Im an Eagles Fan who hasnt been a bad team to support, bit of a rollercoaster, but anyway id also suggest following the Jags. They are an exiting team to watch atm with a great young offensive who will only get better (but a shit D to improve on with draft and free agents). They look to be on the up. And they play in London every year and theres always talk about them moving here, so if you get more into it, you can go watch your team. Plus the main 2 WRs are both called Allen so its easy to remember. Oh and check pics of the QB Blake Bortles, then look at what year he was born. My GF now supports the Jags for the above reasons and we are going to the game this year. Other than that, L.A Rams? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cards as i want Fitz to get a ring, but if New England were to win it would further enhance the legacy of Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning....blah blah blah you know what im saying!

He is committed to the city for the long haul. Khan paid for the worlds largest score board, a swimming pool behind the goal! and a new state of the art training ground with an ampitheatre is about to undergo construction. On the side he is trying to develop the port area too. He loves Jacksonville and the Jaguars fans love him . They arent moving anytime soon.

I've actually grown to not hate Peyton, but I'd rather he not equal Eli's ring total. Any of the other 3 I'm OK with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Just like Villa eventually had to win a home game (v Palace), I think Brady's time at Mile High will be this weekend. Sorry Broncos boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love a team to move/start here. I really hate the way 2 teams will play in London, and their isnt really a home team. Worse bit is when everyone comes in their Brady / Manning (x2) / Brees or other players/teams jersey. Its like Villa Playing Everton in the US and everyone wearing Man U/Liverpool/Cheslea/Man city shirts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Broncos boys I agree. If we're to win then Manning will have to put in a performance unlike anything he has done this season, and I can't see that happening. The only hope is that the occasion will bring one out of him, what with it being his last rodeo. Although it's not like he's known for turning up for the big occasions either. Nope, if I was putting money on it then I'd be backing the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fans would have to be taught how to cheer on 3rd downs etc. A British NFL game is simply not the same thing. Even if that was to change with an actual franchise, it would no doubt take years.

Brumerican Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 1 hour ago, BOF said: Yeah possibly. Not saying it would definitely be the case but us Europeans generally like a sing song at the stadium . Over there it's just a general collective shout of "DEEEE ----FENSE" on 3rd downs . Imagine 80,000 at Wembley singing "Who the f*** are Kansas City" live on the telly !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
