defo not parky,i mean what has he really done wrong,he sent us all off happy with that win versus norwich,i felt lifted and biting at the bit for the new season,and with are giant mk defender and leeds best player in the ranks were ready to go,i can see us routing wycombe i truly can.
the way we beat norwich tells me parky has some tricks up hes sleeves,wonderful motivator,no problems at charlton,actually next person to moan im going to make a thread about moaning bastards going to support millwall.
August 8th I will have been married for 22 years. 22 years, now thats something to fill down about (not the fact i've been married 22 years but the fact 22 years has passed by. A lot of mainly highs and a few lows). On the up side think about the state our club was in 22 years ago and think of the positive bits we've had and still will have. The good times will always come to an end but so will the bad times.
[cite]Posted By: BigRedEvil[/cite]Not really the end. 2 weeks before the season starts and we still have Bailey, Shelvey and Racon. 3 players we all knew we needed to keep.
[cite]Posted By: BDL[/cite]Gutted to see Jon in another shirt, he's a good lad, though a terrible DJ.
It's not the end, chin up lads!!!
[cite]Posted By: Pavo[/cite]CHINS UP FFS. Having to watch us play at Smelhurst every other week, then Upton Park, clearing a derelict Valley were all much harder times. My following of Charlton started in the Smelhurst exile years, so I can't comment on earlier, but know there were even harder times still.
We have a great ground, excellent training facilities, a great youth academy (thank fcuk) and we will bounce back. It may not be next year, it may not be the year after, but we will get there and the more of us that pick ourselves up off the floor and roar our boys to victories the better.
It's time we put our shift in making the Valley become a difficult place to come to again, a fortress and help our boys achieve what they and we want to.....
Exactly!
Things are bad but it has been worse. We need to get behind the players and give them our support. Whatever will be will be.
22 years ago we were a week away from our opening fixture in division one. forest and then man utd at home our opening fixtures.lost them both and wouldn't get our first win till mid sep.
the longest spell we have had outside the 3rd division since the 1930's is 3 seasons and that was 20 odd years after falling out of the top flight
i'd be more than happy to have promotion within 3 years now
imo and the legend colin camerons this has been the worst footballing years in our history and imo i think they look like continuing yet ...
we're in the biggest amount of debt we have ever been in
not much to moan about better bury my head in the sand with my rose tinted on
[cite]Posted By: kinveachyaddick[/cite]ridiculous post from NorthStandUltra
have can now when we are back at the Valley and have 9000 STHs be worse than the days at Sellout when there was no likelihood of us coming home.
How is it ridiculous post?
Back in the 80's did we have such a large debt as we seem to have now, yes we're back home now but are 9000 people enough to keep us afloat - no.
We should be proud of our history but everyone needs to live in the now, people who harp on about the dark days, Curbs etc need to wake up, that was then and this is now.
We keep rattling on about how we left home etc, yes we did but the people at the time did what they had to do & got the club out of that position, this is what we must do now.
Back in the 80's we were minutes from going completely out of business, then left our home ground, Peter Shirtlift probably saved us going to the wall again in a few minutes in Birmingham.
There was even an attempted winding up order by the inland revenue in the 90's.
What's the problem now? You're not getting your fix of 24/7 news form the club? Yeah it's shite on the pitch, but if you want to jack it in now, then fine, laters.
[cite]Posted By: Rothko[/cite]There was, before Bury knocked us out in the League cup, the inland revenue went for one, remember it being on page 6 on the news in brief on Ceefax

Think people need some perspective.
I hope we can be saying that on 1st September.

was there?
i just don't remember the winding up order.
did we get £750k from newcastle
and did lennie and west ham bid around £250k ??
There is no loyalty at all these days as players chase the shilling and that is wrong because love for your club and pride in your achievement feeds the soul. Jon spends most of the season injured, earning by our standards a small lottery win but returns the favour by leaving us...and in my book not 'earning' his dosh at all. Magnify that tenfold and you have Michael Owen's saga at Newcastle!
It makes me wonder what the old puritans would have done, like Bobby Charlton. Would he have manipulated a move to Spain aka Ronaldo? We will never know but it does point to capitalism gone mad and as I write this I hear that our pensioners are amongst the poorest in Europe.
At the end of the day it is managements fault for allowing him to run out of contract time. I can only guess that Parky/Pardew did not value him enough as a defender.
Michael Owen = 3 years at Newcastle, most of which he was injured, having cost £16M
Don't really see your comparison TBH.
What Tavern said.
