  • Question for the Dad's on here:

    Should your kids support your team or should they be encouraged to support their local team?

  • Teh Rulez.
    I had this exact conversation with Jack the other day. He's 4 now and is starting to show an interest in football so I went to buy him one of those small balls from JD Sport.
    I was trying to chose between an Arsenal or Liverpool one according to Teh Rulez so I opted for the Arsenal one on account that their supporters have only suffered about 10 years of misery whereas it's been about 25 for us. Also, there is the odd chance I can take him to a game if he supports the Arsenal. Nor will he have to endure the plastic accusations.
    I got home and gave it to him.
    "Are Arsenal good daddy?"
    "Um no not really"
    "Who do you support?"
    "Liverpool"
    "Are they good?"
    "Sometimes"
    "Who are good?"
    "That's not the point, you have a choice between Arsenal or Liverpool"
    "What about Manchester United, I like them"
    "What?!!!"
    "Yes I heard them on the radio, I like them"
    "Nooooooo"
    I'm doing some cognitive therapy on his at the moment
