What is Phil Mitchell Jimbo doing feeding that baby?

I would take him but do we really need to put another one back in hospital?

BOY dad Alfie Patten yesterday admitted he does not know how much nappies cost — but said: “I think it’s a lot.” Baby-faced Alfie, who is 13 but looks more like eight, became a father four days ago when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth to 7lb 3oz Maisie Roxanne. He told how he and Chantelle, 15, decided against an abortion after discovering she was pregnant. The shy lad, whose voice has not yet broken, said: “I thought it would be good to have a baby. “I didn’t think about how we would afford it. I don’t really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me £10.” Alfie, who is just 4ft tall, added: “When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble. We wanted to have the baby but were worried how people would react. “I didn’t know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it.” Alfie’s dad Dennis told how the lad does not really understand the enormity of his situation — but seemed desperate to be a devoted and responsible father. He wanted to be the first to hold Maisie after the hospital birth. He tenderly kisses the baby and gives her a bottle. And Dennis, 45, said: “He could have shrugged his shoulders and sat at home on his Playstation. But he has been at the hospital every day.” Maisie was conceived after Chantelle and Alfie — just 12 at the time — had a single night of unprotected sex. They found out about the baby when Chantelle was 12 weeks pregnant. But they kept it a secret until six weeks later when Chantelle’s mum Penny, 38, became suspicious about her weight gain and confronted her. After that Alfie’s family told only those closest to them for fear he would be “demonised” at school. Chantelle gave birth to Maisie on Monday night after a five-hour labour at Eastbourne Hospital, East Sussex. Last night she told The Sun: “I’m tired after the birth. I was nervous after going into labour but otherwise I was quite excited.” Chantelle told how she discovered she was expecting after going to her GP with “really bad” stomach pains. She said: “Me and Alfie went. The doctor asked me whether we had sex. I said yes and he said I should do a pregnancy test. He did the test and said I was pregnant. I started crying and didn’t know what to do. “He said I should tell my mum but I was too scared. “We didn’t think we would need help from our parents. You don’t really think about that when you find out you are pregnant. You just think your parents will kill you.” But Penny figured out what was going on after buying Chantelle a T-shirt which revealed her swelling tum. Chantelle admitted she and Alfie — who are both being supported by their parents — would be accused of being grossly irresponsible. She said: “We know we made a mistake but I wouldn’t change it now. We will be good loving parents. “I have started a church course and I am going to do work experience helping other young mums. “I’ll be a great mum and Alfie will be a great dad.” Chantelle and Maisie were released from hospital yesterday. They are living with Penny, Chantelle’s jobless dad Steve, 43, and her five brothers in a rented council house in Eastbourne. The family live on benefits. Alfie, who lives on an estate across town with mum Nicola, 43, spends most of his time at the Steadmans’ house. He is allowed to stay overnight and even has a school uniform there so he can go straight to his classes in the morning. Alfie’s dad, who is separated from Nicola, believes the lad is scared deep down. He said: “Everyone is telling him things and it’s going round in his head. It hasn’t really dawned on him. He hasn’t got a clue of what the baby means and can’t explain how he feels. All he knows is mum and dad will help. “When you mention money his eyes look away. And she is reliant on her mum and dad. It’s crazy. They have no idea what lies ahead.” Dennis, who works for a vehicle recovery firm, described Alfie as “a typical 13-year-old boy” He said: “He loves computer games, boxing and Manchester United.” Dennis, who has fathered nine kids, told how he was “gobsmacked” when he discovered Alfie was to be a dad, too. He said: “When I spoke to him he started crying. He said it was the first time he’d had sex, that he didn’t know what he was doing and of the complications that could come. “I will talk to him again and it will be the birds and the bees talk. Some may say it’s too late but he needs to understand so there is not another baby.” Chantelle’s mum said: “I told her it was lovely to have the baby but I wish it was in different circumstances. We have five children already so it’s a big financial responsibility. But we are a family and will pull together and get through. “She’s my daughter. I love her and she will want for nothing.” Last night Michaela Aston, of the anti-abortion Christian charity LIFE, said: “We commend these teenagers for their courage in bringing their child into the world. “At the same time this is symptomatic of the over-sexualisation of our youngsters and shows the policy of value-free sex education just isn’t working.” Today Sussex Police and the local council's children services said they have investigated the case and pledged continued support for the young parents. Britain’s youngest known father is Sean Stewart. He became a dad at 12 when the girl next door, 15-year-old Emma Webster, gave birth in Sharnbrook, Bedford, in 1998. They split six months later.

