You know....Little spotty fella, got the ball then spun around in circles a lot, got booed for some reason, tried to play us on his own, we all asked him the score...you know the chap, one question...has he won anything in his career since he left SE7?
Just thought I'd ask!
Staying up? OH-PHUCKIN-YES!!

The Premiership with Chelsea.
Anyway, I'll take your "nonsense" and raise you a piffle!
The days of my complete hatred of Parker are over but he must realise now that he made a huge error leaving us when he did and going to Chelsea for a wasted three years. If he had stayed till the end of the year and been our fulcrum then he would have got a move to one of the other big clubs and had a much better chance of getting a regular spot which he never had a prayer of doing at Chelsea.
So, no medals for Spotty and he probably will never get one unless he gets a move to one of the big four which looks a bit unlikely.
He seems to have gone off the boil for the second half of the season.
That's his Charlton pedigree showing through! ;-)
Did he get a medal though? You have to appear in ten league games I think and I'm not sure he did, unless they count unused subs these days!
The poor lad..he was only on £15k a week at Charlton, although I did hear that he was down to his last Aston Martin.
I'd have had no problems with him going at the end of the season, just as I had no problems had he left the previous summer when Chelsea first came in for him. But he chose to leave while the club that had nurtured him from a school kid through to a professional was enjoying its best ever season and looked set for European football. He spent ten odd years at Charlton and the club did a good job on him, helping him turn his talent into reality. Charlton could have overplayed him as a teenager and he had several stretches out the game then with injury, at each one the club were patient and out his needs and career first. He turned his back on that and an achievement of getting Charlton into Europe in favour of a short-term personal gain - at the end of that year there would have been offers and if not he had a five year contract at Charlton to fall back on. Playing at Chelsea may have made him rich - in two years he earned several million quid, but he played just 15 times. Part of my annoyance with him going was that I knew he'd never get a game there (at least not while Lampard and Veron etc were fit) and that maybe Chelsea were buying him to prevent us from playing him, of those matches he did play at Chelsea he was mostly stuck on the wing and wasted.
Someone will be dredging up the old Valley Gold debate again soon.
