh, but I've lived in Cambridge for ten years. My neighbours emigrated to Boston in '85, just after Channel 4 had started showing...

Just quickly dropping into this thread to say I'll be at the game. (If any of you are on the bosco.net list, hi there!)

Maroney averages well north of 4YPC for his career. Laurence Maroney: Career Stats If he stays healthy - huge if, I admit - he's capable of being one of the top ten backs in the league, particularly with the work he's done receiving. If he's returning kicks he may well be up near 2000...

And posting here's shamed it into working. Job done. :)

Is the FieldPass stream of the Patriots working for anyone? It's just silent here - I'd call the customer service line, but I'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic...

Re: New Touchdown Song Theme from Sparta FC #2 by the Fall. Trust me, it'd rule.

Some of us left usenet to get away from this...

I share a house with a few other folks. One of my housemates' fiance brings their Rough Collie (a Lassie dog) when he visits, and it's *so true*. Walk that dog and you're instantly five times more popular. :)

We all are. That's why we're fans. I felt gutted when I read the post earlier this evening (well, morning here, it's gone 3am). That's my reaction, though, and judging AV's actions through fan-tinted glasses is just a bit silly, really. Players' motives - and coaches', and management's - are...