I remember him squaring up to Shola, on Sholas debut (I think?) Even soft as shite Ameobi laughed at him...

Why get Sven when we can have one of these three...

Aye in the 80s, even Souness was winning things back then. Its 2009 ffs....

Plastic geordies wait until you see the guys who fucking mod on here...wannabee c*nts the lot of them...

You should have got the Blackberry Bold I did like the looks of that, however my girlfriend has a blackberry and I don't like the roller ball on it. Not sure how responsive it is on other BBs but I have always found it to be pretty good on this.

Yes! Bar what he done with England, which lets be honest he only achieved what most England supporters expect from their team, hes done pretty much fuck all since the 80s. Let's face it, other than the Holland match, England's performance at Euro 96 is massively over rated. True. I went to the Spain game and we were very lucky IMO. Hold on a minute you beat the mighty Scotland... Ok fair point, its not as if thats impressive

You should have got the Blackberry Bold

Congrats mate-must be an exciting time! Dark horse yee like. Well we are piloting it nationally as a mixture of the economic climate and the fact we are a bit unknown within the sector has meant we have not secured the funding we have hoped for yet, but with it being a non profit magazine I am in for some funding for it (so fingers crossed) and we are trying to put some pressure on some important people in high places within the country so may get some backing through that. I am equally as excited about setting the charity up tbh, working in the sector and complaining about some things other people do, or should be don't do, thought it was time for me to see how we can tackle (pardon the pun) raising awareness about male cancers. Have been sitting on the idea of it for a couple of years now and have a few campaigns already waiting to get rolled out so hopefully we can make an impact with that (will help if my magazine is in schools, colleges and Unis and I give it free advertising of course). From a fundraising side of things we are looking to give financial support to people who have been diagnosed as there is very little fundung support for many people who have struggle with time from work, travel costs for attending Chemo, Hospice expenses etc. Fingers crossed it all takes off pretty well. Sure is going to be alot of work but hopefully worth it.

Some advertising/PR/marketing/Graphic Design in the charity and voluntary sector. Editor and project manage a Youth magazine that is set to launch nationally following its recent success. And in case I get bored and don't have enough to do I am in the process of starting up a charity.

Not sure of the exact stats but someone on N-O earlier claimed that his points/wins was no better than Robsons that season.

Yes! Bar what he done with England, which lets be honest he only achieved what most England supporters expect from their team, hes done pretty much fuck all since the 80s.

I don't agree with you over him doing a good job after Souness, I'm firmly of the belief that the decent spell at that time was more to do with Shearer helping him out - it wasn't until he went it alone that it started to go down hill. I still think Tommy Craigs part in that is often overlooked...

Heres another.. Mario Stanic

Diego Tristan

Bernardo Corradi

I'd take Verry Terribles over Houghton and co, but that's about the only positive I can find. You lot are such fucking drama queens. Venables is light years ahead of those two. When? In the eighties?

Venables can fuck right off...

8 million budget. So had we bought Michael Johnson, with the money upfront of course, for 8 million last week I assume we would have had to spend the summer spending nowt?

I reckon Toms been pissing about

Geordie Lad, Toontastics very own Captain Sensible... "Happy talkin', talkin Happy talk Talk about things you'd like to do You've got to have a dream If you don't have a dream How you gonna have a dream come true"

NEWCASTLE have lined up Mexican coach Javier Aguirre as a successor to Joe Kinnear if the current United manager quits this summer. The Magpies believe Aguirre, who was controversially sacked by Atletico Madrid last week, could fill the breach should Kinnear decide against accepting the offer of a two-year contract at St James’s Park. Kinnear has been taking time to weigh up his personal circumstances, and missed yesterday’s win at West Brom due to ill health — although he intends to return to his post in the near future. But United have drawn up contingency plans which could see Aguirre inherit the hotseat. The 50-year-old spent two-and-a-half seasons in charge at Atletico, having landed the job by steering modest Osasuna into Europe via a fourth-place finish in La Liga. Aguirre looked well set for a long stay in Madrid when Atletico finished fourth in Spain last season, qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in 11 years. But despite an impressive start to the current campaign, and Atletico qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League, Aguirre was fired after a six-game winless start to 2009. That sparked anger among some Atletico players, with the likes of striker Diego Forlan reportedly intent on following Aguirre out of the club in the summer. Newcastle considered the credentials of several Spanish-based coaches before and after appointing Kevin Keegan as manager 13 months ago.
