i just had a ghastly thought.

My son, aged two years and 4 months, has been kitted out in the yellow and green from day 0. Now, I live in London, so there will be temptations for him (he'll never live in Norwich I fear, his mum wouldn't go there even when I was with her. But I'm certain he'll support his daddy's team.
But, then I thought, what's the point? If I was an Inner I would believe in the following things :
1) we will never finish above 10th in the league
2) we will never try to win a cup
3) we will very rarely try to beat the big teams and should always settle for the draw
4) Be satisfied with boring footy - it keeps the board in the money and the patsy manager in the game.
5) there will be no dreams, no glory, no emotion.

So I'm thinking, why should I make him a city boy? If the last 18 months is the best we'll ever get, as pants et al keep telling us, then I'm condemning him to a shocking life of supporting a non-football team.

Then again it would make me sick to watch him supporting Manure. Vomit-inducing.

I suppose I have to hope that the ambition-free salary-taking dullards lose out, and we have a crack. Shit or bust. The least I want for my boy is the chance of some great saturdays. Quite frankly, he'll get that with teams in the lower leagues more than us.

The defensive, hope-sapping drivel that we play really f**ks me off.
