There is talk of a chap from Dublin, Robbie Brady getting a game on the left wing for United tonight. He is highly rated. Does anyone know more about him.

GUy from work sent the wife and 2 childer a few years ago, there was no snow :o

That'd be a serious bummer alright.

Found one crowd who cost €2000 for the 3 of us but most of them seem to be dearer. Its ridiculous money but it'd be a once in a lifetime thing. Hard to feckin know.

Its 2,000 to see the real Santa Claus???????? That is too expensive, get him presents indtead and tell him Santa doesn't exist and his wonderful parents paid for this.

Wembley is a bit of a shit hole. Somebody in Germany asked Roger Goodell, the boss of the NFL, why not hold a game in Germany as NFL Europe was much more popular in Germany and Goodell basically told him to shut up and forget about it.

I think they are genuinely hoping that it would be possible to have an NFL franchise in London and are trying to build up demand and a fan base for the NFL product in London.

This is where drafting a wide receiver to show boat in a new billion dollar fantasy stadium gets you. You needed a left tackle Jerry and took Bryant at 24 instead of Bulaga at 23.

Sin City is very good well worth the watch. Watched Robin Hood last week and thought it was ok, not one of Crowe's best and he got some severe criticism over the accent.  Also watched Shutter Island at long last and have to agree, you can see the twist a mile off.

The thing is you are not supposed to know there is a twist before going to see the movie. Go and see it when it comes out in the cinema first. I went to see the sixth sense without know ing there was a twist in it. That is what made the movie great. With both movies the twist is right there in front of you if you know one is coming.

Two shite teams coming to Wembley next week, at least it should be close and not the mismatch of last year. I have a spare ticket by the way.

Falcons are 5-2 leading the NFC. However the schedule this year is much more forgiving. Still not an explosive offence and Ryan is nowhere near an elite QB. On defence they are very suspect. So I predict winning the NFC South and maybe one win in the play-offs but that's the height of it. If we could get home-field advantage maybe, just maybe we might go a bit further.

I actually saw the 49ers and Broncos play in a pre season games in candlestick park in 1992. 49ers won 13-7. The only NFL game I ever saw.

Harris won't play, the Packers are carrying too many injuries to stay competitive in this game. As long as the Vikings mind Jennings and Driver, they should win.

Did anyone see the "Who is the whore now Wayne" sign at the champions league match on wednesday. Some of these fans need to get a grip. There was another sign aimed at Coleen.

Dallas Clark the Indianapolis Colts tight end is finsihed for the season. He has been put on IR and has to have wrist surgery. You can make the Steelers favorites for the super bowl at this point in the season and drop the Colts back into the pack.

We should take a day off down here to celebrate/mourn. We did a national day of mourning for 9/11 when they didn't even do that in the states.

Did the Kangaroo actually die?

Does it matter, not when there are papers to sell. How would it have died?
