Can't think of anything more appropriate than for a boy from longsight to play in front of those fans
Really cheered me up this and great publicity for city over there - things can turn round quick in the NFL

As a Chiefs fan since the late 1960's, I actually am sympathetic to the Raiduhs, mainly because I feel sorry for their fanbase, one of the best in all of Yank pro sports. Raiduhs won't contend for at least 3 seasons, but Reggie McKenzie is a very talented GM, and will bring the franchise back, if given time. I'll definitely follow and support Menelik Watson, who is very raw, but has great athletic potential. Very nice pick for the Raiduhs, but where are the DL's for next season?
I bet you and I have the same opinion of the Broncs, eh?!

Lol - love the donkeys :)
Yeah DL is an issue but when did the raiders ever bother about addressing issues in the draft!

The Raiders aren't brilliant, put it that way. Haha! They'll probably end up with a very high draft pick next year, maybe even number 1.
Pretty hardcore fanbase though from what I've seen, I think most people from LA still support them from when they were based there.
They have been shit for years, but with the NFL, franchises can turn round quickly.
Their fans are among the worst in the States. Think Millwall....
