What day is it on? I didnt get to see last years which was all about the Dolphins. Disappointing as been a long suffering fan of theirs since the eighties.
Will be interesting if we get a proper British franchise but as i have loved the fins for so long i could never support another team never mind a London based one.Would be great to go to a proper NFL Dolphins game in London though.
I watched it Sunday 07.30 on CH4 HD, I don't know if it was the first showing though
Nowt wrong with having a team to back, makes the whole thing a lot more interesting.
Personally i lived in Cincinnati so they are my team.
If there ever is ( and it's a big "if" an NFL franchise based in London, I'd hate them even more than I hate the Cowgirls.
And I properly hate the Cowgirls........
I just cannot see it ever happening to be honest, interesting concept but i don't think it would be welcomed by many.
What are the Wembley game/games this year?

Jesus, four years of the Jaguars, ouch!!!!
Good that the 49ers are going though.
To be brutally honest, I think most of you guy's on here will end up sounding and seeming like complete dinosaurs. I just cannot see how supporting any foreign team when you have a team of your own makes any sense at all. I just cannot get my head around that at all. I've always been an advocate of supporting your local team !
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.

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 ?
Not wasting any more time on this.
Bye......
@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.
