Yep. Always good to hear from those two Vol. Having said that, considering we're on our second manager since CP, this is a very bitchy thread.
The young bull attempted to assert his authority, but the wirey, lively meerkat was ever the lurker and refused to budge.
A young bull..? Wow, I'm flattered. I might have been young when I saw my first Charlton match back in the 1950's but I must say the days of my youth are long since passed. Well, TC (which I'm presuming is intended to stand for Top Cat. How original) it seems you benefit from the forbearance of civilised football supporters, otherwise known as Charlton Athletic fans. You should be grateful for their tolerance, wretch. I still think you're a troll, but I'll roll with the majority stance. Who knows, we may achieve that which has hitherto been considered impossible and turn a Millwall fan into a human being. I'm not optimistic but it should be an interesting experiment.
Well, I suppose it's difficult for the Charlton players to play their best with pegs on their noses. Trying to play football in a public urinal isn't anybody's idea of a good day out but we do our best. The current head to head stands at of 68 league meetings, Millwall have 33 wins, Charlton 11 wins with 24 drawn matches. That's a 2 to 1 win ratio for Millwall which is hardly a "one sided" fixture. It's also worth pointing out that as Millwall have only ever had a paltry two seasons in the top tier of English football, they've never really played us when we've been at our best. Only two seasons in the top flight....... for a club that was founded in 1885 (129 years and counting). Shoddy. And no trophy in all that time. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Still, you can tell us about one experience Charlton have never had...... What's it like playing in the fourth division..?
Perhaps he meant a 2 to 1 points ratio, which is roughly correct (using the modern 3pts for a win system), and a fairer guide anyway. It is a strange record and possibly unique in League history. Over the decades results between teams in the same division tend to even out. Only exceptions are teams like Arsenal which have averaged high finishing places in the top tier, and teams who tend to finish low down in the bottom division (and the periodic reshaping of the division has confused that issue so I could not hazard a guess which they might be). In the post-war years, Crystal Palace usually finished low down in the old Div III (South). They were the good old days when everyone knew their proper place!
