Every cloud ... and all that

Off_it

Even though we have lurched from crisis to disaster over the past three years or so it's not all been bad news for those connected with the club.

1. Jerome Thomas got to buy a Bentley with the money we gave him.
2. Marcus Bent got to pull birds by claiming to be a professional footballer whilst "performing" for us.
3. Amdy Faye got to send vast amounts of cash home via Western Union to help his needy family in wherever the f*ck it is he comes from - which is probably not the same country mentioned on his passport.
4. Alan Pardew got an all expenses paid - and change - holiday to develop a wonderful tan.
5. We have been able to bring a little much needed cheer into the sad little lives of our friends called Nigel - or at least we would've done if they actually cared enough.
6. It's not often you witness a long standing club record being smashed to smithereens. Wahey!
7. We now all fully appreciate how well the club was stewarded in the previous 10 years.
8. We saved Zabeel a hefty bundle of cash. (It's ok chaps - no need to thank us!)

Any more?

9. As we give Chris Dickson every Sat afternoon off, he can either go and play on the swings in the park or chose to watch a decent team.

10. The money the board has saved on win bonuses has kept us out of administration.

Perhaps that shoule be: We gave non-league nobodies Dickson and Fleetwood full time professional contracts.

14. The "Target 4,000" campaign to get rid of the "glory boy" fans and return to our more traditional and humble standing gathers momentum.

15. If we weren't paying Todorov, he'd be a drain on the taxpayer claiming his invalidity benefit.

15. We no longer have to put up with the national press writing horse shit about us - because we don't get a mention anymore.

16. It won't be long now until we can welcome back the use of our proper full name "Plucky Charlton".

17. We got to see first hand that Ben Thatcher really does have a screw loose and, as if there were any doubt, that Danny Mills really is a cheating unprofessional c***. Thanks for the memories lads.

Christensen will still be able to drive around in his Mercedes while the rest of the team cycle to the training ground.

In the 2nd (or even 1st} round of the cup we'll get a special write up from Mick Collins about our gallant team of part time players: brickies, Polish plumbers(brought in on a Bosman by Parky) tram drivers and web site administrators, and their hopes of progressing after beating the mighty Carshalton Athletic, managed by ex-boss Alan Pardew.

I thought that was more Charlie Connelly's thing?

Enjoyed his book 'Attention All Shipping',a tour of the shipping forecast weather areas: more fun than it sounds especially the Norman Wisdom story and the overnight cruise with drunken Greenlanders: could have been from an Addicks away game.
