    But sure it was disastrous in any event lad

    2-13 to 0-06 is a beating.

    It is but Dublin are levels above Westmeath in terms of talent so it was always going to be an uphill struggle. I know Kieran Martin. He's a friend of the family. Actually, he's family of sorts as I'm related to his auntie who's my Dad's sister.

    10,000 posts and the season hasn't even begun.

    You guys are some internet-addicted, football-addicted fools.

    I'm coming back to England in JANUARY. To brave the cold. My brother will be joining me in Hounslow on February 2. The only two times I was overseas during the Superbowl (early '98 and '99) my Broncos won both years (and that's the ONLY time they've won it.) I will see if that will continue.

    I see Everton winning the Prem, the League Cup, and the FA Cup this season. It can be no other way!

    No, not my cousin. She's his auntie through marriage.

    And I will be joining you too. I still owe Caligula £40 or something so he'll get that 101% in January. If the Broncos are on TV over here we could all try and find a pub which will show it, as well as consume several alcoholic beverages.

    :lol: I had to work late on the Friday so couldn't give Caligula his money and I hate not paying up when owing someone money. I really want to see an NFL game live over here but tickets sell so quickly it's difficult to get my hands on any.

    Caligula, and Irish, I think you should both create a fantasy football team and join our league :bears:

    I wasn't worried about it, Jimmy. It was a shame we only got to hang out that first night but I have a night job and I know how it is. I was pretty hammered that night and BTW, Liam did pay me back the next night (I'd have bet my life he wouldn't.) I saw him at the airport when I was flying out and I confronted him about acting like a dickhead when he gets drunk/drugged up and he played it off. At least I let him know.

    Yeah, Billy Hunger, Jimmy, I'll give you guys the dates for the next trip. Be warned, the Superbowl is On a Sunday night and kicks off at 11:15 pm your time. It won't end until 3 am. So your plans for Monday better be next to doing nothing.

    I don't really like that guy to be honest. He's just someone I say hello to. I'll book that Monday off work then. Do you know where we can watch the SuperBowl?

    He's cool until he gets wasted and then he doesn't know how to act or talk to people. I saw him piss several people off that week and he even yelled at me once when I was leaving the pub. At the airport when I saw him I told him not to ever talk to me like that and he acted like it never happened. "Nah, mate, I didn't want you to get in trouble!" He acts a fool then comes back the next day acting like nothing happened so he needs to be told off.

    The Superbowl is Sunday, 7 February. I can find a pub that'll show it on NFLUK.com. I used to post there and there are some hard core English NFL fans that will be watching it in London.

    Some people show their true colours when they're drunk or off their faces on drugs. I think he's one of them.

    Yeah, that sounds cool. London is introducing 24 hour tubes soon I think, so we should be able to make our way back to Hounslow at that time in the morning, unless we all decide to get a taxi.

    English players are shit for the fees they command. 16m for Welbeck. I wanted to kill myself. Sterling for 49m is absurd.

    If Danny Welbeck is worth 16m, Charlie Austin is worth 32m. Sterling isn't worth that price. Liverpool win.

    Liverpool and Tottenham have gotten great transfer fees. Problem is they have spent it on shit. Both could have paid 1/3rd of the cost of a new stadium with the fees received and both haven't even started to build a stadium, or even a quality football team for that matter.

    I thought the new Tottenham stadium was a done deal. They signed an agreement with the NFL to let them play some games there in the next few years.

    November 7th!!! Arsenal vs Tottenham. Most likely will only get to see one game but that's a doozy to go to.

    They have but not one shovel of dirt has been moved. They are doing it backwards. One they don't have 60,000 fans. What a piss take. 2. They don't have Champions League football. They will be struggling even more.

    That sucks about the one game but that is the one to see.

    I usually try to time it so I can see three games within a span of eight or nine days but it doesn't always work out.

    With Arsenal in the CL that wouldn't be hard to do for next time.
