A conversion


Recommended Posts

My youngest, not particularly interested in football, but a United fan thanks to the influence of his mother has now converted. A stroke of genius on my part. He is completely Star Wars obsessed and I was watching Coach Carter the other day when I remembered that Samuel L Jackson is a Liverpool fan, so i told him.

 

"Mace Windu is a Liverpool fan? I support Liverpool too."

 

Easy.

 

The other one, a dvout football obsessed crouchamaniac liverpool fan commented after the Chelsea match "Why do they look so sad. It's not like they would have won in the final or anything."

Haha - awesome work. Star Wars always comes good.

 

I've got the one at the moment, she knows what Football is but is too young to understand teams (she's 2) - as long as she has an interest in football I'll be delighted but hopefully the strong Liverpool interest in the family will sway her from the likes of Sheffield Utd, Manks and Chelski!

On a similar theme, we were in town this morning and heading back to the car park, when my five year old asks if he could go into the club shop. Now usually I'm horrified when he relates to a brand and knows everything about it, but I was proud of his knowledge today. He recognised the photos of (and I quote): "Carra - he's your favourite, isn't he dad?. Deadly Dirk. He's big, he's Red, his feet stick out of bed, Peter Crouch. Peter Crouch. Steven Gerrard - we don't mind him now, do we dad? Good, because he's my favourite. There's Xabi Alonso. Mum loves him."

 

It was a great moment.

That's almost a disqualification, Star Wars is the original trilogy...

 

But since he came to the light side of the force he is excused....,

 

But I must say you are doing a poor job as a parent if he like the prequels:whistle:

I don't mind the prequels. Obviously they aren't a patch on the original films, but I'd rather he watched them than fucking Pokemon or some such shite. His favourite character in the six films is Han Solo, so it isn't all bad.

Mrs RiS was in the middle of celebrating the title when he dropped the bombshell. Extra sweet.

 

Brilliant stuff,

 

I converted my nephew a few years back much to the annoyance of my bitter blue brother,

 

but the timing here just excells, well done RiS:thumbup:

Mrs RiS protested saying "we have just won the title" and he just looked at her like she was mental. "They don't have a jedi".
