    Only joking, well done and a good opportunity.

    No Palace blog, or Millwall ...... ?


    Perhaps the Sub-Standard knows that we're still number one in SE London, lol

    I think it is a pity you have to wash our dirty linen in public. We, Charlton fans, know we are in a mess but do you have to go and spell it out for the whole of SE England.

    AFKA I think you do a marvellous job with this site but this goes a bit too far.

    oh come on lancashire lad , don't be so precious, we're a shambles at the moment and that's how it is unfortunately ...
    we were all happy being lauded as the way to run a model club when in reality it was only the miracles of curbs that kept us going

    sorry, but being so far away I expect my perspective is a bit askew !

    With a nice 70's frizzy Afro wig, he could be Danny Curlier.

    Good on you, Dan. Quite a feather in your cap, mate.

    Maybe a stepping stone to bigger & better things ?

    good stuff! My favourite part: 'In our Premiership days, we routinely lost to lower division teams in cup games, so we are prepared for what may lie ahead.'

    What happens if we draw the gooners in a cup & beat them, are you allowed to write what you like in your blog or will the Evening Gooner suppress you?

    Nice one AFKA. Let's hope one day soon we can look back at that and reflect how far we've come (apart from the mileage accumulated visiting grounds in the Conf).

    I wonder if the Sub-Standard's aficianado of London football who told us to stop moaning about making the "fifteen minute" bus journey to Selhurst every fortnight still thrills readers with his well-informed opinions!

    How did you get to do this Dan - I've often wondered how one gets into freelancing

    nice piece (except the typo on Galatasaray) that pretty much sums up the situation but as for the name.........you big gay bear!

    You could change your surname every week, that would baffle the Millwall supporters; Dan Courteous or Dan Courtesan, if your the gigalo type...
