MikeO Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks Mike, Shukes that's the mistake I made with my youngest he qas too young. Jake was 6 and three quarters when he truely started appreciating it and Sam is the same age as that now and he's now hooked soI reckon close to 7 is when they're ready to start going. Told the story before but Josh was eight when I first took him. Bristol City away in the league cup 2004; went to penalties after we'd been 2-0 up at half time and McFadden missed a late pen. They scored first then Steve Watson's was saved, Josh burst into tears (well it was way past his bed-time by then, he was exhausted). Luckily we turned it round and won the shoot-out 4-3. Then he fell asleep in the car on the way home and I had to carry him to bed. Great memory. Toffee_in_LA and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Im in a similar situation. I need a seat for my daughter but have been told I will have to wait until May 11th before they release any seats You should have done what I did, I just bought a ticket anywhere then requested a move straight away you get first choice before they go on general then.

Jake burst out crying at Arsenal home this season, we were 2 up and cruising he was prattling on how easy Arsenal are to beat literally saying it when they scored their first, his lip trembled when the second went in and he just burst out crying stating it was his fault for saying Arsenal were easy and if he'd kept his mouth shut we would have won Toffee_in_LA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Mrs Matts first game was watching us vs Arsenal in an Ashford hotel. I was, of course, sitting with my shirt on right in front of the TV and had a wedding party full of Arsenal fans behind me. Went the loo at 3-0 and game back at 5 - 0.... Still celebrated Sahas goal as if we'd won. C stuck with me despite that. Should've known there was something wrong with her then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/fair-play.html Could we make Europa League via fair play? I hope we don't. That's only down to having to play a few qualifying rounds first. I firmly believe we need EL football if we're to ever progress to CL football, and I don't follow that playing in the EL this season is the cause for our poor season (it's just an excuse). But those qualifying rounds we'd have to play if we qualified in this way really would harm our hopes for next season. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fair point, and a valid one, I just don't agree with it. I think having to be so intense that early on may benefit us initially, but I reckon it'd cost us later in the season. With us tending to be slow starters and good finishers, it might just mean we do it the opposite way round though and not really make much difference!

It's completely different from City's blue. they are the red devils are they not? it's just stupid. like man city having an off red kit, why would you have a kit the color of many of your enemies (chelsea, man city, everton)? i would be livid if everton came out with a red kit, i hate that color.

Totally agree, in fact I don't own anything red. The Shite did have a blue & white away kit but if we ever brought out a red kit I would join the Blue Union and take out a Scouse Jihad against BK, Umbro and the fooker who designed the kit markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had several pink/purple kits; which is as close to red as United's shirt is to City's sky-blue. We also had red "first" shirts for four years in the nineteenth century (at the time Liverpool were formed....playing in blue). Of course we'll never have a properly red shirt again but United having a blue one is completely different and their fans have no problem with it.

The university still makes "Cleveland State University Football" shirts with the back of the shirt saying "Undefeated since 1969", clever.

Shukes Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 What a dope. Don't think he really understands sports does he. It's not about where you should finish as a business but striving for better and always wanting more. That's how too teams and players succeed. You need a winning mentality to make it and fans are no different. Romey 1878 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
