The Metropolitan Police, hoping for an easier week in the aftermath of Millwall versus Leeds, were caught offguard at The Valley yesterday as protests against manager Alan Pardew turned violently ugly. Seven officers needed hospital treatment for pen and sticky sweet-related injuries as the main fracas centred in the East Stand.
With Charlton six goals down after just 9 minutes, and elderly lady stood and pronounced loudly that Pardew was a 'rotter'. A similarly elderly Pardew supporter emerged telling her to 'shut her cakehole', and within seconds mayhem ensued as scarves entwined, and flasks, sandwiches and scotch eggs flew through the air, coming within yards of taking someone's eye out.
Play was delayed for eight minutes while order was restored.
Charlton fans may have lost out of a huge cash injection for their club but they can be happy that their team finally put in a performance to beat an insipid Burnley side to move up the table
Charlton beat Burnley 3-1 with goals from Andy Gray (tap in from the 6 yard box) Bailey (25 yard screamer) And a Mark Hudson Headed goal in the second Half before Burney hit a conseltation goal late on. PArdew said "the Crowd were amazing after everything that has happend this week they got behind us and made the place jumping" On a another note Mike Ashley was spotted in the north upper sporting a charlton shirt with ' I 8 millwall' on the back.
Charlton striker Luke Varney had to be taken off early on Saturday after helping stun the home crowd with a Charlton win. Each goal in his 20 minute hatrick was celebrated with "power-slide" on his knees towards the corner flag. The chaffing got so bad that he was unable to continue the match as further goals from Bailey and Ambrose roused Charlton out of their post-Zabeel depression. In a related incident, one supporter, a Mr O. A. Mortimer was treated for shock.
Charlton Athletic fans may have been the most dissapointed fans in the football league prior to thier Saturday game with Burnley but Alan Pardew's men made sure that it wouldn't affect thier season, storming to a stunning 6-0 victory at the Valley. Charlton fans can now look at the league table with a little bit more enthusiasm sitting an average 12th place in the Championship. It had been a disastrous week for Addicks fans, who saw thier potential investors Zabeel pull out of thier 20m offer for the South London club. Alan Pardew promised changes after his sides 2-0 home defeat by Bristol City mid-week and they were inspiring changes that made the Addicks shine so brightly. Non-league signing Chris Dickson made his first start in a Charlton shirt and boy did he make the most of it. Grabbing a brace and setting up two for strike parter Luke Varney sent the Addicks into an incredible 4-0 half-time lead. Burnley were shell-shocked and didn't play no better in the second half. In the 73rd minute Slevostav Todorov bagged his first for the season after neat play by young midfielder Josh Wright, who was also making his first start for the addicks. Things went from bad to worse for Burnley as former hitman Andy Gray netted in the 85th minute to send the Valley faithful home happy with 3 points and Sheik goals!
Charltons Dubai-ous take over falls flat but Addicks Hammer Burnley 4-1
Alan Pardews after match conference alluded to the Hammering of Burnley after Tuesdays shambolic failures against Bristol City. Alan said.....After suffering similiar circumstances at West Ham during my excellent time in charge, West Ham responded in the same way by beating Southend Utd in a behind closed doors fixture by a similiar scoreline. Its always good to bounce back after a minor glitch in the way my teams usually play expansive attacking and fluid passing football, and to Hammer a team in this fashion. When I was at Reading the same thing happened after a shocking result in a cup game at West Ham...so it was pleasing to Iron out the problems after this minor glitch in our succesful season and (R)eading all the totally uncalled for criticism Ive had in the past few days.
After a depressing week at last Charlton finally struck oil as they scored 5 goals without reply to Sheikh up in form Burnley,a brace apiece from Varney and Bailey and one from Bouazza gave the Addicks 3 points and a much needed lift.
Charlton, reeling from the dissapointment of the pullout by Zabeel investments were handed a boost as fit again striker Izale Mcleod scored a brace in a 3-0 Charlton win.
Manager Alan Pardew was delighted, "I love West Ham" he said in a post match interview.

