Charlton win every other time me or my Dad see them at Wembley ('46, '47, '87, '98). So we're due a loss if I go again. Should I jinx the semi final this year? Or miss it and jinx the final?

Charlton have alternated win/lose/win/lose at Wembley

This point was not lost on me when I wrote this:

I re-watched the '98 game highlights last night. Never tire of it!

Did you see that link, btw Henry?

Fortune 82nd Minute

Real possibility as, on last night's evidence, players obviously saving themselves for the cup.

It is still wrong that the semis are played at Wembley. Should keep it for the final only imo.

Agree in principle. However this year it would be good if all quarter finals and fifth round ties could be played there.
