in General Charlton
I have been ridiculed by my mates for years for saying that i would rather Charlton won the FA cup/got promoted back to the premier league than England win the World Cup or Euros. I am massively outnumbered by my mates i just wondered what other peoples opinions were?

    I'd be the same. Certainly.

    Do these mates support the likes of Arsenal/United? Perhaps the dint see the FA cup as such a prize.

    Absence makes the heart grow fonder. And 47 is longer ago than 66.

    Its a real mixture - Chelsea, Arsenal, Nigels, Brighton, Tranmere, West Ham, Spurs, QPR

    Charlton are far more important, relatable and personal to me, than England will ever be.

    Charlton for me. Suspect most of your mates are TV fans not every weekers.

    England winning the World Cup all day for me. Imagine the state of a night out when the final is on , would be mental.

    You'd need to change the rules depending on the club and its fans

    Tranmere - get to the Premiership or win the League Cup (finalists a while back!)
    QPR - they don't do cups. Reach the Champions League, I guess
    Nigels - feature in Gazzetta Dello Sport about 'Ultras Inglesi'
    Brighton - FA Cup win
    West Ham - West Ham fans don't want England to win the World Cup again because West Ham won it the first time
    Spurs - Champions League win or Arsenal relegation
    Arsenal - Champions League win or Spurs relegation
    Chelsea - never lose another game ever

    I find it hard to share space with 'locals'.
    Supporting Charlton from a distance is ideal for me.
    I lived in 3 countries and never failed to betray each one of them on crucial home games.
    Last year I flew over to attend 1 charlton match at great expense. It was away to Rochdale so my love is intact. Back in my Croydon days, attending more then 2 home games in a row and I began to flirt with the opposition. ...

    ...Expensive therapy has so far came to nada...

    I support Charlton. I suffer England. But want both to do as well as possible.

    Don't get me wrong i support England, i just can't fathom how people have more attachment to a team that play 12 times a year to the team you support week in week out

    For me England winning the world cup would be exciting depending where I was... If I was in the stadium for the final, then England or Charlton would be amazing, at the pub, England would be the most fun. The excitement would die down swiftly thereafter

    I'd rather see Charlton promoted to the Championship than England win the world cup... I just can't relate to any of them... the last time I gave a fig was the "golden generation" every since it's meant hardly anything to me...

    In order of priority:

    1 England win the World Cup (still the biggest sporting competition in the world, imagine how incredible it would be across the country)
    2 Charlton win the League
    3 Charlton win the FA Cup
    4 Charlton get back into the Prem
    5 England win the Euros

    England - I can't be that parochial, much as I love the Addicks.

    would love to see England win either the WC or the Euro's

    would love Charlton to get back to the championship (and win the F A Cup) couldn't give a stuff if we never made it back to the prem

    England winning something would edge it for me

    WC 86 & 90 and Euros 96, I would've given anything for England to win, probably over Charlton winning something.

    But those days were massive piss ups and then a disco afterwards.

    Now though, think I'd prefer Charlton to win something and for England to get knocked out in the 2nd round by Timbuktu.
