If he's got any sense, he doesn't need to say a word, just beam with a big cheshire cat grin. If he really wants to make our chairman squirm over that infamously hubristic remark, the silent approach will force home the point far more effectively. But as he's got no sense, he probably will not be able to resist mouthing off...
Which reminds me. Don't know if any of you picked up on this at the time, but about 18 months ago we interviewed SJ for a Paul Weller cover story in Uncut (where I'm contributing editor on a consultancy basis). The piece was basically lots of celebrity fans talking about what Weller's music meant to them. Jordan is a big fan so we asked him, and he said something to the effect that he loved Weller so much he had 12 copies of his greatest hits album, one to keep in each of his dozen motors. We printed the quote just as it was, because it made him sound like such a twat... LOL...
I did say so a few months back - hope that some of our fans are happy now that we relegated Palace a few years back and keep reminding them - whether we play them or not.
Just because 'what goes around comes around' doesn't mean we were wrong to wind up palace about how we helped send them down.
We enjoyed our time winding them up and now we will get some in return on the 27th. I'm sure we'll survive. It's what being a football supporter is all about.
No part of the fun is the banter... give it and take it thats what I say!!!
I am getting pelters from 3 Nigels (no offence Nigel W) who work here, however 1 in particular does not have a clue, on Monday he said can't wait for the game tomorrow, we are gonna stuff you and goin down goin down an all that stuff. He came in yesterday with is stripey Nigel (no offence Nigel W) shirt on stating that he was going to the game and that etc. etc. Funny enough he's not in today.
At the end of the day, when we go down we will remember them, we will remember them!!
I don't remember to many of our stripey cousins ever missing an opportunity to have a dig at us when we were on our uppers and sharing their "ground" or when they beat us in the play-offs, it was only to be expected, all we did in 2005 was give them a bit back,what is happening now doesn't lessen my enjoyment of that sunny day at the Valley. This year obviously presents them with a super opportunity to have a pop at us, c'est la vie it's only to be expected! Just as well most of our fans have a reasonable enough sense of perspective to know that things at our club are not exactly rosey (our team is frankly not that great!) and our sense of humour and unique take on things that bound us together then does the same now. Obviously I don't take the piss out of Palace as much at the present time as I would fully expect them to take advantage of our plight! I do however let them know (when I get stick) that when Palace have managed top flight football for as long as we have then their digs will have more credence, until then their comments mean nothing much at all. Football has cycles and this is our bad one, who's to say in five years time where Palace or Charlton could be status wise?
No offence taken, Bibble... My parents had no idea when they named me 55 years ago what connotations the name would take on several decades later. Thought about calling myself by a clever nom de plume when I joined the forum but I couldn't think of one and decided 'sod it, that's my name so I'll stick with it and brave all the teasing' !!!
Must admit i have been getting pelters from Nige who works here, and is an avid reader of this site (yo nige how it going!) but as bibs says it does always go around, and it will again, not for a long while mind, but we did gloat on that sunny May afternoon! Anyway he told me the song they are going to be singing it goes a little like this 'sha lalalalalalalala shalalalalalalala shalalalalalalala who's fecking laughing now' to which i think is quite funny for nigels, but he dont thunk so, he wanted 3000 stripeys to just stand there and point and laugh!! Let em have there day, it will only come back to haunt them as it will do us!!
I have not even been thinking about next Tuesday, its going to be a hard night to take. I too have a scum Nigel fan at work who does not even go to the games but keeps saying things like " I was on the way in today and was realised I was reading the paper upside down, Charlton were top! I soon realised my mistake!"
"Small child cries out to his mum and calls her into the garden, he points at his Charlton top on the floor and asks her why its there? She replies: Someone has stolen my pegs!"
Its all banta though. Deep down the they know what they really are!
What goes around, comes around and in the late 70s/team of the 80s they were top dog. Then they got relegated and we improved and got to ground share and that really set the antipathy off, I don't remember many Palace fans sympathising...

Make the most of it while you can, i say!
Exactly. You can't not sing in case it comes back to haunt you. I also remember singing 'we'll never play you again' in the promotion year after Kitsons winner over there.
What we do need to remember though (i know i'm grasping at straws here) is that they got thumped at the weekend so aren't in great form either.
A Nigel i know is absolutely convinced that it will just their luck for us to end the run against them.
This is all very well but I've got a tenner riding on this game with a Nigel , no offence again NW,(double or quits from the first game). He's asking for it in advance!

Doesn't scan very well, does it? ;-)
It's times like this when i'm very glad I live a long, long way away, and don't see many Nigels on a daily basis!
I've had best part of 10 years gloating over my Palace & millwall mates. No one can ever take that away.
People should do what I do now that the boot is on the other foot. Ignore them, refuse to talk football.
Can-addick, they are called Nigels because thats what they are. Spotty as well.
I also remember Denis Law sending Manchester Utd down and Liverpool losing to Wimbledon in the FA cup final, sadly neither of which will ever, ever happen again. You know it and I know it, English football as a competition open to all is dead and buried; the money from Sky coupled with and the FA handing over control of the game to those that run run the big clubs has made sure of that.

*both guesses but it just seems like that.

Perhaps I should point them towards the Charlton Life board - just to reassure them ?
;o)
Except if you are Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Bayern MUnich, AC Milan... etc etc
Their time will come :-)

...lets show we can take it too!
It won't be enjoyable, but we need to show we've still got a sense of humour.
Stranger things happen at sea, you know.

Good to have the real Oggy back, not the impostor who was so depressed and fed-up after the Shef Wed game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know it never will Kap.
Ha ha, Nigel ....... you didn't quote my smiley, though.
I just couldn't resist, hence the Monty Python line from "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life".
That Cantona clip is classic!
Who said professional footballers don't care ....... ?
I doubt any of our lot could muster the energy ;-)
There are no fans to attack.
