http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/charlton_athletic/9360972.stm What an amazing couple of weeks that was. Funnily enough I remember being sat in a cheap Chinese ''restaurant'' on Bethnal Green Road when I read this on my phone whilst having my lunch break, going back to the office to read his quotes about him walking around London after being told he had the job and how deliriously happy he was about it. The first times in years we had some actual good news! Congratulations CP.
Today also markes the three year anniversary of me taking the plunge and moving out of home and in with the mrs. I remember being glued more to my phone reading the about the good news than I was to the the ikea wardrobe I was meant to be putting together! Sadly however, today also marks the one year anniversary of a close friends passing so 14th January will also be bitter/sweet for me.
God knows what I was doing three years ago, but I remember being at the Swindon game & the look on Parky's face at full time. He knew the game was up. I have never personally bought into the subsequent Cult of SCP, although I have the utmost respect for those who have.
5-2 to Sheffield United Pardew's last one was worse, 6-1 at home to Leeds was shocking in the prem but worse has to be 1-0 to Wycombe in the quarter finals of the League Cup, Les' last game ha they were far worse
All good shouts Ted. Whilst the defeat was not as heavy as the ones you have mentioned, I would put 2-1 at home vs Ipswich last season up there as well (Dan Seabourne in particular)
The 0-3 to Barnsley and not long followed up by the 2-5 against Sheffield are the ones that stick in my head!
Have to agree. The Wycmbe game was absolutely ghastly, a complete nightmare. My abiding memory of this game was of one of our mercenaries, Traore, I think, with the ball at his feet in the right-back position, nobody near him, taking 3 or 4 paces and wellying the ball out for a goal-kick to Wycombe. When a group of fans booed him he turned round, shrugged his shoulders and walked away.
