Being an Albion fan in enemy territory is character building.

And the Labour Party Young Socialists.

Bless him; he thinks it was because of his football team...

I’d add get him along to some of the Foundation school holiday camps if he likes playing footy. Great staff and plenty of other young baggies

Issue is my lovely, kind, beautiful grandson is being relentlessly teased that West Brom are crap, shit ( bit disturbing the number of youngsters who know enough to attach the appellation “shit” to a football team) and was v clearly told yesterday that West Brom “are the worst team ever”.  West Brom aren’t the worst team ever we know that, but if a 6 year old is told that by a bunch of older kids in the school he’s inclined to believe it.  It’s making him v upset, he’s one of those kids that wants to fit in be a part of the group, but his West Brom shirt is like a stigma setting him apart from everyone else.  Those of you with grandchildren will know that the love you have for your grandkids is both v deep and special.  Knowing the abuse he’s getting at school is 100% on me wanting him to be a Baggie is v hard to take.  I don’t want him to be taking stick at school for literally being the only West Brom fan in his class, and I suspect in the whole school, supporting a team that will give his classmates endless opportunities to ridicule him and take the piss. And it’s got to the point where his Mom and Dad are concerned, because with regard to football at least this 6 year old kid is on his own.  
Sorry for the diatribe but I’m genuinely upset by this and wondering if any of you had similar circumstances and what did you do, or what advice would you have?

Really, he needs to beat this shit out of one of them. I know he's only 6 but he should be able to understand how to execute a proper uppercut.

After that I expect things will be okay for him.....

Get him to run around singing “Shit on the Villa”. Childish giggles all round when your six!

Go round to the offending kids houses and set fire to their cars.
