    A few years ago I was on Ithaca, at a harbourside bar I asked for a Mythos, A beautiful young waitress, shook her head and then said what I thought was "I have vagina"
    Moments later she brought me this.

    Did you ask for a taste before you bought it :smile:

    Don’t happen tomorrow, it won’t happen at all I’m afraid.

    I am struggling to understand why LB has not been appointed manager yet. That was what he implied when he said he would carry on as caretaker back before the pre season tour. Paraphrasing but it was along the lines of the owner said we’d sit down and discuss that before the start of the season if the takeover wasn’t complete. Well unless he’s appointed tomorrow I’m not sure where that leaves us.

    Precisely. I said this on the Lee Bowyer thread.

    In a total mess, is where we are left!


    I'm glad I believed those who said months ago this wasn't going to make it to completion, feel a lot less let down than I imagine I would have!

    It's still a disaster though, another season of RD, great.

    I can't share what I wish on RD but I can think it and, believe me, I, like others, am thinking it more and more. I completely despise the Cnut!

    Where Charlton is concerned, I do try to remain ever the optimist but I gotta admit it seems its either bad news or no news which in this case, is the same as bad news!

    Level footing is needed so quickly it's scary! We DO need players and with this apparent injury to JFC, we need to spend some money soon even if its for a good loan signing.

    As thin as our squad is, I look at it and think there are worse teams out there so dont think we will get relegated but more in fact just be there to make up the numbers which would be a massive disappointment.

    Just have to wait and see what happens but we/Charlton need a massive pick me up soon!

    Oh and fuck off Roland.

    Well put Mutt.

    The man is ill! Without doubt he's a megalomaniac who believes that he is more important and more powerful than what he really is. This manifests itself in his 'control-freak' behaviour when it comes to our football club. Money clearly isn't his issue and I've no doubt whatsoever that he genuinely gets off on the tangible pain that he is causing us all at the moment.

    What really frustrates me is, when it ends (and it will, sooner or later), he will just be able to slope away once again into his freakish monotonous obscurity without any recourse to what he has done to our club.

    The thought of him not being held accountable and being able to go on to his next 'venture' unchallenged makes my blood boil, possibly more that anything else.

    I rarely use this awful word but I truly do 'hate' the arrogant, narcissistic, senile imbecile.

    A thin squad needs a massive slice of luck to survive we now have an anorexic squad with 4/5 long term injuries ---a caretaker manager---- no money-----and no one ---willing to take us over.


    This season football wise is dead already-----just meet mates and remember when we could compete in the third level of football

    Tragic

    Sale of Charlton - (Giving The Mousetrap a run for its money)

    I said before as long as the mousetrap is the play and not the game. As that took ages to set up and in the end it was really shite.

    Click on it to read it. Basically says Keith Harris has been trying to find new investors so the takeover can go through, and that it’s unclear if that’s happened. If it hasn’t happened it says it’s in danger of collapsing.

    It's not going to happen is it?

    Another season, for me, of no live football?
    No. I'm going to watch the Hamlet or Slough depending on fixtures.

    I hope RD sells and I can get back to the Valley but I think that's more and more unlikely.
