Match Day Thread Hull City v Charlton - Now postponed

Terry drives the supporters mad with his selections and subs'. Hope that helps.

 

Pennington should give his wages back after Saturdays performance.
I can't recall a performance from a professional footballer as bad.

 

Terry's said it's all fine so don't worry about it. If the players try a bit harder and the fans ask him to wave a bit more then we'll win.

 

After Saturday’s display and in the cold light of Monday it does appear that Terry will survive. The Charlton game is now the biggest we have had for many a long day. Lose this badly and I fear we will be down. I hope we set up for a side that is hard to beat. Got to be 4 ,4, 2 for me. Keep two strong lines and rely on KLP to grab a goal at the other end. Play hard and strong with Stewart, if fit, and Batty in the middle breaking up play. Whatever happens I hope the side can look to restore some pride which is badly needed. Get hammered again and we are done.

 

Of topic but Bowen looked good again on MOTD and was singled out for his good play.

 

An Audi Stilena job?

 

'No one wants us to go down, including the Allams' -
Maybe but I'm still not convinced that the Allams would be too upset with another relegation. Yes, I know there is less money in League 1 but they will probably just cut their costs (yet again) and I think that upsetting some of those 'hooligan' fans is still worth an awful lot to them.

 

Terry said all those up for the fight put your hands up, so Penno did, unfortunately in our penalty box!

 

Obviously they would. Ehab thinks he can do this and be a success. Obviously they’d have to cut costs. Same as the other two clubs who go down will.

 

Come on it’s not solely down to the football!!!!

 

£50 mil?

 

I know they’ve done the 6 game offers etc but they really need to do something quickly for this game these prices are bloody ridiculous. They should be advertising on radio and hdm tenner for adults fiver for all others.

Charlton Athletic were formed in 1905 and were based at Siemen's Meadow. Siemen's Meadow was more commonly known as Brickfield due to the fact that it was regularly used as a rubbish tip. Pound Park became Charlton's base in 1908 until their move to the Angerstein Athletic ground in 1913.

Although he was at the Valley from 1945-1951, Malcolm Allison made only two appearances for Charlton before being transferred to West Ham/

The first Charlton player to represent England in a full cap international was Seth Plum.

On the 27th August 1965 Keith Peacock became the first substitute to be used in league football when he replaced injured goalkeeper Mike Rose after only 11 minutes. Season 1966-67 saw substitutions allowed for tactical purposes; although only one substitute was permitted.

Because of a proposed move from The Valley, Charlton wore light and dark blue stripes which were the colours of Catford Southend. The red and white colours were first worn in 1905 after their original kit was misplaced and they had to borrow kit from their local rivals Woolwich Arsenal.

Charlton's most common nickname is The Addicks. The most likely origin of this name is from a local fishmonger, Arthur "Ikey" Bryan, who rewarded the team with meals of haddock and chips.

Charlton was originally called Cerletone. It means 'farmstead of the peasants'.

Charlton was described by Daniel Defoe as: a village famous, or rather infamous for the yearly collected rabble of mad-people.

Spencer Perceval, the only British Prime Minister to be assassinated, was buried at St Luke's church.

In 1843, Charlton was the site of the death and burial of murdered civil servant Edward Drummond, whose assassination led to the establishment of the M'Naghten Rules for legal insanity.

According to census data, Charlton included people of every British and Irish national identity except Cornish.

Charlton Lane level crossing is the closest to the centre of the capital.

Blackheath FC were founding member of the FA, but its withdrawal began the divide with soccer and it is now the oldest open rugby club in the world.

The oldest Mulberry Tree in Britain is in the grounds of Charlton House - planted at the suggestion of Charles I in 1608 to try to establish silk-worms in Britain. Unfortunately it was the wrong type.

 

Charlton and the wheelies ?

 

Don't you fancy taking over from grant mclown

 

One bit of good news


ANGUS MACDONALD ADMITTED IT WAS HARD TO SUM UP HIS EMOTIONS AFTER MAKING HIS LONG-AWAITED RETURN TO ACTION LAST WEEK.
Not since August 2018 has the 27-year-old featured for the Tigers after seeing his involvement placed on hold by two serious illnesses. MacDonald was first sidelined by a blood clot in his calf, a setback that saw him miss almost all of the 2018/19 season, and then began a more serious battle when diagnosed with bowel cancer in the opening weeks of the current campaign.

The centre-back has successfully overcome both health scares inside a turbulent 12 months and was back in black and amber for the first time in 556 days when playing an hour in the Under-23s’ Professional Development League clash with Birmingham City, which ended in a 2-0 defeat for Jon Beale and Andy Dawson’s side.

Reflecting on his return, MacDonald said: “It’s hard to describe just what it meant to be back out on a football pitch again.

“There’s been a lot of work done behind closed doors and I’m just delighted to have made it back onto the pitch. It just felt so good be back wearing the kit again.

“It’s been a long 556 days and I’ve had to wait so long for the opportunity to do what I love doing the most again – playing football.

“I felt fresh for the time I was on the pitch and it was great to get an hour under my belt. It was just good to be involved in a game-situation again.

“It was a cold evening at the Roy West Centre. It was frustrating that I couldn’t help the lads pick up a win, but I’ll take the positives from the game from a personal perspective and move on from there.”

MacDonald will look to get more minutes under his belt when the Under-23s host Nottingham Forest on home soil later this week and, if all goes to plan, it is hoped the Winchester-born defender will be in contention to feature at first-team level before the end of the season.

“To get 60 minutes for the U23s on Friday night was a great start,” he added. “Hopefully I can get some more minutes in the bank in the coming weeks and progress towards a first-team return.

“I know that I have to be patient but I don’t want to be wrapped in cotton wool anymore. There’s been more than enough of that in my time away from football.

“My aim is to keep getting fitter and fitter every day and hopefully be back in the first-team before the end of the season. Playing in the Championship would be the dream for me this season.

“I didn’t think that would be possible at one stage but I’m going to give it everything I’ve got to be fit for at least one of them. There are nine games left for the lads – nine cup finals – and if I can play a part in any of those that would be fantastic.”
