Big game in the USA

[jimmythebulldog]

So I'm dressed in my football gear on the way to my usual Sunday game yesterday in New York - my team is shit by the way and we never win.

I'm wearing shorts, flip flops and my Town centenary home shirt - this yank and all his mates dressed in American Football come up to me and say is there a big game on or something?

I say yes - Huddersfield are top of the league and playing Barcelona tonight - this yank with a shaved head and a tattoo on his arm that says death to everyone says "awesome dude, I'm a massive Barcelona fan and I'm watching that game later today too"

His mates all start agreeing - just to clarify that I'm not mental and these blokes are a bunch of clueless knobs I asked them if they saw the Huddersfield v Spain game last week, one said he had. So I do the fist on fist handshake that is all the rage and go on my way to another Sunday hammering but at least laughing for once.

So when you're all complaining about the game, the player or the manager - just be glad you have someone to talk to about football!

Cause all I do is talk to my English Bulldog Jimmy

Jimmy, Im not going to lie to you but that has me crippled laughing in my chair even at this early hour =)

Just out of curiosity - what was the score in the Spain game

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I tell 'em we're in League 1. They're pretty impressed ... then I throw in a quick "we only lost 2-1 to Arsenal this season". Sometimes, I say "THE Arsenal" to nodding sympathetic heads.

Unlike you, I haven't quite resorted to fibbing just yet.

Now, here is just another possibility:

Yanks lads talking after the game -- "yo dude, did you get that Brit, totally delusional like, thinks his dinky little team Huddersfield is Chelsea and are playing Barcelona to

Now, here is just another possibile angle:

Yanks talking after the game -- "yo dude, did you get that Brit, totally delusional like, thinks his local team Huddersfield is Chelsea and are playing Barcelona tonight. Must be something in the air over there in Yorkshire, I met a L**ds supporter last year and he thinks that L**ds were champions of Europe for Gods sake. Oh well, guess we have to humor them, bless"

;D

When we were in the states we got so sick up of saying that no we weren't from Austrailia that we just started saying we were and lived in a small town called todgerlonga. That was 'awesome' as well.

Americans.........................something just malfunctioned in the creation of these gullable bleached teeth morons.
I work for an American company and when they visit I also tell them phantom stories and they believe all of it without question.
No football, no real ale, disneyWorld, a rocket pad and 10 foot cheesburgers............gone large. Thank god i'm English.
UTT

I wonder how long one of those jumbotrons would last at Town - all they do here is grin like fuck, their hands and shove their big fat heads in front of it.

I took my wife to the LA Galaxy Beckham v NY Red Bulls game last year, about 65,000 there when usually its around 20,000.

Beckham is just about to take one of his (dont care they are!) magical free kicks - you dont get to see it every day right - and the man hasnt got long left on a pitch so its magical to me - and the jumbotron bloke with the camera on his shoulder comes swaggering along down the aisle next to me, never seen mayhem like it.

Not only do I miss the free kick due to the madness, some fat yank spills a beer (that's right a beer at 'soccer') on my foot and another drops his ketchup and mustard covered hot dog on my wife - i look at the guy who has his 8 year old daughter with him who is cowering crying in her chair - call him a wanker and his response when i tell him he just made me miss a beckham free kick is.....

'Sorry dude, but it was the jumbotron right'
