I’d rather it was Forest as payback for their “cast of thousands” promotion season. Let’s hope a nice little points deduction would be waiting for them on arrival. |

Our strategy for away games now appears to be “garer le bus.” |

It promises to be but if Ford keeps kicking possession away to the opposing backs the way he did against the Welsh yesterday the outcome is likely to be very different in Paris. |
 | Forum Reply | Charlton Memories ...like tears in rain.. at 06:46 8 Feb 2026
That confirms another of my distant memories Boston. I thought I remembered going to stand behind the Charlton goal at one end and then walking round to the other end for the second half to do the same.I was thinking it couldn’t really have happened like that when I posted yesterday but your post has made me realise that it actually did happen as I’d remembered. The other thing that strikes me is how much safer it must have been for kids in the late 1950’s. I’m not sure too many parents would be happy for their nine year olds to go to football grounds unaccompanied by an adult these days but it seemed perfectly safe and reasonable then. |

Nowhere near as entertaining as Disco’s Charlton memories and considerably more ancient. We lived in Eltham till I was ten so Charlton were our local club. I have very hazy memories of my Dad taking me to watch my first football game at the old Valley when I was six and they were playing against Blackpool in the First Division with Stanley Matthews still in the Blackpool team at the age of 41 and a crowd of fifty odd thousand. Then in the couple of years before we moved going with my primary school mates to stand behind the goal and cheer on the goalkeeper Willie Duff, whose name has curiously stayed in my mind. |

That was the kind of expansive, free-flowing rugby that the French used to play years ago and although I’m an England supporter I found it an absolute joy to watch. |

I think the ignore button will be your friend in this case Enfield. Certainly not worth leaving the site for. |

The phrase “boo boy” is often used on here when a player is simply receiving perfectly reasonable criticism over their level of performance on this forum. |

The thing recently that I’ve enjoyed watching most was a series from Thailand called “The Believers” on Netflix. It’s about three young Thais who end up in massive debt after their online gaming business is hacked and destroyed. Their efforts to pay off their debt by taking over a Buddhist temple and turning it into a money spinner, along with the dubious and dangerous characters they encounter in the process make for compulsive viewing. |

It amused me when I watched Saturday night’s MOTD and Dion Dublin’s big take on the Chelsea game was that they don’t have enough players and need to acquire a lot more. I was under the impression that you’re never more than five feet away from a Chelsea player, there’s so many of them. |

That’s provided our “pitch” doesn’t take any more out of consideration in the coming weeks |

Yeah, he seemed to realise that you were actually allowed to catch the ball. I found myself feeling glad that it wasn’t us playing them. |

If you think it’s a problem working out where Bennie plays you should try it for Harvey Vale because I really have no idea. |

Hunter’s post on page one of this thread which received 24 upvotes made an enormous amount of sense to me because it’s what I’ve been thinking myself for years. Come to think of it, I think I’d rather have him as manager than JS at the moment because he seems more tactically aware. |

Yeah, I’m so glad that we only had three home games in the whole of the first two months of the season so we could fit in two in three days at the turn of the year when it’s cold enough to freeze your nuts off. |
