Kin hell. Hope we win mate! Bon voyage!

Bet365 said they would show it live but after I registered they said I couldn't watch it as I am in USA... I tried First Row on my iphone (I was at work) and it started doing all kinds of weird :censored: after I clicked on "play" so I stopped everything and turned my phone off! Hopefully no damage was done but who knows?

Cos I'm listening on LP mate! The jinx is back!

Put yer tongue back in mate!

Don't think it's on any mate. Fox Soccer Channel has gone - that was always good for any match on Sky. Tried to find a live streaming site but no joy. Listening to Latics Players instead....

They pulled the plug "for contractual reasons"... So much for the "world wide" web! LaticsPlayer then...

Forgot Ritchie managed us...

Andy Ritchie on now....

They're replaying goals from Manure's defeats. Not bad for Latics fans! :-)

THANKS A LOT! Got it on now while working.

Agree. Saw him in Seattle a few years ago at a speaking/book signing event. Didn't know he became American 7 weeks ago.

Can you please send the link to me? Thanks. Mart

Just read the article - a very good read. College (American) Football is huge here in Washington state. A lot of people prefer it over NFL (as mentioned in the article). When they play their local derby UW v. Washington State University (WSU) a lot of people wear there colours to work on the Friday before the match. I've been to a couple of games at the University of Washington (UW) with attendances of over 70,000 in their own stadium. When the Seattle Seahawks were having a new stadium built they used the UW stadium as a temporary home. The colleges have their own basketball, baseball and football teams but none of those college sports are as popular as American football.

If you have time I would try and get to an MLS match (LA Galaxy or San Jose Earthquakes) just for the experience of it. It's not great but soooo different to being at BP!

I'm getting to this late and don't want to go through all the pages but surely somebody has pointed out that you can switch auto correct off...?

If you want to read about stupid Americans and their obsession with guns, life in the Pacific NW, watching the Seattle Sounders MLS team, oh and Latics of course, etc I'd follow me @martjs... :-) edit to add Latics

I wasn't there (Dad thought I was too young to go then) but remember it being shown on Match Of The Day! Can't imagine that these Prem League obsessed days...

There were some impressive flags/banners at the recent MLS match between Seattle Sounders v. Portland Timbers... (first time since Portland Timbers became an MLS team) Well rehearsed etc. but pretty impressive. Must've taken ages to make all them! Here's a video of it My link

Yes, Toronto play in the MLS. Vancouver Whitecaps joined this season as well. It's a bit like Major League Baseball - it has Canadian teams in it and that's why they call the final the World Series...

Being a Seattle Sounders fan, that is great news!

Spot on. I always said George Bush's middle name should have been "Orwell". I wonder who read "1984" to him...

He was probably part of one our sleeper cells and didn't want to be identified... We're all over the US. I took my Oldham flag to the England-US match in Chicago in 2005 (I think). I got some friendly banter from City fans as that was the year we beat them in the FA Cup.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I watched most of it before having to go back to work and I paid nowt, which was a bonus!

Thanks prozac. I remember you helped me last time with this! FA Cup at home to Leeds... IIRC Thanks again!

For some reason tonight's match isn't on the US sports channels (unless anyone can tell me otherwise)... If anyone knows of a streaming web site a PM would be appreciated. Cheers, Mart
