Been sh*t for the last 3 seasons really. Been much much worse before. Never understood many of Curbs tactics (if there were any !!) or his substitions but we had 8 yeras in the top flight. I cant go 2 that many games these days but not matter how sh*t we are (and boy we have been this season) i miss it like hell when i havnt been for awhile. although this has much more to do with mates being there than the football. Ill still go when im about and ill still be going long long after the very faint glimmer of the play offs have gone away.
ITS CHARLTON FFS WHAT DO YOU EXPECT !!!

exactly gh.
when we were sitting pretty in the prem can you believe that people actually thought it would be in charlton's best interests to lose the manager who was moving us forward slowly on a shoestring,bring in a couple of duffs then try to sell us that going down would be a good idea!
still,i hope they have enjoyed the last couple of years.
My argument at the time was that it would be easier to escape relegation from the Prem than get 'guaranteed' promotion from the CCC.
We finished 4 points from safety last year.
At the moment we're 11 points from promotion.
Still, the 'nailed on' certs for promotion are all having a shitty time, too:
'Best footballing side in the division, today beaten at home 1-4 by a bottom 3 side who've barely won since Xmas.
Top of the league Bristol City, stuttered to a couple of draws and lost at home today.
Watford - haven't won a match since God knows when, limping along with draws.
Stoke haven't won in 5.
It's not just us, folks .......
or Rochdale. 34 consecutive years in division 4 (old money)
Old Division III, must have been 1973.
Back on topic:
The 6 teams in the playoff positions this morning - not one win today between the lot of them.........
A friend of mine supports Wolves and says they're pretty poor as well, so our game with them could be a classic...
Won 1
Drawn 3
Lost 11
yeah but it was stale under curbs and we would've gone down if he stayed look at how the players that got 47 premiership points under curbs in his last season failed in the last few games that year.
anyway curbs has gone and the long stint under dowie gave him time to prove he was no good
and les reed was a charlton man but it didn't work out
we've got pards and his 4 year plan in place now and things are looking up , we're in a tough league now and you might be able to buy the premiership title but we're proving you can't buy the championship
so i'd rather stay in this competitive league for a few more years cos it's exciting
the only way is up
..... but you're absolutely right!
Love your phrase, "........ we're in a tough league now and you might be able to buy the premiership title but we're proving you can't buy the championship........"
It might still be sh*t but it never seems quite as bad .....
