Forging a Blade

[Vistoma]

Just wondered if anyone has been in a similar position to me.

My wife is a Wednesday season ticket holder and from the day we first discussed having kids, she's "promised" me she's going to make Owls out of them. Has anyone else been faced with this and if so, how would you go about making sure your kids make the right choice? I don't want to have to dis-own my kids. :thumbup:

not quite the same but (and I have posted this before) my lad came home from infants saying he wanted to support Wednesday because all his mates did. I said very little just took him to the back door, put him outside, then locked the door and told him he wasn't coming in until he had changed his mind!! He is now a 22 year old "mad" Blade has been a macot etc etc etc

Am in the same situation mate! Married a Wednesday S/T holder in July and we've joked about kids (although there are no plans yet).

Her suggestion was that her Dad took his daughter and my Dad takes his daughter (my sister) so any girls could be a Blade. However, she is claiming a boy for Wednesday. Am happy to make an future daughter of mine a Blade but I will not let a son of mine be a Wednesday fan. So, the plan is this: do football things with any son that are not connected to United/Wednesday - playing in the park/garden, watching football on the TV, singing football songs, cheering for England so that when the decision is made, the child will connect football with Dad and want to be a Blade.

Of course, thats a few years away and Wednesday could be bust by then!

That's sneaky WB. I like it. Pre-meditated.


And Vistoma - that's old-school parenting at its best.

Seeing the state of Wednesdays ground should surely do the trick.

Also show them pictures of the place flooded and say if your not careful you may have to swim off out of the ground.

Last course of action is to claim custody of the child and get the marriage annulled on the grounds that your wife is clearly insane.

You could try an produce an owl phobia, show them lots of video clips of owls eating cute little mice and make sure the first thing they see when they wake up is a really scary picture of an owl, this one will do. Ideally they should start screaming and crying whenever they see an owl and then it would just be cruel to take them to swillsboro.

It's true this method worked for me but it was Man ure not our blue and white neighbours!!!!!!!!

What I would do is agree that she takes the little 'un to a match and then you do the same. Let the Mrs take the first go and take him/her to a game. Then when its your turn spoil em rotten, take em to McDonalds, the club shop, wherever you need to go to ensure that when asked which one they preferred thet answer UNITED !!!
It'll work like a charm and a Blade is forged

TBF it was quite a few years ago, he's about a foot taller than me now so I wouldn't dare do it again!

The easiest way it to show them the league table when they are old enough to understand.

Kids like to support the "winning" team and if were are top dogs in Sheffield I'd force that one down their throat.
Even easier if we are in the Premiership.

My dad (not a Wednesday fan) decided for some reason to take me to see Wednesday vs Port Vale and I hated it, my Uncle then took me to see United and that was it, Bob the Farty Blade was forged.

At bedtime, I recommend that you keep the 'friendliness' to nothing more than a firm handshake, then read a good book till lights out. It will solve all the problems...

To win this war you must become war.
Why set your sights on just saving the children destroy the threat.
Convert your wife to the red and white.
The answer subliminal messaging a favourite of the C.I.A for years.

List of things you will need for operation big bad wolf.

1. a baby monitor
2. a tape recorder
3. an alarm clock

Step one stick baby monitor in kids room and yours.

Step 2 get a tape recorder and fill the tape with facts like

Wednesdays are evil and torture up to 10 “if lucky” thousand souls a week.

You will grow webbed toes and fingers if you go the swillsbrough twice in a year.

Sheffield united was put on the earth by god himself to combat the evil Wendy’s.

You get the idea lots of facts…

Step 3 when your offspring are asleep and the missus is drifting off get out of bed and sneak in to the kids room, turn on the tape recorder so its with in ear shot of your kids and the baby monitor .

Step 4 set alarm 30mins before your wife gets up so you can hide the evidence of your thought correction process.

With in one year your home should be pig free.

If this doesn’t work wait until your kids are about five shoot your wife up with sodium pentofel “truth serum” and just ask her in front of the kids who is the best team in sheffield simple
