Fans of Ebbsfleet United look like this <ok>
 
Sir Oswald Vol au vent and his Orpington Union of Reactionaries appear to be in full flow towards a confrontation with Belgium and the English middle classes resident in the garden of England. Claiming to represent all that is good about Charlton football club he is attempting to overthrow owner and management and will soon be sending the Valley Express to an industrial estate near the Bricklayer arms where "work will set you free" . He will not have anything other than the "right "people support Charlton as he alone knows what is best. He will not allow foreign ownership or have anyone other than his chosen coaches train the squad of football players. He would like to put the fight back into Charlton support and probably fight with others.

Not for me old pastry case. Yes it was a defeat on Sunday and yes I did attend and yes I was disappointed and angry at the lack of commitment shown. I am angry that we could go down this season and that we do not appear to have commitment from the players or from the owner. However, until you can show me that you can afford to buy RD out or have better coaching credentials than the current management team then you are just an angry man from Orpington with a delusion about the first part of the 21st century. There are no windmills left in SE7 but I am certain no body would laugh if you started tilting at the Thames Barrier.........

No I don't have a comb over, yes I am over 50, no I do not wear a cardigan, yes I do bring food in Tupperware since the food from the ground is unhealthy, I do not collect autographs.

Agree with every word <cheers>

Nothing wrong with liking England as it was, and liking CAFC as it was.

Rose tinted glasses as well!

This country has a track record of deposing despots and most of the true Charlton fans when told to be more like Millwall supporters will look at the stereotype you would like to promulgate and say no thank you, hell even most of the Millwall supporters wouldn't back you.

If you are looking back to the "halcyon" days of the sixties when football clubs were owned by the local mill owner you, to paraphrase, "weren't there".

Reason 1 - the Owners.

I think we will look back at the recent transfer window as the defining factor in our demise. Selling Alnwick after his performances, particularly at Ipswich, smacked of self inflicted madness. Yann and Stephens were two of our better players this season. Six players came in, all from different countries, and all apparently sharing one thing in common - they were not recruited by Powell. Nego looks awful (as you would expect from the Hungarian 2nd div), Reza needs time which we have not got, Thuram looks poor, AA is not fully fit, Koc looks precisely that....and, trust us....we have employed the one Pole who has come to this country & is not working. RD's interview last week stank like a week old mackerel stuffed down a vagrant's underpants. "Charlton players may be sold" and "Charlton fans will have to accept" etc. Feeder Club FC here we come.

Solution to the above - Stop being nicey nicey little ol Charlton. Start letting RD know what we think, starting on Wednesday night.

Reason 2 - the Manager.

Chris Powell was memorably described today as "the man who thinks tactics are small mints". Spot on. Too many mistakes to catalogue this season, but Pritchard on the right, Cousins on the right, 4-5-1 at home, no shots or crosses in 90 min, and bizarre and defensive substitutions are a start. The sad thing for Sir Chris is that the performance yesterday, the sheer lack of fight, leaves an indelible stain on his record as manager.

Solution - sack him today. Take Useless stooge Dyer down the road with him. Yesterday proved once and for all that Powell has lost it. Put Hart and Matthew in charge for remaining games. Could they do any worse than a manager who averages less than 1 point a game?

Reason 3 - the Fans.
H
The "Wally/Trainspotter Element" of our support does us a huge diservice. Not only does it make us a laughing stock among other club's fans, it also inures our owners - whoever they are, but particularly Murray - who then think because they are surrounded by a bunch of forty and fifty something kagool wearing train spotters, they can get away with murder. We need to start acting a lot more like Millwall's fans for the rest of this season.

Solution - immediate suspension of all "fans" who fulfill at least three of these 5 criteria: wear a kagool/cardigan, sport a combover, age over 50, bring a tupperware container to games containing half time refreshments, stand in West Stand car park like a raspberry, tongues lolling out like Andy from Little Britain, waiting with clipboard and biro for autographs. I am 110% serious. Ban them.

Please do not tarnish us from Orpington with the reactionary element that is known as the Petts Wood brigade. It was Orpington which famously elected a Liberal (when they were real Liberals) in 1962. We also welcome Polish goal scorers with open arms, shame CP does not try him, little to lose by it.
 
I sat on train home from Sheffield with a group of young drunk men who sung unpleasent things about former black players, loudly talked about what they'd like to do to a group of (under 16 year old dancers) and their teacher who got on at Chesterfield, and slapped their teachers backside, like they had the right. They intimidated virtually everyone around them. In different company I'd have challenged their behaviour but with my wife and son present I didn't want to bring their attentions to bear in our direction. They were revolting thugs and I was embarrassed to be associated with them via the club. Them or me Vol?
