NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

[El Scorchio]

"I know- it's exactly that- kind of what I was saying when I alluded to 'schedules'. It was a bit of a vague statement on my part though, I'll give you that! The likes of the Giants, Redskins, Packers and Cowboys will never give up a home game. I suppose just because of that, you'll get the same bollocks teams like the Jags and appearing as the home side repeatedly. To be fair they've done a pretty decent job in bringing almost everyone over (the better teams as visitors) thus far."

[Grumpster]

"Not just because of the schedule scorch, it's also down to the actual teams being willing to play over here, as for the supposed home team, it means giving up a home game and the revenue it brings. Fine for the teams who keep playing over here as they have shit support, but the mobs who sell out every game aren't willing to give them up. Not just for revenue, but because they don't want their fans losing out on one game considering they only have 8 to go to a year. That's what I was told anyway."

"El Scorchio 1:11 Mon Oct 31 I think it's still difficult to persuade some teams to come over, especially as a home team. The new ruling meaning if a city wants to host a Superbowl they have to give up a home game to the International Series is why Miami are back next year. I think we'll see the Texans and Seahwaks as away teams next year. And there will be 4 London games by all accounts."

[colinos]

"Far Cough 4:07 Fri Oct 28 I am, but offered the Bengals my support yesterday. Thought it was a great game. Calling time out on the ""game winning"" FG was genius. Atmosphere one of the best yet from the London games. How much time did Cousins have in the pocket though?! I couldn't work out if it's a bad Benglas D or a quality Skins O."

[El Scorchio]

"Should be a decent match up, that. 4th fucking time for the Dolphins though? (No contract for them to play here unlike the Jags and Rams) I know it's schedule permitting, but how about a couple of the teams yet to play in London make the trip over instead? Packers Eagles Ravens Cards Would all be good to watch"

i just got back from Wembley too -- strangely it feels great to have seen a draw after overtime... probably once in a lifetime thing .

[Takashi Miike]

"on my way home from wembley, i enjoyed it and it was a decent game but I couldn't handle doing it on a regular basis. far too many train spotter type cunts and with everyone spread everywhere it for most part felt like how a testimonial did over west ham (maybe it came too soon after Wednesday's game). you get more of an appreciation of quarterbacks watching them live but penalties stopped us from winning, with Norman fucking us the most with his sloppy play"

[Grumpster]

That bloke looked fucked.

[Takashi Miike]

........and I bet I'm sitting right in the middle of their fans :.(

[Takashi Miike]

Bengals are at home cough

[Far Cough]

"colinos, I thought you were a Fish fan?"

[Far Cough]

"Not that it matters but which team is at ""home""/"

[colinos]

"Looking forward to Sunday, will be rooting for the Bengals."

[Takashi Miike]

"Cheers, hopefull they open early though I'm not planning on getting bollocksed"

[Grumpster]

Yep the Torch is decent. Left out the station away from the stadium and just up the hill.

[Far Cough]

"Mike, the Torch?"

[Takashi Miike]

I was going to pop downdown there tomorrow but the cunts are sending no decent names so they can stick it up their arse. remind me again please what that pub is at Wembley and what station?

[Grumpster]

"Poor cunts will be skint after going in there, I bought 3 pints and 2 diet cokes at lunch and it cost me £21."

[Takashi Miike]

that's the pub where the skins function is tomorrow

[Grumpster]

"Went for a stroll from Tower Bridge to London Bridge at lunch and there are shit loads of Bengals and skins fans around, as in you can tell they are yanks and over for the game. Best two supported teams I've seen over here. Popped in The Barrow Boy and Banker as well and they seem to have some sort of Skins thing going on."

[Far Cough]

"Great team that, loved the Hogs"

[Takashi Miike]

"it'd be nice to have him at the game cough and i think he's still in good health. I'm sure Doug Williams will be there as he works for the club now, just wish they'd organised an event during the week with some ex players like Monk, Green, Riggins & The Hogs"

[Far Cough]

"Mike, will Joe Gibbs be coming over? ;-)"

[Takashi Miike]

"my mob fly in tonight, all seems a bit half hearted to me and Gruden seemed less than enthused earlier in the week. some of the redskins people (Larry Michael & Doc Walker) are visiting a pub near London bridge Saturday evening for a meet & greet/question & answer session for a few hours"
