Missed it by 1 mate but great try. Lol3,000th post to this thread
Well, nothing ground breaking at all came of this but this is what was said:
I decided to pretend to be a Charlton fan. Winkelman was back in the bar as promised after the game and I said well done on the win. He said thanks and I asked how their season was going. He said it's been a decent start but said they were disappointed to lose up at Sunderland and need to get back to picking up points in the league.
I took that as my opportunity to say I was a Charlton fan and that "we'd" beaten Sunderland in the play off and that a defeat there wasn't too bad because they'd be targeting promotion. I then said I'd even heard mention of some big takeover but said I didn't think it would happen. His reply was "oh no I get the impression it will happen, but yeah you'd fancy them to get up anyway". I tried pushing by saying "oh right, I'd just heard about it quite a while ago so assumed it must have stalled" and he said "you'd be amazed at how long these things can take if they're done properly". Then someone else started talking to him and I thought it would look suspicious if I tried banging on about Sunderland again.
So nowt exciting, and considering they'd have been there the day after the talk in with Donald it wasn't a surprise that he said it was still ongoing since that's what Donald said. Certainly didn't sound like it was in the balance or anything though, I presume it'll have been mentioned when he was up for the match with us so for him to be saying he thinks it'll happen is a bit of a positive. I deliberately said I didn't think it would happen just to see if he'd just go along with it but he didn't. So not much to report, but at least he didn't say "I was up there and Donald said it was ****ed" I suppose
I hope you went Charlton Full kit or as a pearly king

Since the influx of new members this topic is going the same as the other board.
The influx of new members, one of which is, er....you?
I’m sick of her now mate so she’s all yours. LolDamn, does that mean i have to share my river slut or just give her to you
No it’s not, just a bit of banter in between the news that’s coming through and without the bitterness and venom that the other site produces.
I've not seen Mods rowing with each other, the owner stepping in, posters turning on each other or personal insults tbh.
Perhaps if you gave your honest opinions, about the thread topic, it would help the direction.
It's cool on here and that may take a while to adapt to.
I think its gone off topic on a few occasions, but it certainly hasn't degenerated into a back biting an snide fest that seems to have happened on SMB... Those who try and bring that crap over here, will get banned for sure.
Our Newcastle supporting supporting friends and management can console themselves that even though they were rejected by our new owners, at least Greggs are stockpiling pork so that they will not run out of sausage rolls after brexit.
