‘Not sure what’s worse’ – Laura Woods reacts as she watches baby wear Newcastle kit with partner during Arsenal defeat

If watching Arsenal exit the Carabao Cup wasn’t painful enough, Laura Woods had to endure it while her baby wore a Newcastle kit.

Woods, an Arsenal supporter, took in the second leg of the Gunners’ Carabao Cup semi-final against the Magpies with her baby, Leo, resting on her lap.

Unfortunately for Woods, her fiancé Adam Collard is a passionate Newcastle fan.

With Arsenal already down 2-0 from the first leg, it was always going to be an uphill battle for the Gunners as they ventured up to St. James’ Park.

The task became even more difficult in the 19th minute when Jacob Murphy put Newcastle up 1-0 on the night and 3-0 up on aggregate.

Now that they had one foot in the final at Wembley, Collard looked to soak up the moment as little Leo was dressed in a Newcastle babygrow with the wording ‘Toon Army’ on the front.

Collard then held Leo’s arm and helped his newborn do a little dance, much to Woods’ chagrin.

The former Love Island contestant shared the moment on his Instagram story, which was subsequently reposted by Woods.

Woods added the caption: “Genuinely not sure what’s worse, the goal or the Xmas pyjamas.”

Anthony Gordon compounded Woods and Arsenal’s woes even further when he struck in the 52nd minute to cement Newcastle’s spot at Wembley.

It’s not the first time Collard has tried to win over his son’s footballing loyalty.

In a previous Instagram story, Collard shared a picture of Leo in a baby grow that read ‘Mini Magpie’.

“If you aren’t first you’re last… @laurawoodsy,” Collard wrote.

Woods reposted the image and added: “Fuming.”

Although Woods may be losing the battle to win over Leo’s footballing loyalty, at least for now, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has done his part to help out the former talkSPORT host.

Arteta and Woods crossed paths at the Emirates Stadium last December as the Gunners boss took the opportunity to hand over several gifts for Leo, who had not been born yet.

Included in the gift bag was a bear and multiple Arsenal baby outfits.

Woods dubbed the presents ‘too cute’ as she shared a closer look at one of the baby grows with her followers.

Collard has already made moves to secure little Leo as a Newcastle fan[/caption]

But as hard as Woods may try to ensure Leo ends up an Arsenal fan, a Newcastle win in the Carabao Cup final could mean her efforts are futile.

The Magpies await either Tottenham or Liverpool in the final, with Ange Postecoglou’s side holding a slender 1-0 advantage going into the second leg at Anfield on Thursday night.

Newcastle will be out to win their first major trophy since the FA Cup in 1955.
