Never been a huge fan but found myself watching it quite a bit last season and usually watch the Super Bowl. Gonna get into it this year and have decided to follow the Seahawks.

Love it, great sport, i know some people don't but into the time scale it takes, but its a sport that takes so much athletisism and metal toughness. I couldnt ever remember the playbook the way they do.

First super Bowl i watched featured the patriots and because they had England in the name i followed them. Going to the international series to watch them vs the rams, looking forward to seeing Brady.

Anyone play fatansy football? something ive had a look at but they take it very serious on some sites lol

I love it. I follow Tampa Bay. Only because my gran and grandad lived out there for 11 years and I used to go every other year.

Didn't get chance to see them at Wembley unfortunatley and doubt I will be going back to Florida anytime soon.

when i watched 49ers vs broncos 2 year ago at wembley it was amazing,everyone in high spirits and all looking forward to the game,loved it when the scores from other games were being broadcast and most of the stadium erupted with cheers when the cowboys were losing :D :D

if you've never been i would definitely recommend you get to a game if possible,a great day out all round

forgot to add when you go to wembley there will be seperate stalls that focus just on patriots merchandise so should be able to pick from a big selection of jerseys
