Talking about dads, anyone on here with kids who decided to support different teams to the one you support?
Always said to my missus I wouldn't force Arsenal (or France) on our small fella (only thing i said is that he can forget about a trip to EuroDisney if he chooses Spuds)...
I'd say about 2/3 of the kids in his class/school support Liverpool, the rest are mainly Arsenal or City, the ones that do not wear PL club gear are either just GAA heads or United fans whose (sensible) parents are trying to protect them from being laughed at.
Mine's shaping to be a Gooner, will try to take him to his first game next season, the first time he saw Mikel on TV he asked me 'Papa, who's that amazing looking man? it's Mikel El Tactician, son, WOW he looks like He-Man with the brains of Einstein and Descartes, the tactical understanding of prime Jose, the attacking flair of prime Arsene and the charisma of Sir Alex, I can see he's at the heart of a total reboot of this football club and i'm fairly certain this young and exciting squad has an unbelievably bright future, i feel like they'll go on and dominate Europe for decades, you're not wrong, son, if i were you i'd also jump on the bandwagon'.
