"I'VE GOT A BRAND NEW COMBINE VARNEYSTAR"
Alan Pardew was full of praise for his striking partnership, in particular Luke Varney who he said could go on to as big a things as former Charlton hero Darren Bent. Varney and Chris Iwelumo combined to give Charlton a comfortable 3-0 victory in tractor land. Varney was the pick of the upfront pairing scoring two goals and assisting Iwelumo, for the second time in 3 days, for a towering header late on.

A late Iwelumo strike for the second time this week, saw Charlton sneak a win in a game their Bristol countrerparts dominated.
Calls came today to fine the two Bristol Centre backs who were sent off for fighting each other in the game against Charlton.
Charlton won the game 0-4 with goals from Reid and Thomas and a brace from Iwelumo
Charlton come from behind to record a late minute winner just before midnight. Game was delayed due to Darren Ambrose being on map-reading duties
Charlton manager Alan Pardew sung the praises of his young guns Grant Basey and Lloyd Sam following this stylish victory, whilst thanking the eager band of Addicks for lending a helping hand.
As Lloyd Sam motored down the wing with his head down, the travelling Addicks burst into their version of the 1982 classic, 'Pass to Sodje down the left hand side', and Sam duely looked up, lofted the ball to the far post for Sodje to rifle home.
To divert attention from a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Alan Pardew's Charlton side. Bristol City's chief executive revealed this morning that City have saved almost £200,000 since the smoking ban came into force. He said "City fans were prodigious puffers and our contracters were removing around one ton of cigarette butts per month on average. Since the ban has come in our cleaners have been relieved that they do not spend the majority of their time cleaning up discarded fags". He declined to comment on the leaked memo that City are now spending £80,000 a week cleaning up discarded nicotine gum from the stands.
Two goals from Bristol City defender Seb Fontaine was enough to sink 10 man Charlton in a miserable encounter at Ashton Gate.
Manager Gary Johnson who had earlier promised to show off his bottom if his young defender scored then gave the female element in the 19,234 crowd an added treat by showing his backside in manic celebrations amongst the home support.
The 100 or so visiting support from London and opposing manager Pardew failed to see the funny side.
Alan Pardews Charlton side once again showed their promotion credentials in an impressive display on a chilly night at Ashton Gate. Bristol City were over-awed by their London rivals slick passing movements and Gary Johnson could be forgiven for thinking his sides impressive start to the season was being demolished by Arsene Wengers Arsenal. After a truly awful October The Addicks have rallied after their last gasp winner at St Mary's and in this comfortbale 3-0 victory once again look the real deal for promotion.
blah blah blah
Meanwhile in the Championship there were some games too - Charlton, Cardiff, Norwich and both Sheffield teams won, the other games were drawn.
Probably.
Teacher's report:
Top humour to Salad (again)
AFKA excelled himself
jimmymelrose's spelling has slipped
We're playing Bristol City not Ipswich.
Iwelumo scores last gasp winner in Scrumpy country
Top Shout.
I also predicted Saturday's away win as well. Move over PBS !
luck - bet he doesn't do it again all season
But you'd have settled for a draw halfway through second half tonight. Have some faith! ;-)
Ledge if that had happened mate I would have run down the street naked.
Bristol citys storming run to the top of the championship finally came to an end. A 4-1 loss at the hands of charlton. A scott sinclair home debut hat-trick and a halford goal straight from a throw in wrapped it up for the addicks.
After another superb performance from the addicks the Charlton Life forum is deserted.
A late Greg Halford howizer into Citys box was turned into his own net Bristols very own spanner in the box as ex-Milwall forward Darren Byfield hit the ball past Adrain Basso to leave Bristol looking both embarrased and over their shoulder and the teams closing in on them.
