In recent weeks I have avoided posting on here as I don't think I could add anythin consructive.
I have just got in from 5 hours on the beer so apologise if this turns into a rant.
Anyone that knows me will agree that I care about this club - I currently feel sick inside. Pardew has reduced us to a hollow non-entity. I actually don't care at the moment. I go to games and have to find it in myself to get worked up. We are pathetic. No leadership, no guile, no warriors no nothing.
I have never been ashamed to tell someone who my club is. Now I am. My first game was 1979 and I am struggling to remember a worse run of form/team.
The blokes that run out at the moment need to take a long hard look at themselves as does the manger. I haven't been this low since losing 4-2 at home to Southampton at Selhurst many moons ago.
What scares me the most is that I see no way of turning this round. The players are not prepared to spill blood for their manager and the vast majority of fans have turned. They want the manager out. Generally our fan base IMO is too nice. We don't give out enough stick, we sit and take crap week after week. I hate to advocate it, but we have every right to be nasty now. We pay good money to watch this team and we are served up with the footballing equivelent of offal.
We deserve better.
I loved Pardew as a player. It upsets me to think about how I consider him as a manager. Quite frankly he is an self centred arse who seems to believe that he can do no wrong.
I am asking him to look in the mirror and ask himself if he can justify walking out at the training ground on Monday?. Can he? No he can't/ If he has an ounce of decency he will walk and cost us no more money. If he won't fall on his sword the board need to force the issue. If you are reading this Mr Chappel please be bold and out him. I know there are financial implications, but what are the implications of another relegation?.
I am at the point where I think I am going to abandon my team. I don't want to sit and watch something I love become a laughing stock. The "Charlton Pathetic" comments from Tuesday night sum it up for me.
We are a team in terminal decline. It isn't too late and the players are better than 21st place. However, the manger isn't. We are apaidly becoming a laughing stock. That hurts. Our last few performances wouldn't have held up in the conference.
If you think anything of this club Pards walk away. Bury your ego and think abouth the 20 odd thousand that live and breath this club.
I don't want to walk away (I know I people will call me fair weather) but season ticket or not at present I can think of 100 things I would rather be doing on a Saturday afternoon. That hurts.
Night night.

But it doesn't get any lower than this for the reasons you said.
That's why I'm still up half an hour after I said on a post somewhere else that I was off to bed. Too upset to sleep right now. I only hope there's someone else can't sleep tonight and is currently tossing and turning while he resolves to do the decent thing...
