CP turns up for the opening of an envelope... Don't get that one Vol. As for Uwe Bees fans were calling for his head during last season !
I stand by my view that Powell's comments after the Leicester game were unacceptable. No professional sportsman should ever be "happy" with keeping the score down. We were playing Leicester City, not Real Madrid. If Parkinson or Dowie had made those comments then I guarantee that The Grow Your Own Tomatoes Brigade would have been spitting their Bovril out. Rank, malodorous double standards ! Powell gets away with it for all sorts of complex non football related reasons, which have very little to do with him having shirt buttons for a transfer budget.
Hurrah!!!!! I'm in a new brigade!!!!! I grow my own tomatoes every year, they taste wonderful, but I would never dream of wasting Bovril by spitting it out. Anyway it might stain my cardigan, making it rank and malodorous. I also grow potatoes, raspberries, gooseberries, blackcurrants, rhubarb, asparagus, garlic, courgettes, runner beans, broccoli and beetroot which hopefully will qualify me for some other brigades. I was in the Boys Brigade over 50 years ago, and tried to join the "Ra-ra brigade" on Your Views, but failed the interview. Which brigade are you in, V-a-v?
This whole Bovril thing has to stop now. If you want to make a point about CP and his words etc, that's fine. But the generalisation (meant in a negative way) towards fellow fans is no more. It's getting ridiculous on here with all the bickering, so everyone has been warned - should it not stop I will continue to close threads. For what it's worth, back on topic, CP did get it horribly wrong with his post match comments. I think his relationship with Leicester played a part in what he said, but he should have remained professional and let the fans know thats not the standards he sets when sending a team out.
RD should instruct the match day stewards to check Charlton fans on entering the Valley for tupperware containers. I have seen an amazing amount of them unveiled at half time during our home matches, containing a variety of home grown vegetables for consumption. This is particularly ridiculous when you consider that the rest of us are checked and told off for bringing bottles of Seven Up into the stadium. Unless this is addressed, it is trouble waiting to happen. One day our core fan base will get really cross about something, and a shower of tupperware containing home grown tomatoes will rain down on Danny Green from the East Stand.
Nick, time to stop and take a step backwards. You're becoming a paradoy of yourself (the same applies to your alter ego Royston Vasey). You make some good points and proceed to diminute them with some crass (although original) statements.
I would also introduce a surcharge if fans want to enter the East Stand using a zimmer frame. I can see one getting hurled at Simon Church sooner or later, and unlike "The Vicar", it is not guaranteed to miss the target.
Next you'll be wanting me to leave my dentures at home in case I throw them and they bite CP on the bum.
It is true, Ponders, but you wouldn't like my allotment; from it you can see the enormous "sheds" in the huge adjoining gardens, which are used at night as dormitories for our east european friends. As they say, where there's muck there's brass.
Why the hell are they living in sheds? If that is their standard of living, I suggest they piss off home.
They are allowed in the large houses until about 9 or 10 then they go int the shed. How else could they afford to work so cheaply?
