Grav1 and any other parents of Match Attack obsessed children...

[Dottydot]

Have been through ds1's cards and although he gave most of his swaps away (clearly not understanding the meaning of the word ), he's got the following to swap:

Bolton Wanderers
Joey O'Brien
Matthew Taylor (x2)

Newcastle United
Belozoglu Emre

I know it's not many but thought I'd check if anyone can swap for pretty much any Manchester United cards - he's got Giggs and the goalie but I think that's about it. He's United obsessed (and has brought shame on the family - we're all City, which is why he's chosen United ).

Or list any other swaps and I'll go through his cards.

Would love him even just to get some post - he's just starting to get a vague interest in reading and a while ago I know lots of people were looking for penpals - I think he's at that stage (he's 6.5).

Anyway, when he gets more cards I'll post them.

oooh....I may be able to help here as my DS1 is currently collecting as has rather a few swapsies!!!

My DH is also a City fan......he is heartbroken tho this weekend as DS1 has declared himself to be a chelsea boy!!!! (he is following his BF at school....several of them are converting to chelsea it seems).

it has gotten so bad that DS1's City football kit promted tears the other day. DS was doing footy training and had forgotten his kit....I rushed home and got the first thing to hand, his City kit (luckily they aren;t in a 'uniform' kit).......he was horrified when I got back, and promtly burst into angry tears once in the car to come home after as he was "sooooooo laughed at!" (his words....oh for the joy of 7/8yo boys who have their own type of 'fashion' dictates)

I will hunt down DS's swap's tho and get back to you

aww - thanks! (is it really sad that I'm quite excited?! )

Dotty - my ds1 is a footie fanatic - collected all the originals and now this set..... driving me mad
will talk to him when he gets home ( at football!) and see what he has got, sure we could post you some!

ok...we have...

Man U - michael carrick

newcastle - james milner

arsenal - emmanuel eboue x 2
robin van persie x 2
emmanuel adebayor

tottenham - gareth bale
mehdi nafti x 2

Man City - michael ball

and there was also a chelsea, but he us hugging that to his chest, so to speak!!!

sorry.....mehdi nafti is birmingham city

teach me to not study the emblems properly!!!

Ds is obsessed too. Will ask him later what he wants/would swap.

and I think I have looked carefully.....

we don;t have your newcastle boy, nor matthew taylor!!!

ooh fab - Psychomum5, could we have the United player + James Milner and we can send the newcastle + Matthew Taylor?!

My e-mail address is: lakinson dot house at ntlworld dot com

If you e-mail me your address I'll send you mine

I'm taking ds1 to buy a couple more packets this afternoon so will probably have more swaps later

thanks everyone - he's very excited - bless...

Ds has about 100 cards that he can swap (far too many to list individually on here but if anyone has any of the cards above please post a message and let me know what your dc would like instead and I will see if we have got them. Only Man U swap he has at present is Rio Ferdinand.

My ds has hundreds of swaps if anyones interested just going to do a list now

Ds has just informed me that his cards are all original cards and not match attacks extras.

Grav1 - just checked through and I don't think we've got any you need . Your ds is doing incredibly well though - can't imagine how many he's got!!

So far, our swaps from today's haul are:

Bolton Wanderers
Matthew Taylor
Joey O'Brien
Andrew O'Brien

Fulham
Danny Murphy

Liverpool
Steven Gerrard

Manchester City
Nery Castillo

Manchester United
Gerard Pique
Mikael Silvestre

West Ham
Julien Faubert

Birmingham City
Daniel de Ridder

If anyone wants any of these and could offer any swaps that would be great!

Grav1 - I didn't know there was a difference Ds1's are Match Attack Extras I think.

(what did we spend our time on before we had children ..?)

Hi Dottydot. I think your ds is collecting match attack extras as I do not recognise the names you have listed as being ordinary match attacks.

Oh It's all very complicated in the world of football trading cards. I'm not even getting into Euro 2008 cards...
