That reminds me Ski, a lad called Alex Hodson, who plays for Wolverines youth might be playing for us after Christmas, any idea if he's any good.



Got a lot of players who all play BUAFL Div 2 Central, already have guys from Chester, Shropshire, Staffs and Sheffield.

I'll talk to JV or Bloomers, see what he says. You gonna come up to Blackburn when you're back from Uni? (He says, on the probably misguided assumption you're from Wigan).

Nope, as I live in Chesterfield.

Looking at training with Nottingham, Doncaster or Sheffield in the summer. One of the first 2 would be better as they're much better teams, though i'd get more playing time with Sheffield, and a chance to hit my own head coach.

What absolute garbage games on Thursday and Saturday. Could they not have been changed with this flexi-system or whatever it is??

Thursday I would doubt because its not just a few hours difference its 3 days and its too short notice for fans and suchlike and lets be honest they are not going to change the Christmas day game are they!!

So to answer your question, not a chance

It`s their last home game of the season anyway I think, so they were never going to rush to get their own stadium fixed in time(if it was possible anyway). If theres no season next year theres even less chance they will fix the roof because they need a new stadium with the lease on the metrodome ending at the end of 2011.

Los Angeles Vikings are getting closer by the day

I'll see what this Redzone is like actually.

Flynn is being prepared to start in NE. Rodgers doesn't even have shot at practice until Saturday.

I think we are in for a humping, which is a shame given this should have been a real statement game for us.

Been away a bit, Is Rodgers just done for the pats game or further down the line? Might aswell chuck my money away if hes gone.

He isn't guaranteed to miss this week. He COULD play.

We are just preparing Flynn and the earliest Rodgers will practice is Saturday (he hasn't even been at meetings).

I personally think Rodgers will play just because it is such a vital game although I can't see us winning.

He wont play.
If we get our offense going on sunday then our defense might actually hold against Jennings et al.

That's why it makes sense to give him another week. The way Brady is playing you may not have a chance anyway. Rely on the Eagles beating us then you beating us and the Bears which may sneak you a wildcard. I doubt we do much now as Eli has nobody to throw to. 5 wideout's on IR and Manningham doubtful.

Nicks is back isn't he??

Yeah. WR number 2 is Derek Hagan at the moment, followed by Michael Clayton and Devin Thomas.

Smith
Barden
Cruz
Hixon

on IR

Manningham Doubtful.

Another Patriots bandwaggoner comes out of the woodwork

Not really. If he is passed clear to play then i'm fairly confident that he will. It is a must win game for us.

If we lose we then have to win out and rely on a combination of Giants/Eagles/Bears who play each other at some point beating each other to even give us a shot of making the play-offs.

I doubt we'll win but Rodgers gives us the best shot, practice or not.

Should be a great game if Rodgers does play,I have never seen Flynn play but hes obviously not as good as Rodgers so it will affect the result more than likely.

Im just glad its on Channel 4 because my internet connection is terrible at the moment and it makes streaming games a chore, Im thinking of getting ESPN for the last few weeks of the season so I dont miss MNF for the same reason.

Hopefully the Patsies are peaking too soon again and we can get a more likeable team in the superbowl


Though the way my Jets have performed/acted/behaved I think more people would want the Patsies to get there than us!

Ande was the original patriots fan on here.

How in all hell have we managed to get to 11-2?



We're about as far away from an 11-2 team as it's possible to get, particularly defensively, yet somehow we keep managing to find ways to post narrow wins.

Just a joke me old china hence the



My brothers getting on my nerves though, he got me into watching the nfl around 1998 but has only watched 2 games since the 07 superbowl and probably only 10 games since 2001

he`s constantly asking me how we are doing, I may tell him we are out of the playoffs so I can watch them in peace, explaining rules to someone that hasn`t a clue is no fun

Don't think that you can just give up on a game like that regarding packers/pats, although Brady is playing amazing at the minute. If hes medically ok and he feels good to go, play him, if not don't simple as. Hoping Minnesota can get there act together regarding the bears match too.

Tavaris Jackson placed on IR, if Favre isnt ready to go(or even if he is) they are not looking too good, then again if its snowing again the Bears may not bother turning up like last week.

I think Patrick Ramsey is the starter if Favre is injured still



Just got myself ESPN for the rest of the Monday Night Football games too, should have done it at the start of the year but never thought about it D`OH

C'MON MAN!!
