They'll drink Brown Ale, I guarantee it. They'll probably call it 'Newcastle' but it will be Brown Ale nevertheless.

.. less than 2% own a passport. They stole rugby and called it football because they didn't want to admit they're too soft to play without a full set of armour. Many have tried to correct me on my "American" which is amusing in fairness. They start war on an impoverished desert country half way across the world and blow up our troops when we back them up, despite that fact that most of them couldn't even point to it on the map. They think their the best country in the world and are miles ahead of anyone else glorifying their attitude, which in general is poor. Simlpy believing you have a more advanced culture or being newer doe not make this so. Over half the population consider anything green to be rabbit food. They take the mick out of us for all being toffs because they are completely lead by the media. This view has also lead them to think we are soft - HA! Maybe they should learn more about toffs for a start or display that attitude in England to those who are not - The vast majority refuse to acknowledge that pumping carbon nto the air is damaging the planet. They allow a presidency to reside over their country despite it being well publicised that there was no mandate and the election was rigged. (Bush Jr) - A competition with only one country competing cannot and should not be classed as a "WORLD" league, to do so only emphasises the problem with their attitude.

In fairness though, most that go travelling and what-not tend to be more open-minded. As a nation they're like a ******ed 8 year old with a crack habbit and a rocket launcher.

They are however, our strongest allies (in terms of military force) and I respect them as such. In light of that I'm okay with them. Would I want to live there? HELL NO!
Plus they gave us crack and disco <ok> - And the ones who are bright are utterly ashamed of all the point I made being displayed by their fellow citizens. That particular brand of Americans tend to be fairly righteous, curteous and have my full support.

Also, and more importantly than any of the rant above... IT'S CALLED FOOTBALL!

Then again, maybe not <whistle>
 
Aye, I've been in Legends, right opposite empire state building on 33rd street. I spent time in New York over this NYE, we lost 3-1 vs. the scouse twerps. Passionate set of lads.

My drinking hole for the Toon games is the Richmond arms on Richmond avenue in Houston. Getting up at 8-9AM for kick off at 9-10AM was a killer on a weekend.
However, I'm spending several weeks working in the UK, before jetting off to Houston again in April. Hope to get to a few games if I ever get chance...
 
Watched the Man Utd game in Legends NYC last season, great craic with both ex-pats and American Toon supporters. Was made to feel very welcome. To be honest the vast majority of supporters we spoke to were from the West end of Newcastle.
 
I'm one of the three Americans behind that site, newcastleunited.us - Newcastle United is catching on here as an alternative to glory hunting with Man U/Arsenal. Yes, we drink Newcastle Brown Ale, as sort of a badge of belonging, but some of us (including me, I'm afraid) aren't that crazy about it as beer, especially here in my hometown of Milwaukee, the beer capital of America. I prefer something stronger and hoppier.

When Newcastle United was touring the US this summer we posted an article that got a lot of views from England about Newcastle's growing popularity in America, which you can find here, complete with a photo of our NUFC tailgate party outside the stadium in Kansas: http://www.newcastleunited.us/2011/07/newcastle-can-challenge-the-big-four-in-america.html . Also you might find of interest an interview the other founder of the site and me did a few weeks back with ESPN Soccernet, which generated lots of comments from NUFC fans around the world: http://blogs.soccernet.com/newcastleunited/archives/2011/11/more_and_more_we_are_1.php .

Cheers, everyone. I'm plotting a visit to Newcastle to see my first match in person, hopefully in May. Can't wait.
