London Football Team of The Year - According to The Evening Standard

Covered EndCovered End
in General Charlton
London football team of the year - Charlton Athletic

"Okay, so Chelsea became the first London team to win the European Cup or the Champions League, but their off-field antics this year have been a real turn-off. Chris Powell led Charlton back to the Championship as champions after a tough first season in charge, earning my vote for team of the year."
(I bet you weren't expecting that).

    ha, you've got to laugh.

    Nice an all that, but a London club won the FA Cup and the Champions League.........

    I'm surprised that they know who we are but choosing Charlton avoids streams of complaints from all the Arsenal/Spurs/Chelsea/West Ham fans that the sub-standard is pro-(insert name of "big london club"

    I reckon they're way more Spurs leaning.

    Great shout - is that one individual Standard writers vote or the paper as a whole ?

    They are way more Spurs leaning.

    Who cares where their loyalties sit? A major media publication has just deemed us the 2012 Football team of the year for London - which is brilliant recognition, regardless of your opinion of the paper itself.

    It's just one columnist, not the whole paper.
  • se9addickse9addick
    Yep that's what I thought - still great though, and bloody well deserved !

    GH obviously does since he mentions it every time the standard is mentioned on here.

    Only Charlton fans can see their team win some praise and complain that they don't deserve it

    Had a couple of Arsenal mates text me about this when they saw it in the paper tonight. Really is great that this is out there.

    Good to see a journalist putting some serious thought in to his selection rather then just looking at who won the biggest prize.

    Perhaps he is trying to make a point that there is more to a football club than squillions of quid or "fans" from 250 miles away, Nols?
