You're right about the local team thing. I've supported the team that were at the bottom of yhe street where I grew up for near thirty years now, even played for them when I was a younger man for a season. I still make the trip to the other side of Belfast for every home game. My wee lad supports them too but I expect to loose him to His local club in a few years, Linfield. If you're intersted in the two extremes a supporter can go to look up Wilgar Park, Belfast or Dundela FC to see the gulf between watching three or four games a season at the Bridge and every other Saturday at Wilgar. It's a special memory for kids going to the match with thier da, it's good for the relationship between a parent and the child supporting the same team

I'm the first Chelsea fan in our family, I liked the 91 kit better than the other teams in Division One so I bought it with my birthday money and started supporting them. My brothrer was a man U fan buy switched allegiances shortly after the 94 cup final, he says it's because I locked him in a cupbard and wouldn't let him out until he supported Chelsea, I don't remember that event. Both my kids are Chelsea from birth 2000 and 2002, neither one has even considered supporting another club, why would they?

14 England appearances at youth level so far. Of course that tells us next to nothing about him. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10280~58216,00.html

my daughter doesn't sing nursery rhymes, Chelsea chants only for her and the odd little diddy by Justing the Beaver, whoever the hell that is. And she delights in singing them into the faces Liverpool fans. PROBLEM: The singer of the band who are playing at my wedding is a Loserpool supporter and she knows that, there is every possibilty that she'll kick off at him.......especially because my wife to be has requested The Liquidator which I don't think they know will set my daughter off on a chant-a-thon. The problem is, I never pull her up on things like this partly because I think it's funny, but, it is a wedding..........

To be fair to the lad last season wasn't the best season to be trying to impress, alot of the squad played their worst football of their Chelsea careers last season. Fingers crossed we'll get out of the blacks running in pre-season and the early league games and see the team playing with more fluidity and confidence. That'll make it easier for the likes of Lukaku to impress and force thier way into the first team.

I'm mixed race myself. My father was a sprinter and my mother was a cross-country runner. Has anybody wondered why Anton Ferdinand? When you consider all the players Terry's played against in all the massive games, why Anton Ferdinand?

Aye, it doesn't stack up for Chelsea fans but if you're a Brighton fan.........£30 to see your team humped? I wonder what they're saying on the Brighton forums?

I suppose if you're Brighton you've got to cash in on these things a little. But even so, £30 is steep.

I agree with the poster who mentioned seeing Josh and Romeu given another chance, more so with Romeu. He impressed me in the games I seen him play. I rate him.

I thought he was one of the better French players in the second half, his first half was abismal though. I'd love to see the Malouda of 2009-2010 make a miraculous reappearance, sadly that'll not be the case. He had one of the better songs from the Mathew Harding though.

There's not much that s more brilliant than climbing trees. These days I have to wait for my kids to get stuck up in trees so I can go up and get them.
