    The owner's been great with me - I have a great bunch of lads - injuries have taken a toll - we know what a derby win means to the fans - I hope to get a few in during the January window......

    "Previous people maybe used the problems to cut corners"

    - Protests footage.
    - A bit of a background on the issues at Charlton, protests and the desire for Roland to pack up.

    Karl's Thoughts:

    - On the initial vibe: it doesn't feel chaotic, "first reaction: it's brilliant"

    - On the unrest: "certain people may have used the problems to cut corners, rather than focus on themselves"??

    - On the fans: "I just hope I can do them proud."

    - Players not training on Christmas day, psychological benefit of Christmas day surpasses that gained by training.


    That was it! A bit shit to be honest, a complete non-feature. Bizarre?

    Non interview. "I hope I can do the fans proud" and he believes the "pyschological benefit of players spending Christmas day with the families sees them turn up on Boxing Day at 3pm ready to repay the belief shown in them." That was it.

    Regarding cutting corners may have been talking about certain players

    This is the problem with modern football and the existence of social media....everything gets over analysed to death. Curbs and his predecessors probably came out with a load of waffle on the eve of a derby and most fans probably disregarded it if they even were aware of it.

    This! What did people expect, the whole news to be devoted to us? It was only going to be a two minute slot which was only ever going to be a very brief analysis. Although not sure about the cut corners comment KR said the right things and hope he does make the fans as proud as they can be in the circumstances.

    He didn't say anything. But we did see a lot of pigs on the pitch, which was nice.

    It was the pigs on the screen that captured my attention before realising it was a story on us.

    Agree it was a bit odd to bother. Arranged by her I reckon. I know people will criticise but that isn't the forum for him to criticise the regime.

    I completely get your point - and RodneyCharltonTrotta's - but it's just a waste of 4 minutes on the news isn't it really? We're a pretty niche team as far as London is concerned, so the coverage is always welcome... but it's just weird.

    It's not like it's really anything about the club or anything important - i.e charity work etc. It's literally "here's 4 sentences off of Charlton manager". You can't even argue that it was about the SE London derby, because that fixture was only mentioned in passing very quickly.

    All he's done is say what's expected of him: that he's happy here, and he hopes to do the fans well. Other than that there was a cryptic comment about other people cutting corners, and a sentence about giving the players Christmas day off.

    Did I hear him say that he doesn't like kittens or fluffy ducklings?

    "Certain people may have used the problems to cut corners..."

    Could this comment refer to the underwhelming portion of chips?

    The editor decided to contextualise the piece in relation to the protests which keeps the angst in the news.

    Is Robinson any easier to understand than Luzon ? He's got verbal diarrhoea.

    He certainly likes the sound of his own voice, I hope we do the talking on the pitch tomorrow

    "certain people may have used the problems to cut corners, rather than focus on themselves"

    Is that why our corners are so bad?

    So, nothing less than 3 pts on Boxing Day.

    He's not saying anything. Just making a noise for Duchatelet.

    IMO, It's the sort of cryptic bs that a work oppo might come out with after a few sherberts on the Christmas do when talking about the firm. Say it in your head, in a David Brent voice and picture David Brent doing a wink after he says it and you'll get what I mean.

    .....but I personally think he would probably do alright with the right backing
