I just stood there slightly shellshocked not quite believing it had happened. I loved Rob Elliot's reaction at the end more than made up for nobody doing the Chris Powell tunnel thing.
I don't think I fully believed it until I met an euphoric AFKA in the gents!
Last night was the most animated I have ever been at a Charlton game. I am usually very reserved and restrained but last night I was up and down like a whores drawers!!
Shouting, effin and jeffin, all the emotions.
But seeing Robbie and Murty celebrating as they did at the end really got me - some of these guys are hurting and that means a lot more to me than the overpaid wastrels of the past few years
I was very nervous for the whole match - but a started to feel really sick at about 75/80 mins. I just had visions of something going wrong.... How wrong was I.
kinda exploded on the final whistle was so relieved, sayin that I had just stood in the same spot refuseing to move or talk to anyone from bout the 30th min mark, inlcuding no half time piss/pint/pie, didn't wanna jinx it, I have also 'retired' the clothes I was wearing until the next home game - gonna look a mug in my suit on a sat but who cares, I will try almost anything for us to go on a winning streak
I just looked to the heavens and bellowed out the biggest scream of relief I could muster. As for the crowd to sing "We are staying up" I did say to those around me, "Don't get carried away, we've won but staying up is still a mile off." As for the Palace mugs saying we celebrated like we'd won the cup I think we'd have gone that mad if we'd beaten anyone, 3 months and 23 days is a long time without a league win but doing it against Palace was extra special. I just hope we can kick on from here, a win at Burnley and a string of favourable results is a must to close the gap at the bottom and have a chance of survival.
I have all but lost my voice. When we scored my brother and my mate sitting in the row behind me just went mental, I accidentally ripped a massive hole in my brothers jacket. When Chris Dickson passed that ball across the face goal (I've no idea who nearly got the touch) I collapsed in despair. When the ref called 5 minutes of extra time I hit the start button on my stopwatch. It was hell.
Today I keep having the occasional smile to myself.
I was surprised at my own reaction, first after we scored, standing up and bellowing at the Nigels to "have sex and travel" (insert a well known phrase), whilst waving my fist. And again at the end of the game!! The bloke in front looked around at me with a quizical look as if to say " aren't you the bloke who every week, lectures his son about not using the "f" word?"....:o)

And the rest, as they say, is history ..........
Shouting, effin and jeffin, all the emotions.
