    Conceding too many. Summers is a lucky chancer with no talent. Going down. Need players. Chairman is selfish and won't invest. Someone stood up and ruined my view. Another oik sung a song with rude words in it. Never 12,500 there. Huddersfield were unbeaten in 238 games before and brought no fans, our support is shit and we'll only take 2 to the return fixture etc etc

    Hope someone keeps the ball so it can go in the club museum one day.

    That Hudds boss Shankly was moaning again. Loud mouth Jock knows nothing about management.

    Please don't put the score in the thread title. Some of us like to read through the match thread on a Sunday without knowing the result

    Decided to leave at 1-5 down to beat the traffic. Did I miss anything in the last 25 minutes?

    Don't know how often Ufton can play with that shoulder.

    Defence was a disgrace. Come on Trotter pull your finger out.

    Thought the catering was virtually non existent. Nobody seemed to know what a steak slice was. And my peanuts were cold.
    Also heard someone say "Bloody blimey!" at the end. I expect to hear that sort of language from the riff raff up the road not at The Valley.

    But, everything's been an anticlimax since then ;-)

    I miss the boring 1-0 games

    13 goals in a game is to much like a computer game

    Honest! I was there with my father, we went to all home games and stood at the open end

    Definitely a bug. Sort it out, Sports Interactive.

    One of my old footie coaches gave me his perspective on this match. He was one Derek Ufton. When I was 10 I was at school with his sons, which is why I had the privilege of his expert tuition.
    The time he told me about it I really thought he was making it up. I believe I took the piss out of his son Tim that his dad was some sort of fantasist. I knew his dad had played for the team I supported which I thought was pretty cool. It wasn't before I was shown some commemorative report before I believed it. That was when I learned about the fact that he only played a small part in the match with him hurting his shoulder and there being no substitutions. Derek hadn't mentioned it. You couldn't make it up that match. I'd have loved to have witnessed it.

    Not only did I have to pay a shilling for my pint, but the bloody steward confiscated my fountain pens.

    There was a chap standing next to me who didn't wear a cloth cap. Standards are dropping, I fear for future generations
  • Sorry I was having a quick fag in the toilets. We lost right?
  • Hope someone keeps the ball so it can go in the club museum one day.

    That Hudds boss Shankly was moaning again. Loud mouth Jock knows nothing about management.


    Mr Shankly had that youngster Denis Law available and didn't pick him. Rookie error.

    Summers didn't look too chipper to me at the end of the game. I hope he's not unwell. I'd see a doctor if I was him. Nip it in the bud.

    Sorry, I do not understand this comment, unless you are referring to the serious illness he died of later, if so, seems a strange way to comment on it

    All that wrist slitting on the match thread when we were 5-1 down. Bunch of drama queens. I was embarrassed.
  • Playing Solly in midfield until we were 5-1 down was a mistake.

    Glikstens wife was in the stand. Wood ya?
  • I remember being on Charlton station after Leeds had stuck six past us when a bloke who was probably in his mid forties started telling everyone that he had been at the Valley when we had beaten Huddersfield 7-6. When I asked what year that had happened in he replied "1976". Bell-end

    Missed the game due to non-birth at the time, but my Dad said it was typical Charlton. Clawed our way back into the game and tried to sit on a 6-5 lead. Most of Summers goals sound like tap-ins. Bet he never scores 5 again
