Curbishley and Keithy P should get the round of applause he thoroughly deserves when they emerge from the tunnel on Saturday. Yes its a big game, but no one can doubt what they have done for our club over the years, and any other viewpoint is small-minded and would make us look particularly short-term.
Once that is out the way, its on with the game, and they are just any other management team.
However, anyone who thinks the best way to approach Saturday is to boo or chant against these Charlton legends, are not true Charlton fans in my book.

if you're not in seat by by the time the players are on the pitch are you a true charlton fan?

Pardew will get a good reception prior to kick off, but i'm fairly sure he'll get a bit of east end stick about the whole hush hush allegations, especially according to KUMB.
Should be a cracking atmosphere for 90 minutes.
No presentation, no guard of honour, no highlighting over the tannoy. If he wants to walk out and wave and people applaud, so be it. But lets not force the issue.
BDL - grab pipsqueak by the collars and tell him what's expected of him !
I've written something similar for the KT this week. Polite clap is fine for Curbs and Mervyn (Peacock is in a different catagory IMHO) then get behind Pardew, especially if WHU give him stick. Let's remind them of what they have lost ;-)
The King is dead, long live the King.
why is peacock different?
I think I would want to clap Curbs by way of recognition of the service he gave us, but it would be so much easier to do that if we were sitting comfortably in mid-table, as we could afford to be charitable.
However, Saturday is a different kettle of fish altogether.
I'm thinking of taking the cowards way out and getting to my seat just after kick off. (This option also has the added bonus of allowing more time in the pub beforehand!)
actually using Manure fans is not a good example ! but you get my drift !!
As far as I'm concerned my only interst on Saturday is in CAFC 2007.
If it was anything other than v westham in a situation like this, i would give a light roun d of applause!
I went Manure, his last game and clapped him then. He'll get nowt from me ever (ok maybe if he comes back in years)
Harsh i know, but i dont care anymore.
how can you clap 1 and not the other 3? I find that bizarre.
they all helped us be a successful club. no one really knows what peacock and day individually did to help the club, as the buck stopped with curbs.
i'll clap them them for a short while on saturday i think (if i'm in my seat by then) but will save most of my energy for alan p and the team in red.
Curbs done his bit , very grateful but its in the past now , time to move on and get behind the lads bigtime
Couldn't boo him.
Saturday is bigger than this- we need to back the team and really get on the Wham players backs. Getting at Curbs will acheive nothing.
sorry MCS :-)
I like it!
I can separate Curbs the Charlton legend from Curbs the manager of our main rivals. Once the players line up for kick off I'll give him/West Ham hell and big up Pards and the boys. I'm quite happy with that.
I know it ain't the Charlton way but I ain't doormatting for anything West Ham on Saturday - no aggro, but I know what corner I stand in.
Is it the "naughty corner"?
;o)
"There has not been a day when I have not been working. When I was at Charlton I didn't take any work home but now I do."
SPLITTER!
