The Logan's Run reference is quite a beauty, made me laugh this morning. If you aren't at least over 40 (and even then), you will have to research. Michael York's finest work though tbh.
Thank you so much for the advice. I'm going to try the Evertonia route. The risk is i travel a lot for work and may not be around when tickets go on sale and I'm bringing my 11 year old daughter so would want the seats together.
I can get tickets at face value to the North London derby. May do...
Coming to UK for the derby with my daughter. Any thoughts on tickets? Thomas Cooke looks to be the best right now, though salty at $500 (or around £370). Stub hub looks to be highway robbery, any chance they come down closer to game time? Thanks for any feedback.
Did this exact trip last Feb. train from Euston was reasonable and took about two hours, book as far in advance as possible to get good rates on the National Rail website. Stayed at Hilton near Baltic Fleet (my favorite pub by far). See the Docklands and shopping nearby. Ask about navigating the...
This. Stayed at the Hampton for my first game last Feb and enjoyed the hotel immensely. Enjoyed the Baltic Fleet even more. We just don't have places with that kind of character and history in the States.
NBC Sports has been a god send. Commentators and analysts are fair and balanced (total dig on Fox News for those here in the states). I don't have the extra time channels on Dish, but I can stream the games on iPad.
Earlier comment about needing a British commentator probably isn't far off...
Aston Villa game this year. Went with a friend of mine from the States. He is a City fan, worked on some players back home about ten years as he is an orthopedic doctor. Think the atmosphere won him over as he said if he lived here he would have season tickets.
While the crowd was somewhat...
I love the Boss Hogg reference, going old school. I bet 1 in 4 get the reference.
Since we are going old school anyone else think of Benny Hill when Barkley made his scoring run.
Great feeling this win and just what the doctor ordered.
It amazes me the lack of patriotism regarding the English national team.
While I would rather see Everton win the FA cup over USA World Cup win, it wasn't an easy decision and I will be over the moon if US team even makes it out of the group stage.
I think it comes down to expectations...
Made the trip from the USA this year for the first time. Aston Villa game was great but cold. Everything about the trip was magical. St Luke's, the fan zone, family friendly atmosphere (quite a different experience than White Hart Lane) and the overall charm of the stadium and city just can't...
