Charlton Athletic and the media, Madrid daily life and the quiz team.
Saturday, October 01, 2005 Half Expected Charlton 2 Tottenham 3The reports I have read by people who were at The Valley this afternoon agree that it could have gone either way; there were problems with the referee, and the rain, and Charlton getting over confident when the score reached 2-0 after 48 minutes. Said reports are the Inspector, here, (complete with abusive comment showing the literary level of some Spurs supporters) and Mr. Wyn Grant, here. I half expected it as this week the media finally accepted that Charlton were in second place, and loads of 'experts' suddenly started to tip them to beat Tottenham, even Mark Lawrenson, so I knew things might not turn out the way I hoped.I am fearfully busy trying to remember how to be a language teacher again after managing not to think about the job at all for about three months. All good things come to an end, don't they? posted by Jonathan Blake @ 23:20 0 comments 0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home Reference Links Frankie Valley All Quiet in the East Stand (Inspector Sands) Addicks Championship Diary (Wyn Grant) New York Addick Livescore Charlton Athletic FC Latest Posts Update Digest A Little Month Hanging On Young, Gifted and ...?

The production and layout were all done by non-English speakers, and that meant that all the writing had to be done by me.
