Depends how you view Twitter I suppose. I like that our media team can make a joke on there and it’s not just used to provide a news service. There’s still a line an official account shouldn’t cross, but I don’t see a need for them to be serious 100% of the time.

I would rather the cheap gags than the "we was robbed" match comms we sometimes get. After the 5th or 6th "Ref how is that not a pen" tweet of the match it gets a bit ott.
Most people have only seen Charlton twice at Wembley in their lifetimes. On this occasion we won in the 94th minute in front of the biggest congregation of Addicks in decades.
If that doesn’t count as one of our greatest days, then you must have been following a different club from the Charlton I know!

This. Obviously every club's fans are biased to an extent, but I find if a bit cringey how deluded they can be in games sometimes. If you believe everything the club tweets, we should have won every game 4-0 and had 3 penalties each week.
That said, some of their banter has been brilliant and I've got no problem with a bit of that as long as it's witty.

To be honest I quite like the emotional side of the tweets during games like that... Especially at away games (if I'm not watching on iFollow) as they're no doubt expressing themselves the same way that many would be feeling in the stands, whilst at the same time its no different to some of the horrible biased commentary we've heard on iFollow over the last few seasons
I get that some feel they should show a bit of control (as they're representing the club), there was a good discussion on twitter last season when Jimmy Stone messaged the twitter account during a match when they'd moaned about a referee
Without doubt though its by far the best twitter account for match updates that I know of... You go on other accounts during a game (to get their perspective) and they're barely commeting (Sunderland are one), whilst if you go on the accounts of Liverpool and its down right embarrassing, i.e. I think there was one game where they didnt even bother to tweet they'd scored

The reason I asked, Mutts, is because the Netflix team's remark was more likely than ours to wind up a Mackem reader, but it is clearly part of their Twitter strategy (as first created by Paddy Power), and our guys are responding in spirit.

Imagine being offended by a light hearted joke that is in our favour based on one of the greatest days in our history.
Yes it will probably come back to bite us, but who fecking cares? Really?
I would not describe the league one final play off win as one of our greatest days in our history. Not to say I didn't have a wonderful day.
Well it’s in my top 3 and I’ve been watching Charlton for over 40 years .
Well that is a subjective thing, doesn't make it one of the clubs greatest days in its history. There are 114 years worth of CAFC history to choose from, much of that spent in the top flight, not division three.
I'm not taking away from how much I enjoyed it, both that and the play off legs that I attended. I might go as far to say I enjoyed the second play off match more. These were phenomenal/emotional days out for any CAFC fan.

I would put Wembley 2019 ahead of 2000 and 2012 personally. I’m not just talking about honours, I’m talking about specific days/moments. I would also put it above the Arsenal win too.
We won won a final at Wembley with 6 seconds to go! I’d take that over coming 1st or 2nd (automatic promotion) as far as special moments go. The footballing world was talking about Charlton that day. They weren’t talking about Luton or Barnsley on the last game of the regular season.....

We've got our ownership problems yet can still get promoted over sides ran properly - What does that say about them?
