Finally a bit of recognition from the Fourth Estate. About time too.

    Nice to see CAFC in the news but got to say that article reads like it was written by a kid on work experience

    Which is what his byline pic suggests!

    It wasn't the conservatives either, was it, now I think about it?

    You miserable so and so's. We all complain about lack of recognition in the Press, and the minute we get it you become critics. My thanks to the lad, well done.

    Quite a patronising article, perpetuating the myth re why Curbs went. The comments re black managers are very strange too. Lawro comment is funny.

    Don't seem to remember those nasty local politicians being "conservative" TBH ! Still, don't let your own political prejudices get in the way of a patronising article.

    Solly all, tough week, overly critical of what is clearly a positive piece. I'll give myself the standard 20 lashes when I get in tonight

    Rubbish article from a rubbish journo for a rubbish paper.

    Probably some northern monkey who gets a gold star for having a go at those nasty tories.

    Don't know about work experience but his byline pic suggests he's on something!
    And, well, "Daily Mirror in blame Conservatives for something done by Labour" shock!

    What an odd piece - whilst it's clear that he likes our club, he clearly didn't do his homework on our history, did he?

    Rather strange trying to make political points out of it; especially when you are spectacularly wrong about the central point of your piece as well!

    Good journalists are like hen's teeth aren't they?

    Plenty of errors (we had two years in the championship for example) as is the case with many journos these days it seemsbut broadly supportive and a bit of recognition for once.

    Hoping this was going to be about the Spencer Davies Group.

    probably was to start with
    If that's part of his journalism BTEC then should get a nice mark.

    I liked the piece. All positive I thought. I just don't understand the negative comments about it. Damned if you do and damned if you don't it seems.

    Chris Powell is black again, just as we thought he was being recogonized for being just a great manager and human being regardless of the fact that some middle-class white journo feels better when he mentions his race.

    What a nice article from a young bloke from the north. Talk about nit picking... Blah blah, Labour, blah blah Black, blah blah Myth... FFS what do you people want????

    What? That Charlton were good, then ignored when they went bad and now are of their way up again, and that the writer is happy about it. Where is that wrong?

    For the record the local Tories were verbally supportive of The Valley Party but little else, mainly because the few voters they had in he borough were miles away and would not be affected by the club returning home.

    Why should the Mirror be any different from all the rest of the tabloids? They all put their Tory slant on things, the Mirror is the only one on the other side. Dan Davis is about right.

    Well the Indy article is better on why the current team have been so successful but this one is much more about the club and the fans. It is generous and warm hearted. What's not to like?

    Yeah but it was qualified: "...some fans..." and that was true, some fans were calling for Curbs to leave. Usually the broadcasters like to pretend it was the majority, but let's not pretend no-one was saying it either.

    I think it makes wonderful reading personally.
