Most of the time you have to watch Chelsea though.
Renford Rejects is better.

Breaking bad and six feet under are well worth checking out too though.

Unfortunately the series is only available on DVD.
edit: regarding the BluRay's, no idea about Netflix or the situation in the UK.
Netflix is streaming-only in the UK.
BUT. you can change it so you get the US selection which has FNL.
It's on Netflix
(I think.)
Lovefilm peasant here. Debating the switch tho, I never have time to play the games they send me.

All region 1 imports for FNL on DVD and its from places like eBay and the Play/Amazon marketplaces which I'm not keen on :/
Will watch it if I get Netflix tho.

Well I started Deadwood tonight so
Also, why don't you guys like American football? I don't really care but it seems silly to me to cast out a sport because it shares a name with another sport

Deadwood is fucking incredible.
And to answer your second question I don't watch a lot of sports I don't understand haha. Rugby, American football, cricket...

I've never watched it
but you're right, I think it's silly to dismiss the sport. Other than that, it's played by fat, annoying and loud Americans Awesome Animals

They're fucking strong though and now a days they really aren't as fat as they once were.I've never watched it

Haha that was a stereotypical joke. I'm sorry for insulting your fellow Americans

I love American Football, it's a bit hard to follow here in Germany but i watched at least 10 of the last 12 or 13 Super Bowls. After watching the Rams - Titans Super Bowl in 99 (?) i started following the Titans but it isnt really that much fun to follow a small market team. Over the years i started to adopt the Giants as my second team (became a fan of Eli after the 2004 draft) but most of the time i'm simply rooting for a good game!

Don't hate it, just bores me.
FNL is in Sky Go, £1.50 an ep tho, to rent! Got Mad Men included with my package tho, stuck that on.

I understand your reasoning for not getting to FNL because of the difficulty to view it but it really is worth your time.

Of course.
How come?
Chiello is out -> Italy are fucked. It's as simple as that.
TurkeyGAF, what can you tell me about this James Troisi from Kayserispor? We bought him for 1,5M€.

Because I am FootballFan.
I don't hate American Football, just doesn't seem very interesting to me. Watching the superbowl and seeing 3 seconds of play(literally) then cutting to a break or time-out I find is just ridiculous. It's mostly replays, cheerleaders, statistics, standing and commercials, those 3 seconds of action in between aren't nearly good enough to bother with all of that (imo).

Well only watched a full match like a couple of times, but been bored to death every time. Doesn't help that it's usually played in the middle of the night here.
Same here, ended up following the Patriots. Coverage is pretty good in the UK, even 'free to air' for one match a week.
I like the spectacle of it, along with some of the great passes and runs.
Also:
Wotcha, lads.
Congrats to Roy. StokEngland lives to fight another day! I still believe a team will get lucky against Spain, but I still have Germany as favs.
Hmmm...don't mind him. Would have liked Moyes, to be honest. But let's see how it goes...
Oh, and a take a bow, Zlatan. Great stuff. :O
* Thanks to Sunli, of course. *

Hixx, as a connoisseur of television I'd advise you to watch Mad Men; it's a fucking sublime show, up there with the likes of The Wire and the Sopranos. As an aside, once you're done with that, watch Friday Night Lights. Sure, it's cheesy, and yes, it's about American Football, but it's a really well made show with highly likeable characters and an emotionally stirring plot.
I've just come in from dancing on a table in a club, singing England songs and as a result 'arrivederci it's one on one', whilst wrapped in the flag of St George. I also tweeted Jeff in the club. Strange, strange night. Happy we're through. Gerrard put in yet another captains performance; honestly if Pirlo hadn't been so breathtaking I would've tipped Gerrard for player of the tournament so far.

You've been to a club? Your grammar is far to clean, get back out there and only come back when you're sufficiently drunk enough to make a tit out of yourself!

Yeah, I agree with this. Just hope he has learned from his mistakes at Chelsea.
Nah, I'm not one of those who gets ridiculously incoherent after a drink, and the room's spinning slightly now, to put things into perspective. Just continued drinking after the match with my mates and we got a taxi into town to hit a few pubs. Ended up getting free entry into a club that included a shot with the first drink. England tunes started pumping out so we joined in the chorus. There was a transexual on the dancefloor, which was quite a tragic site; people kept moving away from her and just generally laughing in her direction, but she laughed it off and continued to dance.
Haha, just seen the Rooney interview on the beeb where he said he'd used Carroll's hair product before the game.
I'm sure you're very happy if AVB joins Spurs. I've gone from being a staunch believer pre-Chelsea, to now needing convincing once again from the man considered the next 'special one'.

To be fair, he did say himself he was "the shit one". I think he fully lived up to it.
what is this? why you not talking about ball crossing line? or offsides?
i´m disappointed with football gaf!
Are you new here? We talk about music, tv, movies, women and jaws. Not much football. Go to the euro 2012 thread for that.
That´s just plain racist...
But ill oblige and take you upon your offer to talk about Jaws, i´m somewhat of an expert on the topic and i live in a shark infested island (they don´t actually infest the island proper being fish and all)

So it's not as bad as first thought. Still shite though. Just like last years blue third kit, which was a disgrace.
That's not bad at all. I think our 3rd kit is worse tbh.
Still like the futuristic 2nd kit the best though.
Great player. Hard working and is skilled. Overlooked by the Socceroos for no apparent reason.
Which team bought him??

His goal at around 50 seconds mark is pretty great.
Shame if he is leaving Turkish League. I was hoping one of the big 3 would have picked him up.
