The Chelsea match thread

[Happy Face 29]

Took my 6 year old nephew to his second game for this one.

 

His first was Hull and what should have been a guaranteed 3 points. Had to tell him not to be a pissy bairn when he started to moan about the defeat then. So for this one I spent the week building his resilience to a loss, making sure he was aware of the gulf in class and thae fact we had no hope whatsoever.

 

He was as bored as anyone first half and kept saying what we all think..."when's it half time?", "how long is left?"...."this is shit!!" that sort of thing. Second half when it came alive was great though. He's only 3ft so he was up and down like a yoyo standing on his chair to see what was happening every time we got within 30 yards.

 

The noise when we scored eclipsed the noise against Hull obviously, so he loved that. But the best thing is what an education those 2 games have been for a new Newcastle fan. Sums up this ridiculous club completely for him, that we would lose to Hull and then deservedly beat Chelsea.

 

Now he knows what he's in for over the next 70 odd year

Your 6 yr old nephew is already using the phrase this is shit? And they say parenting standards are dropping!

I might have inferred that one from the other 2

Just on the state of young fans, on the way out of the ground last week a kid who mustn't have been older than 11 stood in front of a car in the road and shouted 'WHAT YE GANNA DE ABOOT LIKE YE ALD CUNT?'

I was singing "You're just a shit Coloccini!" and he told me off, so no danger of owt like that from him at the moment.
