I am willing to bet large amounts of money that we will NOT be getting relegated this year.

I honestly think we are too good for it.

No need to panic ladies and gents - we will come good and when we really get motoring

That first 25 mins the other nigh twas superb and once we can get a head of steam up and running - and get that performance for the whole game we will be a force to be reckoned with in this division.

We are still in touch with both ends of the table so play offs is as likely as bottom 6

    No team is EVER too good to go down - and we certainly ain't at the moment.
  • cfgscfgs
    I think we will struggle slowly up the table and miss out on all the end of season excitement. Then we are in a for an extended stay in this division until we locate another Curbs

    I'll have some of what you've had. ;o)

    I could do with a shot of optimism right now!
  • BigRedEvilBigRedEvil
    I think we'll win the league and Varney will score 25 goals this season.

    The first 25 minutes was superb. So thats 25 minutes we've played well for in about the last 6 weeks. And we still lost.
    Our defence continues to look shaky, our midfield lacks creativity, our strikers don't get any service and they miss the occasional chances we do create. So how that constitutes being too good to go down i don't know.

    I thought we were too good to go down when we stuff west ham 4-0 two seasons ago....

    i didn't , i liked west hams manager ;-)

    We're not going down, not a chance. Time to prepare ourselves for at least 3-5 seasons in the Championship now I think.

    Up The Addicks!

    I think the West Ham fans thought the team of Cole, Carrick, Defoe, Di Canio etc were too good to go down as well. And the Leeds fans probably thought the same about their team as well.

    My son still has a mirror which says 'CHARLTON ATHLETIC DIVISION ONE' which I bought him 20 years ago to commemorate the day he was a nine year old match mascot v Portsmouth at Selhurst (Andy Jones scored in 17 seconds and he missed the goal cos Jackie from the Junior Reds was still escorting him back from the pitch to his seat!). On hearing of the takeover collapse, he's just got it out of the cupboard and says he's dusting it down to hang back up on his wall next season.

    I've told him very sharply to put it away again !
  • oohaahmortimeroohaahmortimer
    are you still up for this bet;-)
  • Dazzler21Dazzler21
    'll bet £5 we may possibly be relegated but at the same time we may not... that way i win both ways.
  • Oggy RedOggy Red
    Yeah, as it's you Oohaah, I'll put a tenner on that we'll stay up.

    ;o)

    you're on oggy and if we stay up i'll be down at plymouth away to pay you it!!

    [cite]Posted By: oohaahmortimer[/cite]are you still up for this bet;-)

    Tell you what Oohaah - I'll have some.

    What odds are you offerring and what stake were you thinking?

    i've just had a small wager on betfair at 7-5 (2.4 in betfair terms) i'm on there for a gentle £20 more... i've backed us to go down.. emotional hedge
  • Off_itOff_it
    So, what odds are you offering me then?
  • northstandstevenorthstandsteve
    why do you want odds if your so sure we will stay up evens sounds fair if you are that confident.

    Who asked you? Who said I'm "so sure"? You seem to be putting words into my mouth - and not for the first time recently it seems. You want to be a bit moe careful with what you read into things mate.

    Oohahh said he wanted a bet so I'm asking him to give me some odds. Even "evens" is odds in a betting sense, as is odds on or odds against. I'm just trying to suss out what the bet might be and whether there is any value in it. I'm kinda figuring that someone might feel suicidal enough to offer me something crazy - if that's ok with you?
  • northstandstevenorthstandsteve
    it was a question thats all ? i dont want to offend anyone and get accused of sniping.
  • oohaahmortimeroohaahmortimer
    get on betfair that's where it's at... 5-4 to back us to go down or 5-7 to back us to stay up
  • Off_itOff_it
    fair enough. no offence taken.

    So, what odds do you want to offer me steve?
  • northstandstevenorthstandsteve
    cheers morts

    [cite]Posted By: oohaahmortimer[/cite]get on betfair that's where it's at... 5-4 to back us to go down or 5-7 to back us to stay up

    But I can go on Betfair anytime I like Oohahh. If I have a bet with you it will be more "special". So, what odds do you want to offer me?

    I think it's bizarre we're currently better odds to beat the drop than go down ........!

    [cite]Posted By: supaclive[/cite]I think it's bizarre we're currently better odds to beat the drop than go down ........!

    Jump on it then mate, if you are confident. Bookies f-up sometimes, the trick is to spot when. You're obviously ITK so get on.
  • supaclivesupaclive
    The bookies will no doubt be thinking "charlton - premiership side less than 2 years ago - they're too good to go down"

    I invest my money in myself Off It - pays much better rewards - gambling is a mug's game ....
  • oohaahmortimeroohaahmortimer
    my money's on betfair off it , i'm getting odds on there , i'm getting 7 to 5 which is a good price i think for our current positon
