I don't know. To be arrogant you have to have some clue as to why you are that way. I think we do.

But back to the subject, if there were to be any "foreign expansion" I suspect it would just be to go to Canada or Mexico, not to Europe. Toronto, or San Antonio. (What? You mean San Antonio isn't in Mexico?)

Ha Ha If i talked like that in Manchester , I would have the shit kicked out of me !!!!!!!!!!! oh and i hate F*****G Tea!!!!!!!!!!!!

Basically he was a really good college QB, like I have to tell you Ohio State fans as proven by the Heisman trophy he won, and a decent back up when he did get his few chances to play with the Ravens. Now he just needs to hold on to this oppertunity he has currently, even if it is for the hapless 49ers.

Thanks Zomba, I will definitely be looking to meet up pre game with the guys on here. I'm travelling over on my own so it'd be great to meet some friendly Brownies!

Now they are both sucky.

Hi

I live in the UK , and the build up to this game is unbelievable!!! ( same as previous years ) irrespective of the form of both teams

There is an NFL 'party' in Trafalgar square London 24 hrs before the game, i think Elway and Jerry Rice are guests .

I dont think it matters about what kind of form the two teams are in , interest here is at fever pitch!!!

OK, but how many people on this board do you think know what "Trafalgar" is or what its significance was all about?

Well thats a good point , not many i suppose ha ha, i was really only pointing out the location of the "party" , not its significance as one of the most glorious chapters

of English naval history !!!

Now they are both sucky.

@thaak said:

Yeah, but what can you do? The NFL thought, based on last year, and drafts and free agency, that these two teams would be in the hunt for division wins and possibly a playoff win or two.

Now they are both sucky.

That is exactly what they say. But so what. I guess they can express themselves any way they please, you wanker.

I wonder sometimes if the Brits fully understand the game. I'm sure soccer and rugby is more their cup of tea. (pardon the pun). Do they watch and say... "I say Ol chap was that what they call a TD" or "Look that man is taking it to the bloody house, cheerio for him".

either way, i hope that the broncos lose big time.

Maybe someday we will start seeing some expansion teams based in other countries!

LOL, most fans in the UK are just grateful for the chance to see quality football over here! (ok I know As Dean and Denver are poor but....) I officiate games in the UK and the standard is woeful. Most High school teams would beat our best Adult teams. The game is enjoying a resurgence in the UK, in the 80's it was all the rage, I saw Cleveland play Philadelphia at wembley in 89 and was lucky enough to see Sean Payton QB for the Leicester Panthers, during the 90's and early 00's I lost interest in the sport, but regained it partly through the Wembley games. I am coming over to Cleveland for the Steelers game and will see the Browns for only the second time, first in their natural environment, which I am so excited about. However generally these London games are my only contact with pro football, something I am very grateful of and appreciate the sacrifice made by the teams and fans to come to London and give us Brits our yearly football fix. Long may it continue, even if it is the sh*tty 49ers and bloody Broncos!
