Super Bowl

[andy c]

Just watching all the razzmatazz and OTT build up to tonight's game here in the UK and might stay up for the first couple of quarters... Doubt many people over the pond will be on this site over the next few hours but if you are, let's hear your predictions...

I'll go Patriots 31 Giants 21


Sorry Mr Elliott :-) Gotta support Andi's lot I'm afraid :-)

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I have it on, but I could not care any less who wins or loses. Do not watch football.... I do like to see commercials and the pre game and halftime shows though!

[Aaron L]

1-0 to Giants

Oh, this is not proper Football.

[andy c]

@azza_l LOL... And there I was thinking you know nothing about proper footie mate :-)...

[The Steve From 2010]

@azza_l @andycoleborn https://twitter.com/#!/eyebrows360/statuses/166300525535576064 That's about the depth of my contribution to this

[Richard Tyson]

Haha watching it too, well for a bit. Max (Becky's son) predicts a win for the Giants (he's a Philly fan though).
I don't get it at all really but the pre-match stuff is quite exciting!
@azza_l haha surprised you know the difference mate!

[andy c]

@eyebrows hahaha...

[andy c]

@rich57 use to play in college mate - well not properly just messing about (you were prob in the cool room listening to The Smiths lol)....

[Richard Tyson]

@eyebrows haha yeah I heard that bit and snorted in a Carry On stylee...No idea what it actually is.

[Richard Tyson]

@andycoleborn so you'll know all about "tight ends"/...

[andy c]

@rich57@eyebrows lets just say you don't want a hooker blocking your tight end (Hmmm seem to have mixed up egg chasing games...)

[andy c]

@rich57 hahaha... no... but sure it makes as much sense as silly mid off etc :-)

[richard saffold]

super bowl means it is one day closer to baseball season.

[The Steve From 2010]

@andycoleborn @rich57 :D

I've decided I'm supporting the team with the guy wearing the black visor over his eyes, because there's a guy wearing a black visor over his eyes for no apparent reason.

Also they seem to have finished. That was quick!

[andy c]

@eyebrows hahaha... I believe what's going on now is a snack break

[The Steve From 2010]

Snack breaks I approve of!

[Richard Tyson]

@eyebrows @andycoleborn ads on the BBC!, bet they've got someone in the studio with an ad zapper. I'm supporting the guys in the Newcastle shirts. Not sure which team that is...

[The Steve From 2010]

@rich57 Oh man that took me far too long to get

[Shelli]

watching it here in California , its early in the game already 9-0 New York over New England so far...still 1st quarter

[andy c]

@ssgeogirl2012 early days, early days.... :-)

@rich57 @eyebrows Bloody Gordies get everywhere...

[paula goff]

I live an hour from Indianapolis and the Super Bowl festivities have been so much fun!!

[Sheila]

Ipad. Superbowl. Only watching the commercials!

[andy c]

@espyetta @swguevin Cricky you watch the ads?? Adverts are a time to flick and watch something else over here... :-)

thankfully the game's on the the BBC which is ad free :-)

[The Steve From 2010]

@andycoleborn Nah superbowl ads are something special - remember Terry Tate?!

[Sheila]

@andycoleborn Superbowl ads are created on high budgets and highly creative. The have thier own following and this year's are so far brilliant.

[Aaron L]

@rich57 oh up yours...

[andy c]

@eyebrows Nope? But off to google....

@swguevin Oh,knew they were expensive but thought that was just in costs to show not costs to make...

[Aaron L]

[The Steve From 2010]

Terry Tate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DOm_RiklE4&feature=related

[andy c]

[Aaron L]

ah beeb or itv., knew it was of the two.

@eyebrows love triple T. Aint seen for years...so funny

[The Steve From 2010]

@azza_l It's the utter genius reference to Office Space with the TPS reports bit that kills it, for me, takes it from just a cool ad to just perfection

[Richard Tyson]

@eyebrows @azza_l @andycoleborn haha love that TT. never seen before, now all I want is the ads...

[Aaron L]

***Bump

just to keep the thread at the top

[andy c]

@azza_l hahah... inbox switched off ages back mate when I started that "whats you fav pic" thread and ended up with a sh*t load of emails...

