Conceding too many. Summers is a lucky chancer with no talent. Going down. Need players. Chairman is selfish and won't invest. Someone stood up and ruined my view. Another oik sung a song with rude words in it. Never 12,500 there. Huddersfield were unbeaten in 238 games before and brought no fans, our support is shit and we'll only take 2 to the return fixture etc etc
Thought the catering was virtually non existent. Nobody seemed to know what a steak slice was. And my peanuts were cold. Also heard someone say "Bloody blimey!" at the end. I expect to hear that sort of language from the riff raff up the road not at The Valley.
One of my old footie coaches gave me his perspective on this match. He was one Derek Ufton. When I was 10 I was at school with his sons, which is why I had the privilege of his expert tuition. The time he told me about it I really thought he was making it up. I believe I took the piss out of his son Tim that his dad was some sort of fantasist. I knew his dad had played for the team I supported which I thought was pretty cool. It wasn't before I was shown some commemorative report before I believed it. That was when I learned about the fact that he only played a small part in the match with him hurting his shoulder and there being no substitutions. Derek hadn't mentioned it. You couldn't make it up that match. I'd have loved to have witnessed it.
I remember being on Charlton station after Leeds had stuck six past us when a bloke who was probably in his mid forties started telling everyone that he had been at the Valley when we had beaten Huddersfield 7-6. When I asked what year that had happened in he replied "1976". Bell-end
Missed the game due to non-birth at the time, but my Dad said it was typical Charlton. Clawed our way back into the game and tried to sit on a 6-5 lead. Most of Summers goals sound like tap-ins. Bet he never scores 5 again

That Hudds boss Shankly was moaning again. Loud mouth Jock knows nothing about management.
Defence was a disgrace. Come on Trotter pull your finger out.

13 goals in a game is to much like a computer game

Mr Shankly had that youngster Denis Law available and didn't pick him. Rookie error.
Summers didn't look too chipper to me at the end of the game. I hope he's not unwell. I'd see a doctor if I was him. Nip it in the bud.
