    Meh, not your fault, tbh, I really could (and probably should) have left earlier, but i felt like a lazy ass. :p

    LOL Don't mention it again, when that Brummie guy turned around to heckle at John, I practically soiled myself. All part of the fun i guess!

    No, no, no, its not the World Rivalry section its the soap opra section. If i was in the fight i would have used my favorite:

    "Yo mama is sooo old that she gangbanged with the Hebrews."

    That would have stepped it up to a junior high plateau. :D

    Just back from the Megawhore, it was alright but we were hesitant to get anything with "Vodafone" on it since the sponsor changes next year. Which actually makes things better since it allowed us to avoid buying Nike gear.

    But anyways, the highlight was definitely our trip to Red Star Sports (Red Legends). Great guys there, the proprietor Angelo and his buddy Nick as well. Talked all sorts of football including about Gl*zer, soccer in America, where the club is going, how the club and supporters don't always get along, and all sorts of United history including the Red Army, some of the great matches they remember, away supporters, and their experiences avoiding Arsenal fans at Highbury after travelling to an Arsenal 2-6 United result some years ago. :D

    Really class guys, and apparently friends with Pete Holland who is chairman of MUSCUSA. I picked up some badges (pins) and a couple fanzines, while Johno got a blue Euro Cup final "Best" shirt (they didn't have my size, but I'll try the website). We'll post some pics when we get the chance.

    Well, London is always an amazing city. I think the saying goes, "when you're tired of London, you're tired of life", and that I can understand. There is an incredible amount of diversity there, and something for everyone. It's not tough to lose yourself there just wandering the streets and finding something.

    I think thats why so many stars are making their permanent homes in London. Everyone loves london. The only thing that I dont get is why English people have sooo many great beers to chose from yet they lovvvee Budweiser? :confused:

    Yeah it was weird that before the Brum match, we were drinking at the hotel and saw folks drinking stuff like Budweiser and Corona. Guess people like their alcohol cheap.

    They aren't cheap.

    Cheap is stuff like Fosters, Carling and Carlsberg.

    Other than Leffe, Duvel etc Bud and Corona are pretty expensive.

    Never heard of it.

    BTW the reason people drink Bud so much is that it's heavily advertised, same as Carling.

    Amen, Carling was my favorite when I was there. I plan on going back this summer for a month. Any suggestions on great stuff to see that I probably didnt see the first time(besides normal tourist stuff like big ben, etc.)?

    Really, I saw more advertisements for Carlsberg and even Stella than I did for Carling?

    Review: This is the ultimate drinking beer!! If you want a smooth creamy pint that tastes superb then this is the beer for you, next to no bubbles so no gas or bloated feeling.
    You will love this beer, try it today.

    Review: The Carling Premier smooth drinking Lager is the best ever lager i have EVER come across beating all others in its league by miles, its smooth and slightly creamy flow make for a great taste and easy on the tastebuds, with fewer bubles than most i can drink this till the cows come home, as the lack of increased gass makes for a less swelled stomach of air allowing replacement of a pure cold glass of CARLING PREMIER. one draw bak is iths cheaper in the supermarkets at 12 cans of 500ml for £10

    I spose they all campaigns of massive advertising and then slower periods.

    Carling and Carlsberg are probably the biggest advertisers on average.

    There have been hardly an Bud adverts on for quite a while.
