Ok, the game against Bolton was crap and I actually got up at 2.00am to watch it live here in OZ!!!
Anyway I have a question for you that covers Football in UK, Gridiron Football in USA and Aussie Rules Football in OZ.
What is the link between Newcastle United, Philadelphia Eagles and Collingwood Football club?:)

Nice try. Actually all three have bird nicknames being Eagles, Magpies and Magpies but not the answer.
I'll add a clue, look at Mark Viduka.

The nickname for all three clubs is the Magpies? just a guess. and their colours are black & white.

OK I'll give you the answer.....
Saverio Rocca played for Collingwood in Australia and now plays for Philadelphia Eagles in USA.
When he played for Collingwood, his number was 36. Collingwood are also known as the Magpies and wear Black and White stripes.
Mark Viduka plays for Newcastle in Uk. also known as the Magpies and wear Black and White stripes.
Mark Viduka also has number 36 and the reason for this is that he is a Collingwood supporter and in particular was a fan of Saverio Rocca and therefore has the same number.
Now that wasn't to far-fetched was it??:rolleyes:
