You'd find more passion at a spelling bee. Mind you, they can get a bit heated at times. Especially if one of the contestants is American and insists on a colonial dictionary, in which case the letter "u" largely bites the dust.
"Or am I the only one who, as we head for the buffers, catches the strains of mad music drifting over from Belgium, where our absentee emperor can be heard fiddling as his South London guinea pigs burn?"
Love that article, everything he writes about us is always spot on. Man after my own heart Nolan is. You've gotta laugh else you'll be weeping inconsolably in the corner of the pub while the barmaid's on the phone to the police.
Worrying thing for me is, I don't think we have hit rock bottom yet. We're going to get properly taken apart, like 6 or 7 nil, vs on of Sheff W or Ipswich yet, imho.

Whilst Kevin's piece is very good it is generally limited to those who both support Charlton or live in the surrounding borough.
Rod Liddle's piece has the potential for a wider audience and those who are offended by his slights against a rival team and their supporters are missing the main message he is portraying of a failing Duchatelet experiment.
In general our media coverage is poor at best or non existent with little or no coverage in the papers and on Sky and I for one welcome his (Liddle's) piece and believe it was well written.
The issue of Charlton being run by a rich guy who happens to come from Belgium and destroying the soul of the club is what is the most important worry, far more that the results (at this point of our history) I would suggest. Results sometimes mask the clubs intent and as we all know under this regime we are on a slippery slope as they are hoping upon hope survival until such time talented youngsters can be either sold at a profit of take us to a higher level with the riches it brings.
We should all take our angst out on those who really are hurting the fans which is far more constructive.

My comment was primarily directed to highlight the difference between Liddles attempt at writing with humour and the genuine thing. The audience in this respect is irrelevent

Mmmmm............." Read and weep" says so much.......................didn't realise
"Duchatelet's reaction to the problems confronting Guy Luzon was to replace him with yet another of the "Gissa job" mendicants who drift within his organisation waiting for some poor sod to get the bullet, then make themselves available to step inside his shoes."

Needs to be forwarded to KM and RD as a matter of urgency. Forgot about Nigel Peasron being available.....now that would be interesting.
