Yes, coming over for the Steelers game and of course the Villa game the day before.

The games fit in nicely with the Villa fixtures this year.

He raises a lot of good points.   I think it would leave a lot of people scratching their heads if this actually happens.

Sounds like Eurosport will be showing the Monday night games. Happy with that, much better than the non-recordable, non-downloadable red button shit from last year.

I'm planning on following the pigskin a lot more closely this year. Any recommendations for good websites for scores, schedules, news etc?

si.com now features Peter King and his MMQB columns

espn.com is my go to site for basic info. Its sister site grantland.com will have longer articles, sometimes more stat-based and sometime humourous.

nfl.com does great highlights of 5>10 mins per game

deadspin.com will keep you up to date with which players have been arrested.

Cheers. Looking forward to first sky match tonight, the deep south derby.

Have booked the Tuesday after the Monday night game between Da Bears and the Packers in November off work.

Our Offensive Line looked quite good, our Defence needs work though I think.
