Yes, my fellow rowdy Irish 9er fans will bring the noise to Wembley!

Those bloody wankers are not going appreciate our niners.

Does this mean we have to go back to Philly? I would have rather played Philly in Wembley. This a home game correct? Thank you Goodell for making us the first non East Coast team to have to go to London.

no. we get Philly at Candlestick this year.

You know he's gonna blitz the s**t out of Alex Smith.

He might even tell his players to go after that repaired shoulder.

Yeah...sounds like something that Nolan would do.

I don't think either team should lose the home game.

1) Neither team wears a similar color. Orange is not the same as Cherry Red. Unless you're color blind anyway. Only the whites come close, and even then you'd have to be stupid to confuse the two.

2) The games could have been aligned to be away games on their schedules. But of course the NFL which never plans ahead** doesn't think proactively.

3) It's not fair to the owners or the fans that support the teams. I have no problems with the NFL wanting to expand their market but it should not be at the expense of the market they ALREADY have.

Goodell is an idiot, so far as I have been concerned for awhile now. We can only hope that neither plane goes down over the Atlantic.

And both teams should have a 2nd Bye week to adjust to the time differential. Insane that this kind of game can't be played the first game or the last game of the season. I like the 1st game actually. That way the teams are relatively fresh enough to bounce back with little difficulty.

But neither team that plays in what is CLEARLY an Away venue, should lose the Home game. Freakin Goodell the jaggoff.

Got to love the fans who are pissed that they are losing a home game. If you were a 9er fan living in England you wouldn't be complaining. It's a costly trip for them to come over here to see the 9ers play. I can understand from a season ticket holders perspective that they are losing a game, but it's only 1 game, not an annual thing.

FWIW I'm happy for you guys over in England (and Europe). Hope you come out in droves for the game and enjoy it!

I'm mad cause Goodell is an idiot that cannot think ahead. He's a knee jerk reactionary. I hate knee jerk reactionaries.

Your right, my bad. Either way it sucks because we lose a home game.

They should make a better team like the Colts go over there.
