    My time at University wasn’t entirely wasted <cheers>

    Not even the Bard could pen a tragedy that would rival Charlton spending another year in League One.

    That prospect is about as funny as the Charlton Life takeover thread.

    Hard to see us keeping a clean sheet tomorrow against the rampant over achieving Shrews.

    A high scoring draw?

    I've rejected this match in favour of Concord Rangers v Welling United.

    My decision is final.

    Final.

    Meh, I'm skipping it in preference of lying in bed all day hungover with my betting slips.

    Cant wait.

    As for the game, we have a very mixed fortune with the fiver games. Remember Exeter turning us over 3-0/3-1 some years back. Think Barnsley beat us too, could be wrong.

    My usual 1-1 prediction.

    Can't wait for the game again, need to get ourselves properly cemented in the playoff spots by the time of the harsh April run

    A prediction league from the start of this season.

    We were predicted to finish this season 6th, the Shrews 23rd <whistle>

    Karl Robinson said that Charlton are in their best form of the season heading into this game.

    Left quarter of an hour early, that was beyond dreadful, we played well in the first 2/3 minutes, then couldn't string two passes together, bored of writing how much I hate Gobinson, bored of hearing 'Robinsons red army', that was just so boring

    god that was painful. was expecting a bit of a turnout so got dropped off, which had the affect of me not being able to leave early. that was such dross. shrewsbury have bang average players but were well drilled and could adapt. the complete opposite to us. we need to switch to 2 up top. kashi needs to be dropped, he was crap today.

    surrounded by bloody kids too who had no spatial awareness!

    Next season (in League 1) will require a complete rebuilding job.

    New owner, new manager & coaching staff, & plenty of new players.

    The corpse is now rotten.

    Robinson is a bluffer.

    Reading the Mike Bassett book is all fine and dandy, calling your players (the ones you claim to ‘love’) rubbish today as he has done raises a chuckle...but at the end of the day nothing can disguise that this guy isn’t taking us forwards or even sideways. Out !!
