Just watched the first episode of Hard Knocks on CH4 HD and got to say it really brings to the fore behind the scenes of the NFL. Great stuff !!!
Looking forward to supporting the eventual London NFL franchise in London. I will be there at Wembley when that happens, 100%. I must say though that I could never bring myself to properly support any foreign team like a lot of you on here do. And I have never felt the urge to go to any of the international series games.
I went to all the London Monarchs games at Wembley and to some after watching the Arsenal play. It felt so natural; supporting the Monarchs week in week out and that notion still seems to me so much better than watching any foreign/American NFL teams, that just doesn't appeal to me personally but each to their own I suppose.
Hard Knocks, Hard Hitting !!!

Not quite sure of your point other than a wind up to be honest.
Being a gooner you must be livid that your club sold out and lost its indentity years ago though.

"I've always been an advocate of supporting your local team ! "
==========================================
So if the Premier League decided to create a new team and its ground was closer to your house than The Emirates is........you'd stop supporting Arsenal and start following the new team, then?
By your (ridiculous) logic.....

I'm not being ridiculous or on any wind up. Just giving my personal opinion. I just don't get supporting an American team over your local British team when it comes. I don't see that as being in any way controversial at all.

Ok then, answer my question.
Would you stop supporting Arsenal overnight?

The fact is, and the point I am making is that Arsenal are a London team. I am a born an bred Londoner, therefore they are my local team. I am English and I like football, therefore I support the England football team. I could not and would not support an American team over a local London team.

If Arsenal decided to relocate outside of London then I would not support them. Why should I ?

@Gooner, whay do you have to support one over the other? Why cant you support both? Personally although i have a soft spot for Glasgow Celtic ( my local team) i am not a big football fan as it seems to be played by over acting,cheating, cry baby prima donnas. There are no local NFL teams so if you love American football, as i do, then you support an American team. You gravitate to a team for whatever reason. I ended up a Dolphins fan as they were the first team i ever saw on tv and i liked the uniform.What i can't stand is people only supporting teams because they win everything,like Man U fans who seem to come from everywhere except Manchester.

I forgot to add, I could never support any team from London as I am Scottish. If an NFL team does set up in London i would probably want them to get horsed but i would go and see them if they played the Dolphins.
