[coaxingstar71]

Cheers Roygbiv !

Decent set of comments there.

The soft spot brigade are out in force.

Gay.

 

[Minty]

Many thanks Roy.

Charlton is a good club with decent fans - hope they sort themselves out next season.

 

[BushBlade]

Not that I have a soft spot for any team (unless like Reading this very day, they are Pork slayers) but Charlton are one of my "least disliked".
Saw The Who at the old Valley a hundred or so years ago so do have a soft spot for their ground.

You probably know this but The Who were managed by Bill Curbishley, Alan's brother.

What formation did he play them in?

 

[Seanshoreham]

I was in The Sheaf View after the Q/F win in 2014, the Charlton fans who came in shook our hands and congratulated us - thoroughly decent bunch

Nice work Roy !

A little surprised that one of them highlighted Duffy as our dangerman. Not even sure he'll play and whilst he's had some good/ excellent spells when I've seen him, he seems to have a tendency to go missing in games. Perhaps more down to positioning.

As for danger men, Sharp, Freeman, Fleck all come to mind before Duffy, but it also shows that we have a lot of very good players

To be fair, Duffy was outstanding at their ground. By far the best player on the pitch that day.

What's the betting that tomorrow's game is full of controversy and our fans end up hating each other

Not all that likely to be honest.

 

[mattbianco1]

Ooh, I like Charlton.

Remember them having a similar stance in the cup game t'other year

Why not ask Karl Robinson?

 

[Robby Blade]

Win draw or lose, I've never had a bad day out at Charlton. Nice club with nice fans.

You really, really need to brush up on your grammar.

 

[SteveBlade]

If you all love Charlton so much why don't you just marry them...

 

[wizadry]

Because our lass won't let me.

Duffy's best performance for us was at Charlton. My Addicks mate said he was so relieved when he got subbed

To be fair to them, they are "sandwiched" between the two most obnoxious clubs in English football.

Me neither, one of the friendliest set of fans I've come across.

 

[Northyorksblade]

But they're nowhere near pigs or Leeds??

 

[Grappler]

Cheers Panchero!!

Well, after seeing this, what a thoroughly nice bunch of blokes these people are!!!

"....“dont mind sheffield united far better supporters than there neighbours over the road, were a friendly bunch when we was up there for the cup.”

 

[metalblade]

I don't think they took too kindly to the pigs booking hotel rooms for the semi final when they still had to play Charlton with the winners due to face us at the lane.

 

[Diamondlife]

Cheers Roy, appreciated as always mate

 

[BigBed]

Any team news this evening!?? Feel a small bet tomorrow, what are the odds on a Blades win and Billy to score his 200th goal!?!? 2/50!?

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Cheers Roy.
The old valley is my one and only arrest at a footy game, they had porta cabins in the ground where they locked you up, home and away fans in the same cabin All i did was call the ref a fucking twat, and we lost 2.0, also that day our coach crashed into the back of another blades coach bang outside a Millwall pub, loads of gestering but nothing serious. Happy days

Not many bookies giving odds on such a complicated and subjective bet.

Try bookings and red cards to cover your controversial aspect

 

[Keen Blade]

What formation did he play them in?

Some mad bastard called Moon at the back gave everything a good thrashing. Entwistle played a steady foundation role down the right. Townsend jumped higher than anyone and got booked for swearing. But they had a long blonde-haired geezer called Daltrey up front who could really belt it when necessary. They still hold the record for the loudest performance ever , at Charlton , in May 1976. The long hot summer of my 18th year.
