A big "Hi" to all Chelsea fans. Just moved over from the US to London. My 8-yr old son is soccer crazy (he's attended Chelsea soccer schools twice already) and chose (rightly, of course!) Chelsea to support, so we're a new Chelsea fan family, working our way towards season tickets......

My son and I attend most home games now, usually at the Shed End - the only place to be!

"Carefree, wherever we may be!"

Hi mate, welcome

Welcome Mate !! Enjoy your stay

Actually I was born over here in Arsenal territory, but have moved to the States some time ago (NYC and Orange County California). Son is a New Yorker in every way (attitude, etc.).

Had a chance to move here for work, better education for my son....and of course, the footie. Loving it here in London.

Blimey (as they say in London, I believe) education must be really crap in the US!

Damn, I missed the corrections! However, I would still like to add to the pedantry.

It's the U.S. or U.S.A.

You did the same earlier, as well.

Hello! Welcome to The Shed End mate!

If it's a name shouldn't it start with a capital letter? :P

I'm now really feeling the pressure. I only got a C in English at GCSE! :)

Edit- Kalpit reminded me to say welcome.

So, welcome!

Ah I see - what you've done is to find the Spanish, and you haven't noticed that it gives you the English translation underneath. Devious flamenco dancing bull-fighting Hispanics!

I wasn't really using it as a name - more as a term of endearment! Eggy, mon petit oeuf à la coque! :)

I know it was, I was just taking the piss... which I've never done before, honest. :)

Incidentally, I'm not little and have nothing to do with a ship's hull. :P

"Petit" in French often has nothing to do with size - it's more like "cute" or "sweet" - people will offer you "un petit whisky", like in Scotland we say "a wee dram" and the level in the glass is anything but petit/wee.

"Un oeuf à la coque" is a soft-boiled egg!

Take the piss? Toi? You are almost as unlikely to do that as moi is (or am?)

Welcome to The Shed End D.!

Good to have you on board!

You better believe it.

Hello! Welcome to The Shed End mate!

Cheers matey!

Thank you sir!

I knew about the soft boiled egg, I just also happen to know that coque also means hull, as in on a ship. It was an (admittedly rather weak) attempt at a play on words. However I actually wasn't aware of the other meanings for 'petit'. I shall bear this in mind, I'm sure it could come in useful... Probably not.

You better believe it.

If you say so, it must be so! Is that your wee boy in your avatar? He is adorable!
