"We liked a couple of those receivers up there, but we didn't feel there was a guy that was going to come in and make more of a contribution than a linebacker." (Dave Wannstedt on why he chose Eddie Moore over Anquan Boldin in)

The AGM was held today, so look out for the President's Address AGM Special in the coming days.
As you may have heard this evening, it has been announced that there will be NO 2nd NFL game in London this year.
In a statement, the NFL said today:- "Playing one game in the UK is a significant investment. Playing a second game is an even bigger investment.
"As we considered this, the uncertainty related to the ongoing CBA discussions linked to the current global economic climate were critical factors in our decision not to play a second game in the UK.
"Our ambition to bring a second game to the UK is as strong as ever.
"Once the current uncertainty is resolved, we will be in a strong position to bring multiple games to our UK fanbase."
It's that time of year once again when we will be holding our AGM on Sunday, 24th January at the Water's Edge (start time to be confirmed).
As ever, we welcome any member's feedback, good or bad, ideas, suggestions or any other opinions regarding the running of your fan club. You can either email us on the usual email address, or leave any feedback in the Talking Points section, here on the web site.
As a reminder, your committee is as follows:- Brian Tennent - Chairman Eddie Irwin - President David Wilson - Treasurer Carla Ball - Club & Membership Secretary Bob Ball - Media & Communications
Members are welcome to attend, all we ask is that you confirm whether or not you will be there.
A further reminder will go out next week, and there will be a special AGM President's Address to follow the meeting.

"I am flattered beyond words to be the President of Dolfan UK. I have witnessed, first hand, on many occasions, the incredible enthusiasm and passion of the club. We’ve suffered through some tough times recently but I am abundantly confident under Parcells and Ireland and Sparano, we’re on our way back.
We will have our day and when that day comes I look forward to hoisting a few pints in celebration with the brotherhood across the pond!"
