This Is All Getting A Bit Silly Now

Please can we stop all this nonsense about "Sir Chris". I see even the official site is getting on the act with it now. I used to find the odd Sir Alan and Sir Clive comment irksome, but the overuse of Sir in the last couple of days is really doing my head in. There's only one Sir and that's Sir Maurice.

    I think you do an injustice, sir!

    What about Sir Henry Irving?
    Now that's proper, Charlton.

    Right, Henry?

    Yeah let's keep football moving towards the boring, soulless, passionless and sterile corporate industry it has become and squeeze any last ounce of joy and innocent exhuberance that may remain out of it.


    Health and safety political correctness gawn mad i tell thee ;-)

    I had to call of my teachers sir and had no respect for them. I have maximum respect for Sir Chris though and will continue to refer to him in that way!

    I'm with you mate, it's vomit inducing.

    St Christopher anyone?

    Someone with a smile and heart as big as Chris' deserves a Knighthood, gestures such as giving up his Christmas morning to visit a very ill young Charlton fan in hospital are enough to be deserved 3 letters before his name in my book.. i'm very Sirry for thinking this. ;o)

    I agree, it's sad and disrespectful to those that have actually earned it.

    To have some fans do it is sad enough, but for the club to 'give' one of it's employees a knighthood is just ridiculous.

    Totally agree. It is disrespectful to such honourable Knights of the realm and upstanding pillars of British society as Sir Fred Goodwin and the like.

    Shame on us.

    No.

    If Mark Thatcher and Fred Goodwin can get knighted, then why not Chris Powell?
  • TELTEL
    Getting a Knighthood is totally meaningless when twats like Elton John are given titles. Enough said in my books.

    Are you a Victor Meldew type character?

    He is the epitome of Gentleman, he is respected by 99.9% if not 100% of all that he represented as PFA chairman, his community presence always to the fore and he gave his all as a Charlton player - yes, for me arise Sir Chris.

    Mark Thatcher hasn't been knighted.

    Neither has Chris Powell.

    However, I'm pretty clear which of these two deserves to be.

    Sir Maurice has a dog called Charlton. Fact.

    [cite]Posted By: WasCharleyOne[/cite]He is the epitome of Gentleman,.

    And that was the derivation of the name, I think. I'm pretty sure it started as 'Gentleman Chris' or 'fotball's top gent' or some such. Which let's be honest, sounds bloody stupid. So it became 'Sir Chris'.

    Really can't see why anyone has a problem with that.

    Do you also object to King Kenny, as a gross insult to the Windsors and the Kongs ?

    True, but he has the title as an inheritance from his father as a baronet.