Charlton, reeling from the dissapointment of the pullout by Zabeel investments were handed a boost as fit again striker Izale Mcleod scored a brace in a 3-0 Charlton win.
Manager Alan Pardew was delighted, "I love West Ham" he said in a post match interview.
Charltonlife produced a sparkling second half display to despatch Burnley supporters 4-1 before the main game at the Valley. Manager Charlton Charlie inspirational Half Time substitutions turned a 0-1 H/T deficit into a resounding home win. Unfortunately Alan Pardew could not repeat the magic as the First team fought out a dull 0-0 at the Valley later that day.
With teams below them winning and Charlton being thrashed by Burnley, the club find themselves in the bottom three and are now favourites for the drop, putting more pressure on Alan Pardew to resign. It is thought that a new takeover bid is to come from the Jim Henson Company, who are quite used to dealing with muppets, of which there are plenty at the club from the board to the pitch.
The addicks started quickly as in most of their recent games playing strong as Nicky Bailey bagged a fourth minute goal followed up by a wonderous half volley from Matt Holland in the 16th minute crashed off the cross bar and over the line.
Then burnley managed to scrape one back with the softest goal of the season but Weaver was clearly fouled in the process with blood flowing through his blonde locks he was consequently subbed for Elliott.
The second half proved to be much of the same from the addicks with Gray replaced by Mcleod to partner Varney, within seconds it was 3-1 Mcleod running from his own 18 yard box turning players left right and centre before blasting past the keeper.
Varney seemed determined and pushed up onto the last defender for the fourth and was deemed on side as he ran through to mcleod's pass tucking his shot away through the keepers legs.
In the 70th minute Dickson was brought on to replace Matt Holland with the addicks taking up a 4 3 3 formation With Dickson and Mcleod out wide and varney playing close to the last defender.
Out of nowhere dickson whipped in a cross and on the 78th minute it dropped just inside of the near post.
In the final moments after a cleared corner it was the addicks turn and Mark Hudson cleared all others in the air to head home the final goal.
6-1
Things have clearly been sheikhen up at the valley since the takeover withdrawal and the terror result against Bristol.
If Charlton continue like this may just gain promotion and with it the possibility of Zabeel's interest for any premiership future......
Striker Luke Varney repaid manager Alan Pardews faith in him by knocking out one of his critics with a powerfully struck 67th minute shot from the edge of the six yard box. The fan had earlier questioned Varneys finishing and Pardews management skills after a traumatic first half which saw Charlton go in 4-0 down at the break.
The fan, who was seated in the upper North stand and was named as Mr B. William, a retired coach driver from Turin, was less than impressed. “All I said was that Luke should get his knee over the ball when shooting to keep the trajectory down” He also added that Pardew should “Mount his bicycle and go away”. When approached by a man in a cardigan offering apologies on behalf of the club, Mr William replied “This is a right liberty. Just wait till Mr Bridger hears about this.”
Charlton won 7-6 after going 5-1 behind in the second half thanks to 5 goals from emergency striker Nicky Weaver. Pardew said “Charlton have a history of this sort of result, so when we went 5-1 down I knew it was the turning point”

Any hopes Charlton had of a morale boosting win over Burnley were tripped up when goal machine Izele McLeod fell into a pot hole in the car park and went missing for 7 hours. Four other members of the first team squad, including Nick Bailey and Nicky Weaver, missed the 3 - 0 defeat when they went in to rescue the former MK Dons Striker.
Alan Pardew commented "I'm disappointed with the result but the teamwork and commitment that the rescue team showed is just what we have been missing this season. I think we can now string a run of results together. I'm not sure what the results might be but I'm sure we'll get one from every match."
Charlton Sheik-off disappointments and roll to victory over a hapless and rattled Burnley at The Valley this weekend.
Sheik-in', Not Stirred
Hapless Charlton couldn't Sheik-off the news that Dubai investors withdrew their tentative offer to purchase The Valley club, as they succumbed to in-form Burnley this weekend at The Valley. Both on and off the pitch, the Addicks could not muster the will to victory. Despite calls to pick themselves up by their own bootstraps, the Addicks faithful could not be stirred into supporting their club. Neither a verse of "Valley Floyd Road", nor even a UK Speed-Garage mix of "Red Army" could be heard from the Club's supporters; at least not above the chorus of taunts from their Northern counterparts.
Claret's Sheik-down Par-thetic Addicks
"Bad, bad, bad" was the way one tearful Addick—referring to himself as Golfie—described the situation, before calling repeatedly for Manager Alan Pardew's head. And that was at half-time, when the Addicks led 4-0!!! Sublime football led to Pardew's men ripping into the Northerners from the first minute. Sadly, the second half saw the re-freshed Clarets put six past "lil" Nicky Weaver. One wonder's what featured in Pardew's halftime talk that managed to grasp such a humiliating defeat from such a seemingly solid chance of victory. Mind, the Club and its supporters are becoming particularly adept at managing the roller coaster of emotions that accompany this strange, modern world of inevitable insecurity. And they are beginning to show signs of fitting right in with supporters of other, more glamourous and over-achieving, big-headed clubs, like Tottenham Hotspurs and Newcastle United in calling for their manager's head. "Par-thetic" yelled "Golfie", before shouting a tirade of abuse. "We're tired of your spin you West Ham mug."
Charlton pushed the self destruct button yesterday afternoon,after a week of failed takeovers and poor results.
A Flanagan/Hales esq brawl broke out in the 82nd minute when Nicky Baily clumped Kelly Youga after blaming the bemused frenchman for allowing Burnley to score their sixth goal of this one sided affair.The result pushes more pressure Pardews way after yesterday getting the Charlton boards dreaded vote of confidence

who bagged the other?

Unfortunately Alan Pardew could not repeat the magic as the First team fought out a dull 0-0 at the Valley later that day.
Luke Varney ended his sensational run of goal scoring form by scoring Burnley's last minute of added time winner off his backside.
Pardoo enthused, "When he scores one you feel he'll get a three"
He then added "Gibber, gibber, gibber, anyone want a free season ticket for next year?"
Very good!!!
