Spent a good minute trying to work out who the fuck the young winger Mendez is that i've never heard of!ForeverAddickted said:Edited the line up in the preview to reflect the injury to Holmes!!... All seriousness I'd put Hanlan there if Holmes isnt playing

Anything other than a win is a terrible result. We need to keep winning the home matches because our away form is very poor.
This is the start of a very difficult run which could see us in the relegation zone by the end of the year.

Massive acca now on. Still get Charlton at 14/1 to go down. It would be stupid not to. Possible draw Saturday 1-1 but sorry to say in Bottom 3 by mid December & then its Millwall - Oh Dear. Glass half full or just a realist with the current amateurs in charge.0

Great - you hate her as much as I doMrLargo said:I quite like Port Vale. I remember Tony Naylor and Martin Foyle giving us a tough time at The Valley a few times in the mid 90’s, John Rudge was their manager forever and they had a dumpy little goalkeeper called Paul Musselwhite who had a fairly poor centre parting/curtains haircut, just like the barnet I was sporting at the time. I have a vague memory, which could be wrong, of the Covered End clapping Vale off the pitch after they beat us 3-1 in 1995(?).
Anyway, part of me hopes we win because I detest seeing Charlton in this pub league and still hope that we can somehow fluke our way out of it, despite the idiots at the top doing everything in their power to ruin us.
The other part of me hopes we get thrashed, because a club with an owner who doesn’t care, a disgrace of a CEO, run appallingly from top to bottom, with a thoroughly contemptuous attitude towards its customers, deserves to get thrashed, week in week out, and the people in charge deserve to receive the scorn and anger that comes with that.
On balance, I hope we get thrashed – I’d rather deal with the misery of sitting through another dismal afternoon’s football than let Katrien feel in any way vindicated for her latest absurd episode.
4-0 to The Valiants.

Pretty pleased to be going to a gig instead. And I'm very hard to tear away from a league game at The Valley2

Who's Mendez mate?ForeverAddickted said:Charlton Athletic v Port Vale
Saturday 19th November … 3pm Kick-Off
Referee: Richard Clark (Northumberland)
Introduction
They always say a week is a long time in Football yet this week in particular has felt extremely long… Last Saturday saw the Addicks making their first appearance on TV this season and on that showing you have to pray it’ll be the last appearance. Despite missing four players, the Charlton performance was embarrassing to say the least with the 3-0 scoreline our worst of the season.
48-hours later and we received the surprising news that Russell Slade had been sacked… Just four wins this season proved to be not good enough and the revolving door swung once more. Communication has been a key word under our current regime yet there appears to be no news about an incoming replacement, nor does there appear to be any news about who’ll be in charge this Saturday… Our opponents much be loving this, I doubt Port Vale have ever had an easier run up to a match in their history.

Name: Port Vale | Manager: Bruno Ribeiro
Reverse Fixture: Port Vale 1-1 Charlton Athletic
Well now this is strange, we all know that we have to face all League One teams home and away yet for both fixtures to come in such a short space of time is certainly unusual. Of course though it’s something that’s not happened before, back in the days of proper Football, the Addicks would face a team away from home and then the following week they’d play that exact same team at home… Plymouth Argyle (not our latest opponents) are a perfect example of this, on Boxing Day 1960 we faced them in the West Country and lost 6-4, the very next day we played them at the Valley… and won 6-4.
The situation isn’t as extreme this time round (as Charlton would take longer than 90mins to score six times in a match) yet one month ago we travelled to Port Vale and for the majority of the match it looked assured that the Addicks would pick up their second away victory of the season… Sadly our typical form shone through and the Valliant’s managed to earn a draw following a late penalty. Since that fixture; Port Vale have continued to surprise many in the League, other than a brief drop to 11th, they’ve remained in and around the Play-Off positions and appear to be one of the surprise packages this season.
Charlton Team News
Rather difficult to work out who’ll be pulling on the red shirt this weekend seeing that we don’t even know who’ll be in the dugout… The good news is that Ademola Lookman should return after International Duty along with Jordan Botaka who both appear to have come through unscathed. Josh Magennis on the other hand was injured against Croatia on Tuesday night so could be a doubt whilst Ricky Holmes (deemed 50/50 for our match against Swindon) is hopefully closer to a return.Rudd

Prediction
It’s impossible to see a win for Charlton this weekend as matters off the pitch continue to overshadow matters on the pitch, quite simply a draw is the best we can hope for but even that will be a huge achievement.0 -

Going to the cinema instead. Will think about shouting or going to complain to the manager if the film is bad but that might be a bit weird.5

Absolutely nothing planned for tomorrow. Think I'll paint the bathroom.0

Working tomorrow. I was wondering why I'm doing it as my overtime rate is crap. Really not bothered about missing the game, sadly. TBH the unveiling of the memorial sounds like it will be more interesting. Think a draw will be an over-achievement for our depleted rudderless squad.0
