After three gruelling Cup Final games, it's congratulations to
@StrikerFirmani, who managed to leave Wembley with the silverware after winning the second replay in a 2-1 win over
@LeeValliant. We are awaiting news of when the open-top bus will be going through the streets of Charlton.
@56yearsofdreams fabulous run of 11 weeks scoring 2 or more came to an end in a fairly low-scoring week. This week's top scorers were
@Sonicstud85,
@Redmidland,
@redlanered,
@DyerConsequences,
@Bods64 and
@alan dugdale who scored a very presentable 5 points. Only 20 predictors fancied taking a punt on Charlton this week, and only 7 could foresee a win. Needless to say, no one saw the avalanche of four goals coming. Three weeks to go, and still a maximum of 39 points that you can win. If there's an outsider, it has to be
@DyerConsequences, who has risen from the obscurity of the National League to the Championship in four weeks. Anyone fancy a 4-0 win at Wrexham (or Wrecsam) this weekend?

As they say you need a bit of luck to get to a final and I certainly did, scrapping past a couple of opponents and in the final against @LeeValliant.
I think I have never gone more than 2 rounds in the cup before this season so goes to show you never know.
Here is hoping the real open top bus arrives at Charlton celebrating our auto promotion or if not lifting the trophy at Wembley.
Finally thanks @thai malaysia addick for running the cup alongside the league with all the time it must take.
Congrats, @StrikerFirmani.
