Lee Clark's Town side held on to a brave 0 - 0 draw which keeps them unbeaten this century. The certain champions are now breathing down the necks of pretenders Charlton who could only manage a lucky 3 - 0 home win and are only 5 ahead of the champions elect.
On the back of a truly magnificent performance at the Valley, the EU have told Greece to shove it and awarded the entire bailout fund to Charlton Athletic.
A long ball from Dale Stephens, deep into injury time, set-up Danny Green to beat two defenders and score the winning goal with a rocket into the top-corner as extend their lead at the top of League One.
Supporters were left bemused in the 27th minute when, with the score at 0-0, Charlton's influential central mifielder Andy Hughes started a fire in the centre circle following a challenge from behind by a Lillywhite's defender. Andy had two sticks tucked into his left sock and started to rub them together following the crude tackle. His persistence paid off as ten minutes into the rubbing, sparks ignited and set fire to the rain. Andy said afterwards that this was a tribute to his favourite singer Adele. The fire starter was promptly booked by the referee, Mr G Forks (Staffordshire) for ungentlemanly conduct and ordered to put the fire out which, by now had spread to Danny Green's hair and the tartan rugs in the West Stand. Hughes refused and a 21 man brawl ensued. One incident saw the Charlton right back beckon the Preston players on, speaking in a Chinese accent "You'll be Solly you messed with Solly". At this point Phil Brown rushed on & Solly planted a kung fu kick on his cheek leaving the youngster with a deeply tanned foot. Danny Hollands didn't participate as he was on the phone to his Nanny to ensure the triplets had settled down for their 3pm kip.
The game was then abandoned following a torrential downpour.
The Valley is regarded as one of the more peaceful football stadiums these days, after years of frustration and disappointment, but what noise there is in the ground comes from the North Stand.
The Charlton faithful were jubilant after the player they call Kermit (frenchman Kermorgant) scored two goals to clinch a comfortable 2-0 victory.
Steve Claridge is comfortable in hospital after suffering a seizure on The football League Show because he had to say something complimentary about Charlton, a club he hates with a passion.
