Ed's,

I hope you don't mind me posting this, its not football related.

As from half an hour ago I have just become a Grandad, for the first time.

Beautiful little baby girl. Proud is an understatement.

Trying to get them to call her Alexis (as in Sanchez), but that suggestion is about as popular as Spursman's comments).

{Ed002's Note - Good for you man. Our first granddaughter will of course be called China Cat Sunflower. For some reason neither of my daughters are keen on having children right now.}

Congrats, it's true what they say about where there is death there is life, you get you're first Grand daughter while Spursman has slowly been dying on his arse for the last 24hrs

Congratulations DG but if she is going to be named after a player it has to be the great man himself Denis your argument could be that it can always be shortened to D

Congrats dags!

I'm not a parent myself, but I was told the best part of being a grandparent is you can do all the fun stuff and you get to give them back at the end of the day!

I do however insist that it's you duty to ensure nobody tries to convert that child into anything other than a gunner!

All the best mate.

Congrats Dags

Great news mate, your summer is just getting better and better.

Shame about Remy tho!

16.) 20 Jul 2014
Congrats its great being a grandad, at the end of the day you get to hand them back and pick them up again when you like. A lot easier than your own.

17.) 20 Jul 2014
Congratulations Dags. I think we should have a poll to name her! What do you think eds?

{Ed001's Note - Edwina after Ed007 I am thinking. Or Edna after Ed025. Edith after Ed003 is another one.}

18.) 20 Jul 2014
Congrats Dags it's the best feeling in the world being a granddad.
