Being Blues

I'm Blues, I am. And proud of it.

Last Saturday at Bolton was what being a Blues fan is all about. The dramatic way we avoided relegation, in injury time of the last game of the season led to an outpouring of emotions, the likes of which haven't been seen since we battered Arsenal in the Cup Final.

The sight of Paul Caddis, rising like a salmon, to power the ball into the Bolton net started a party that the inhabitants of that particular grim Northern town could only watch in awe. I realise that it's not that hard to impress somebody from Bolton, but it was pretty spectacular.

The shit we've had to put up with on the pitch this season was forgotten (for a day or two) as we basked in the glory of staying up at the expense of the footballing powerhouse that is Doncaster Rovers. On goal difference. What a day.

Being Blues can be a curse aswell as a blessing. You never know what's going to happen. They put us through months of hell and then a day like last Saturday comes along. Imagine being a boring, safe mid-table side? Or a side that flirts with relegation every season but drags themselves clear with a few games to spare?

I wouldn't change it for the world.

I'm pleased you're happy with your lot.  

Very happy, jak.

A wise old man told me one time, that happiness in nothing but a frame of mind. I hope when you come to measure my success, that you don't count my money, count my happiness.

You get me, homeboy?

Can't you get yourself home?

TRU DAT

I still prefer it to supporting a club with delusions of grandeur, like yours.

You vilers need to get a grip on reality, son.

So YOU'RE villainies dad !!!!!!! That kinda makes sense.   

No son of mine would have turned out like that, I can assure you  

You say that Tilts but I've got four sons, three Gooners-for-life and the last one supports effin' Leeds! Now I've never insisted on any of my young'ens to a) like football, b) play football or c) support The Arsenal but all of 'em did a and b pretty well but the last one went off course, I know not why. So, what I'm trying to say is that villainies could indeed be your son (although I wouldn't wish that on anyone)!

I think a Jeremy Kyle DNA test could sort it.

Ok, so one of your sons turned out a bit odd. Luckily you've got 3 spares so it's not the end of the world. I follow your logic, but there is no way that the poncey viler villainies is related to me in any way, shape or form. Now stop it.
