No tailgating. I was with my son who is 13. Actually the pre-match seemed to be a lot more centred around bars rather than tailgating which was another way in which it was more like an English football experience. Hoping to get to another game soon. Most people I work with are Gator fans...

Isn't it a bit early for a thread about how Christmas keeps getting earlier? Can the mods ensure that in future these don't pop up until at least October? Thanks you.

It was indeed a college (American) football game in Gainesville , Florida. Troy come from Alabama apparently - I didn't know that either. Thanks for indulging me on this for a couple of reasons. Firstly I really have fallen for Florida with almost the same obsession I had for the Albion and...

Gators 56 Troy 6 Att : 90,359 Go Gators! (And Tennessee lost).

As you rightly point out Tessa was a lolloping trolloping sauce pot. Woof! I believe that after retiring she became the face of Estee Lauder? These days Fatima supplements her meagre income from hod carrying with some backstreet bare knuckle fighting.

Yeah yeah. Tragic. Terrible for the poor girl. Bleak future. Cultural issues making her life all the harder etc etc etc. Anyway. For some reason reminds me of the true story of the time Fatima Whitbread went to see her doctor about the problem of her hairy chest. The doctor took a look and...

What the hell were you thinking of man? Of greater concern than your deserved 90 minutes of purgatory are the facts that you seemingly have a mate who supports Palace (arguably unavoidable if you will live in Croydon I suppose) and secondly that he is passing on his filthy habit to an innocent...

Most places in the US have a similar policy but with the "look like age" limit at anywhere between 30 and 35. Actually for anyone taking in an NFL game the policy there (and this if from the horses's mouth as my friend works a concession stand at the Jacksonville stadium) is to ID EVERYONE...

In response to the question from the DCH the Jags will do better than last year which is not saying much. Funnily enough I have a good feeling about Sunday's opener away to the Colts. Watch that one get shot down! I will go for something like 8-8 or maybe 9-7. Will be nice if we still have an...

Yep but feeling tired so might not get past half time. As a Jags fan I hope the Steelers win tonight.

Go Gators indeed. Thank you!

Might have missed the boat on this one but re Easy 10's pics I don't think it's particularly the pic of the face that makes Fratton Park look so shite so much as that it's Shitesmouth's stadium and is by definition in Portsmouth and thereofore Hampshire as a whole. They could play in a replica...

Thanks for the background info Kieron. Will be travelling to London from Durrington next Thursday and might otherwise have given this infidel some business. Will forego a morning coffee now on a point of principle. Happy memories of that game. Beating Charlton 7-0 at the Goldstone in 83...

Off to the Swamp , aka Florida Field , aka the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium , on Saturday for the Florida game. Almost unheard of for tickets to go on general sale but managed to get decent-ish seats for 40 bucks a pop. HFD! Should be a pretty one sided game but a chance to see Tebow play live...

What an enormous disappointment! I always loathed H with an intensity most people reserve for Anthea Turner and Diego Maradona. For a brief happy moment there I thought he had shuffled off this mortal coil. Does this make me a bad person?

I see Reading as a pretty decent parallel here. Ok they had a bit of momentum going in the few years before they moved to the Mad Stad but their crowds were , on the whole , pretty small. Build a nice shiny new stadium with decent facilities and people will go. I know the stated aim is to be...

I'm flying home on Sunday for my first visit to England in 3 years and was just curious about how much a beer is going to set me back these days. I suppose the 3 quid pint is a reality these days? Oh well it's a necessity but if someone would be helpful enough to let me know how much a night...

Imperialism has it's price Mike? Would you care to explain that futher? For now I will reserve judgement and try not to jump to the obvious conclusion about you.

Fair enough Tedebear. Your team were giving LSU a good game upto a few mins ago when my bed started calling to me. Florida won 62-3 but it was only Charleston Southern. As Juan points out the Buckeyes did have a bit of an escape against the Navy. I love college football me. So much...

I'm puzzled. Why exactly would you not be Gators fans? Actually I work with a Buckeyes fan and his life is made pretty miserable. Rivalry is noticeably a lot more good natured here though that at home. Jacksonville will be a sea of blue and orange today. Off to Publix to get supplies for...
