I don't judge anyone because of superbowl rings. Dan Marino and Dan Fouts both have none, and I wouldn't rate anyone's opinion after telling me Peyton is better because he has one ring and will possibly have another 2 before he retires. Do I think Steve Young or Aikman are better than Dan Marino or Warren Moon because they have more than one ring each and the latter have none? Moronic arguement. Now that I've mentioned Warren Moon...sorry, but he was a much better passer than Peyton. Warren Moon had a gun and his passes looked more silky-sexy than any qb I've ever seen in America. Period. Back to topic...one thing is for sure--no city in America partied after a superbowl win like my city just did. Case. Closed.

bernies elbow, we're not crying about Katrina...and don't hate just because we're the best city this country has to offer...my "mistake by the lake" friend. UP THE SAINTS! WHO **** DAT!

Come on you lions! I'm in love with 18 different women...

great challenge by reocoker, bad call given to spam. Come on Villa!

I'll give someone an American dollar for an audio link...

Don't want to annoy your lot, but it's killing me not to listen on the internet radio. UP THE VILLA! I'm in love with 18 different women.

commentary?

Heard we just scored. Why can't I hear the game...just spent 70$ for stupid main site matchlive bullcrap.

Jeez, and I thought when oliver Khan smiled it scared the horses--take a peek at that missing link grin from Mascherano...

We are looking sexy, this lot! High tea and crackers at the half for our lads, two crackers each! I got laid last night, and this morning. Damn fine day so far!

Oh, the match is on Thursday....damn, I thought it was a Tuesday? Anyway, hey Levi, I've been average...and pulling for the Yankees as always. Good to hear from you. I'll be more vocal once the season starts.

Is there a link for audio/radio? How are you guys?

Article isn't at all in poor taste...and it isn't sour grapes, either. Though I'd rather have Barry than Xabi Alonso, I can't find myself dissagreeing with the sentiments as a whole. I was happy to hear the rejected offer tonight when I got off work on Sky Sports News. If we retain Barry, I think half way thru the first half of the season he'll find the errs of what would have been his ways. I hope we keep him. But, if we get 18 Million for him...surely we can replace him?

wwoz, New Orleans. Log on to wwoz.org and click the live stream...damn good'ol New Orleans music.

Well that's that then...no more late-night away-report reads from Blandy for me. Glad there's always next season. Glad to know you had some beers outside, and again after the match with Paoulo...the Fullers. Can't wait to read the pre-season schedule to figure out if the Villa are coming over to this side of the pond again. Had great time in Toronto last time. Cheers, Blandy.

Honestly, living in New Orleans USA I have to say I don't agree at all. Though I know J,Cress is a top bloke and top poster and one of the reasons I log into this site, I must say I can't agree. and on a couple accounts. First, if Manure United said the same about Not-so-massive Citeh they'd be considered arrogant clearings in the woods. Everyone has thier derbies and if we were in the other boat we'd consider ourselves arrogant. Second, the ball is round and reason enough for any club to play any club. Didn't we get outfoxed by Leicester? Third, they're playing just as good football as us since the half. Fourth, I don't want to berate the midlands as if we're so far above everyone one. While I love being the pride of the midlands I don't want WestBrom/Wolves/Kiddy to ever think there's never a real chance to make it. Seriously, I'm **** done with the gloryhunting london cockney clubs. We kicked the shit out of EVerton and they've got a bigger vagina on their side than Small Heath Alliance in Arteta...I hope that bitch chips a nail. Simply can't agree. Honestly, do you think Manure Udt say the same...especially since unmassive citeh aren't fighting for piss; same for Tottenham/Arse. Even though Athletico spanked Barca and not ranking at all do you think Barca acted like it didn't matter? Because I'm in New Orleans I feel your sentiments about the crime that may go on between the respective gloryhunting hooligans and can't really feel so much like I'm the authority on the matter at all... But I do know it aint' a Derby for nothing, and tradition willing I hope it won't ever be. I hate that shit lot and I hope to always be a helping hand to relegating their crass asses out everytime they dingyly sneak themselves up to our level. I don't rate the Everton match higher than this with the filth.

If Gabby had known Ozzie was going to make that run, and played him on towards the end of the match...it would have been 2 nil. But I digress, the ref's had the extra time wrong and so we paid. Still, love the 1 1 draw. Awesome report, I want to go to Marleybone! What brand of Stoudts were there?

Have your lot checked my "closing of mardi gras"? youtube that and arnaud's crawfish boil...try and pick me out.

No sympathy to the American-Scousers. They're so bandwagon gloryhunting over here it aint funny. I have said it over and over so many times on this site and I'm going to say it again...they think choosing Liverplop is cool because the Irish Ex-Pats in USA pull for them, and us "americans" love the Irish Pubs over here...and they think Manchester United are the NYYankees and so pulling for Liverpool is close to pulling for an "underdog". No sympathy what-so-ever. Nice report I guess, I'll give it a 6.5 8) After all, there was a severe lacking of a culinary discussion and topographic details of the country I've only ever been able to visit the once :winkold:

I was beat up at work for four days preparing for this game. My restaurant is huge and we always get bought out by Allstate and the BCS, whether it's the sugar bowl or the Championship game. Last week we had a lunch buy-out in the restaurant for 200 Hawaiian fans and 200 Georgia fans, two days ago it was 200 Ohio St fans and 200 LSU fans. It was nuts. It was close to mardi gras. Thousands and thousands of Ohio St and lsu fans ran our town and I was worked to death. The final day, yesterday, I couldn't drive to work and took the streetcar. After my 11 hour shift I tried to take the streetcar back and the crowd of cars and people walking the streets after the game stopped the streetcars. I had to walk all the way home, after all the shifts and the double the day before, I had to walk home to crash and finally sleep. Today was my day off finally and I woke up at 1pm. Pretty good time was had by all though, I guess. Hey Levi, my family is from Pottstown. Up the Chargers.

Great stuff. Do you and Bicks drink the same beer or do you check out different ones for sampling? I thought it was a good match, myself. All the chumps over here were laughing because we drew "Sunderland", but I just shrugged me shoulders and admitted I was actually pleased with a point. Not before the match, mind, but after watching it I have to admit it was just that--good game. Even though I think we had more chances the storyline was told in the score and the draw was fair to me. Bright match, exciting even.

Nice one, Lancs. Shame about the rule you couldn't go in for a beer because of Aston and his less-informed mate. Can you carry a beer out of the pub in a plastic cup? Can you believe the FoxSoccerChannel that aired the game actually began the Blackburn Fullham replay instead? So that I didn't tape the match to see later because I thought they were playing Fulham Blackburn...then later on they switched it to live but I was already gone to work, no Villa Blackburn to watch until I got home. Tossers.

Lincolnshire Ale. Nothing to do with Abraham Lincoln, does it? Lincolnshire must be a place then. How about the pies...I hope you'll get some pies on the next trip. I was interested in this one because it followed that crap loss to Croatia. Thanks as always, blandy!

radio link please?

Well at least you had some pies. I often dream of those pies for when I make it over for a match again. I also need to check the beer/ale thread again to read about what your lot are drinking. And pasties, what are those? And, lastly, for some reason I thought the first half was more lively than the second? Couldn't believe we didn't have the finishing touch on any of what went on?
