Super Bowl XLII NY Giants v New England Patriots - Official Thread

[Beach Hut]

OK a quick heads up as the main event is not too far off and I intend to watch it all.

What time is everyone starting to drink ? Might wait till the KO.

Im supposed to be working t 5.45 tomorow morning but for some reason im going to watfch it but I am in no doubt that i'll fall asleep during the first play (like I do EVERY year!!) and then wake up about 5 mins after the game has finished!

Paddy has gone to the superbash. I am kind of jealous :/

I will follow it online. I saw that Youtube will have the ads up in seconds.

By the way you can submit your request for tickets for the Chargers vs Saints at Wembley now.

It,s much cheaper to have a TV Starry, than send Paddy all the way to the States....

He wishes! He is at the official NFL UK party, it's in Battersea I think. I wouldn't relent on the no TV thing so he had to go out.

Ah.....thought itwas odd, that he would miss the footie yesterday.........least said about that the better though...!

im starting to drink now, i have to drink quite a lot to make this egg and spoon race game look good!

Eh, I think people forget where we were in August. A few bad results doesn't a bad season make. No chance of him missing Leeds, he dashed off on Friday night took in what was meant to be a game of football, the Rhinos/Hull last night and now the Superbowl. He might return home tomorrow if I'm lucky.

Giants to win tonight I hope.

Tickets were going for next to nothing on eBay on Friday. Nearly bought some but the logistics for getting there, the hotel, getting back and then work at some point seemed to be getting complicated so I didn't bother. Looks a half-decent crack though.

Tom Petty.

Not going to come close to the McCartney performance of a few years back really is it!

We went a couples of years ago and it was a good fun, Vernon Kay was hosting it and for once I found him slightly amusing. I have no idea who/what is on at it this year. It's supposed to be the biggest superbowl party outside of the actual game this year.

Anyway, you have a TV for your Wii. It can't be beyond you to re-wire it up to your aerial. Or stick a coat hanger in the back.

 

[Starry]

It's not beyond me, but I am not a hypocrite - I ditched the TV with good reason, not to switch it back on as and when it suits me!

It's on the radio and the online thingy - that will do me fine.
