Look boys and girls, we aint gonna win the cup again for a long time, if ever. Right so what does it matter if we lost to NV. I would rather we lost to them than Palace or the Spanners!!! However I just dont care about the cup's, 1 of the top 4 always win (Portsmouth excepted).
So we had our first loss to a non league side, which team hasn't lost to a non league team? we lost to welling pre season a while back.
What worries me about cup games is that we could lose our best players through injury or suspension, (Semedo could have gone for a second late challenge). As a club we need promotion not a cup run. We have no players injured after today. Yes we were utter tosh, it happens get over it. Parkinson will have to win us over again, lets hope he can. I dont give a toss about the JPT thats coming up, the league is all that matters. If we get promoted we will all look back and smile.
That said Izale McCloud should be tied up put in a canvas sack and lobbed of the Woolwich ferry!
Have a nice week!!

I give a f**king toss we have a winger who can't cross
i give a f**king toss we have strikers who spend all game getting nowhere near the ball
i give a f**king toss as I spent my hard earned money paying £12 for a ticket, £60 for pertol, getting up early on a Sunday morning and driving 500 miles round trip to watch that dross.
He's rightly angry. I honestly don't know why he goes except that he's a loyal diehard fan and so it's hardly any surprise that he has this point of view.
It's stupid to ask 'do we really care?' after the match - that's a loser's attitude.
That's complete bollox. Of course it matters.
It might not bother you that we were outplayed by a non league side side but it certainly bothers me!
I guess if you are under a certain age, say 30, you would probably be ambivalent to the Cup, since the romance & tradition has been slowly & deliberately killed off by the Champions League nonsense becoming the be-all & end all.
For me, its still the ultimate leveler & in practically no other competition in sport could a bunch of part-time butchers, bakers & candlestick makers stick it to a spineless, gutless bunch lead by a clueless manager!
OK, so if we ever get to the semi-finals or Wembley I expect you to be doing something else like going shopping.
What a load of crap.
I'm with Canada addick. The FA Cup means more than the Champions League which non-Champions win and isn't a league. At least with the FA Cup you 'get what it says on the tin'.
How can you say it's not important - it's what holds us above those mugs down the road.
Oakster - I'm well over 30, I dont watch Chumps league, yes the FA Cup is great for non league yeams to giant kill, its not the greatest cup competition anymore the CL is, but at the end of the day who would you rather be, Charlton or NV?
What kind of reality? The reality is that it's part of our history and something to be proud of. I'm glad I don't live in your reality where some stupid money making new competition which you claim not to even watch is more important than the competition the team you support actually enters and has won.
(a) lost to a non league team
(b) not only lost but played appallingly
(c) the above was broadcast live on national tv
Completely embarassing. Where the hell is your pride ?
I'd rather win the FA Cup because I dreamt about it as a boy, long before the play-offs even existed.
It's an honour to win - the play-offs are just a promotion which should be earnt by finishing in the top two.
And if we got to the final I'd want us to compete and win. Unrealistic now maybe but not so only five years ago, and this was something that constantly frustrated me when we were a good Premiership team.
Now I want us to progress, get a big team and pull off our own shock, and make some money (which strangely we can't make in the CL because we can't enter it).
Strange that you can see the joy a shock brings to NV without wanting it yourself.
I'll be frank: I hate people who say 'times change' with regards to a negative change when the only reason it changes is because of the apathy of that same person and his like.
As for the rest of your post I think it's equally a load of bollocks.
Sorry, I'm not normally this rude on here but this is really pissing me off and off logging off once I've clicked on 'add your comments.' So you can call even me a c*** if you want but I won't be here to reply. I'll be in bed dreaming of the year 2017 again (the year I have always dreamt we'd win it)
I think he's tired!! ;o)
So the players know the importance of the Cup vs League ? Why have we played equally badly in the League for the past few weeks then ?
Plus whatever competition it was, millions of people watched us on tv and wondered which was the league team and which was the team of part-timers.
We had enough of being a laughing stock last season. This season we might be in a lower league. But at least people stopped laughing at us. Until today...
We seem to be losing our way again.
Next week will be a key indication if we really have a team that can challenge in this league. Today was back to our worst.
What is important is the MANNER of the defeat. No desire or relish for the battle with few exceptions and then, allegedly, not even having the class to acknowledge the travelling fans.
Parky needs to sort the attitude out and quick!