[The Steve From 2010]

Hahaha @andycoleborn yep, on my sofa with the laptop, paying more attention to this and twitter than the game itself :D

[Richard Tyson]

@eyebrows ditto, without the twitter (haven't worked that one out yet)

[andy c]

@eyebrows haha yeah.. exactly the same tho no twitter, just here and reading news on BBC website (God that sounds really boring lol)

[The Steve From 2010]

@azza_l It's about two hours into the show but only 15 into the game or something, so you've not missed much!

[The Steve From 2010]

[Aaron L]

@andycoleborn She aint no Kim wilde though ah Andy?? Haha

Or U2 for that matter ;-)

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@andycoleborn Yeah, but mostly I am over here on the computer editing photos and talking to people online and stuff like that.

[Lisabell]

I’m from Indy and want the Giants to win. We hate the Patriots and love the Mannings so it’s a no brainer. It’s not looking like my team’s going to win. Truthfully, I’m not too into football, but since our city is hosting the game it makes it more interesting.

[Lisabell]

I stand corrected! Congrats Giants!

[Jason Daniels]

Great Game, enjoyed it down under, Budweiser beer and hot dogs!!!! Whooo ooooh!!!!

[Jeff Walker]

@lisjam1 yeah, I am so glad the Giants pulled it off... I didn't like the Patriots tainting our stadium!

[Sharon]

Was glad to see the Giants win. Tom Brady is a prick!

[Nikkers]

went to the cinema, dont give a flying fig about the football..

[Mel]

We had it on but to be honest I didn't get time to get into the game but i did enjoy watching my 3 year old dancing along with the half time entertainment :)

[Mcdougall]

Giants!! Wooooo Hoooooooo!

[Jase]

It's just not Rugby is it ;)

[Deborah DeJong]

One of my former students plays for the Giants. (#39). You can bet we were cheering him and his team on. It was a nail-biter at the end, but my team pulled through. We were proud to have a hometown boy make it to the NFL, but to have him play AND WIN the Super Bowl his rookie year was beyond imagination. It was so exciting to watch this amazing, humble, young man playing out his dreams. Below is a photo I took outside the school with some of my students holding up cards to wish him well. We are all so proud of Tyler Sash.

[danielle]

go giants! very exciting game.....i feel bad for the guy in our office that was rooting for the pats....
my boss brought in bagels and stuff today...he's a pretty big fan (season ticket holder)

[peter/zipp]

i predict win fer The FC Go Giants! with bonus splashdown

[Carole Imes]

Woo hoo, Giants!!

[Michael Elliott]

@andycoleborn

[andy c]

@michaelelliott haha... enjoy being World ... err .. I mean American Champions mate... :-)....

[Tarynn Huitt]

It was a nail biter at the end, but the Giants did it!

[Amy Evans]

@thuitt oh that is a PERFECT picture!!!

[quin]

GIANTS... FUCK YEAH!

[andy c]

@grecican I've f__king told you before.. You've f__king gotta stop f__king swearing!!!

Especially on my f__king thread :-)

[Nia]

@jasehoad Nah too much darn padding! I have even tried to see if a live game would change my opinion, not. It seems that just as they start running and it gets exciting they get stopped!

[quin]

@andycoleborn farking? freaking? funking? flunking? failking? falking? forking?

[andy c]

@grecican Knew You'd say that..... Now fooking stop :-)

[quin]

@andycoleborn i couldn't help myself... GIANTS are my fave team. got a little excited. hehe ;-)

again, sorry for the fuck bomb.

oh wait...

[andy c]

@grecican bollox... must go and unfollow.... Packers mate... now that's a proper team :-)

[quin]

@andycoleborn oooooooooooooooooooooooooh snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap

[andy c]

@grecican tho of course, football is of course played with feet, on the ground, with a ROUND ball, is not called "the beautiful game" for nohing and played by most people in the world :-)

You just play f__king rugby with f__ing crazy rules :-)

[Maria]

@andycoleborn Packers! Amen.
