Yesterday was our 108th league meeting with Pompey. They are the team we've met most.
League only
1 Pompey 108
2 Middlesbrough 96
3 Bolton 90
4 Derby 87 (88 on Tuesday)
5 Huddersfield 86
6 Sunderland 78
7 Norwich 75
= 8 Millwall & Wolves 74
10 Plymouth 74
We've played also Boro 10 times in cups but haven't had time to work out the other opponents cup games. We played Pompey in the Anglo Italian cup and Derby in the FA Cup Final.
On Saturday Curbs had a story about a Tony Cottee anecdote (or did Curbs have an anecdote about a Tony Cotte story?), that when he used to play at the Valley he would get nervous with it being a derby game and the Valley being quite intimidating, then the Red Red Robin would come on and all his angst would immediately disappear.
I'm still for keeping it though
Last Saturday? I dont remember that at all and I’m pretty sure I was tuned in for all of it. I certainly heard your WhatsApp message being read out😉
Then again, I only just worked out that Gribbo is an anagram of Big Rob, so …🤣
We could change shirts to blue, ground share with Millwall, have a Sparrow as our mascot and like Crystal Palace. Is this bloke winding us up? FFS
He asked a question about the RRR, that's all. I didn't take it as a personal affront or wind up and saw no harm in answering it. And if he asked about the other things you mentioned, I'd do the same. I doubt I'd damn his eyes and offer to meet him at dawn 😉

Only Millwall are a London side.
Pretty sure we played Huddersfield about 85 times in one season a couple of years ago.

I don’t agree with the 4 things Clive Harris said - id swop the sword badge for the Addicks but of course the valley, playing in red and the red red robin are the other 3 - the badge is more iconic than the relatively recently re discovered addicks - never heard of the addicks being a thing when I was a kid and means naff all to me and I suspect a lot of others in comparison to the badge
Is Paul Tracey a Charlton fan or did @SE7toSG3 write that?
Still needed a 78RPM of the original for the museum.
We have vinyl 45s including the one @BDL played on 5/12/92 and a gold disc version.
Its the disc that was used by Bill Prosser on that day, my first game spinning the wheels of steel was against Birmingham City on the 14th August 1993.
On Sunday Curbs told a story about how Tony Adams used to get nervous playing against us at The Valley. Then he would come out to Red Red Robin and it would instantly alleviate his nerves.

Returning to the North London Forever discussion, I was sadly at a Funeral yesterday for a friend who was an Arsenal fan, and they played North London Forever in the service which was a nice touch.
I had a few other Arsenal mates there.
When I said I didn’t know anything about it until I read about it on a Charlton forum, they exclaimed ‘“Really?” I replied “Why would I as I don’t support Arsenal”.
And that sums Arsenal fans up to me, thinking that the whole of football revolves around their team.

Well if your not up for it piss off to Millwall!
NO Keep the Red Red Robin.
