no it isn't. It's a ****ing boring several hour shite fest of meandering, mundane and moribund pointlessness in which multiple talentless Neanderthals accumulate 'yardage' by lining up against one another in the sporting equivilant of trench warfare.

I like American football and always enjoy staying up to watch the super bowl just for spectacle if anything, but I still find the 'special teams' that come on just for a kick a bizarre and the fact that one guy's only job is just to kick the ball straight :lol:

Though I have to say 'the sporting equivalent of trench warfare' is a very good description of american football :lol:

Agree 200% Chorlton !

I never kick a ball...........I played both ways..........oooer missus, both on Offense and Defence, I enjoyed defence more, because to could knock ten bales out of the opposition 8-)

Oh and any one who slacks off American football only does so because it is beyond their comprehension as you need to be fairly intellegent to understand it :mrgreen:

On a completely different note............and back to the game at hayden Road, Does anyone know where I can purchase a ginger wig? :mrgreen:

American football???? Ohhh, you mean girlies rugby !! ;)

Aidy Mann I am, I am!

I did start writing the rest, but then I realised that I'm too polite

Ginger wigs and Aidy Mann songs anyone?

Yep, I can see it (probably) being the first UCL game with a delayed kick-off due to fan congestion.

I think I will walk to this one the exercise will do me good. Beeeeer.

Cheer up Aidy Mann..........
