  • yea, desperately clutching at straws, hoping it'd say ' correction ... Derby 1 Charlton 6(SIX)' ! and not the other way round
  • Usually preceded by banger racing & followed by wrestling.........
  • funny as I was thinking that today as the results were coming in.
  • I remembered the other day that after the results came in on grandstand they used to do a summary of what had happened that day while bruce hornsby and the range played in the background
  • These days we get Charlton 1 (ONE) C Palace 0 like you used to get

    Man Utd 9 (NINE) Ipswich O
  • Or Liverpool 9 (Nine) Crystal Palace 0. Could happen again (please).
