Not sure, despite the euphoria of last week and not withstanding the huge amount of manlove and respect I have for Mssrs Bowyer & Jackson, that they should replace Sam Bartrum and Jimmy Seed just yet..
Bartram I agree with definitely.
Jimmy South Stand is vulnerable for a takeover though...
I'm sure we sung a lot more than Sunderland but sitting near the middle I did feel they were much louder on the odd occasion they did sing , obviously more of their fans would know the words to their songs than our day trippers .

Watching it back,the atmosphere at our game seemed to carry much better on TV than the other play off finals this year.
They were louder for sure when they did sing, think we were just dumbstruck for 30mins and preying we didn't lose to a mistake. Then it was just tense, nerves, expecting et and them just disbelief with last 5 sec winner.
Just don't think we got the perfect opportunity to get going singing.

Hmm. Greatest figure in the club’s history mate. You were just a big goalie ;-)
Don’t mind the Allez, Allez Allez, but can’t we bring back the old “Now you’re gonna believe us, the reds are going up” for us Anti-French Brexit loving old timers?
Right. ‘AFKA must go oh oh, oh oh, AFKA must go oh oh, oh oh,
Im also not a lover of this song as its L‘pool‘s. But since Wemberleeeeee its constantly in my head. And not knowing all the words I just do the ending ....Charlton are going up/allez allez. I’m also not sure when to sing Crocodile Rock as it’s uncannily similar (typical scousers nicking a tune) 😀
Blimey some of you are football chant snobs! That song was a massive part of uniting our support and it absolutely wiped out Sunderland at Wembley. Plus i love pogo sticking up and down.
Even after Wembley my young lad still thinks it is ‘and now we’ve got Lee Bowyer, we’re super dynamite” but then i did lose my voice belting that one word out each time it was sang in an attempt to cover up the other 40,000 Charlton fans singing the actual version!
The song is quite rousing but the lyrics are horrendous
If they were horrendous they’d never have caught on. The thing that annoys me is that so many people sing Olé Olé Olé rather than Alez
At least liverpool get it right. The amount of our fans at Wembley singing ole ole ole
Lyrics are not horrendous. They include Charlton history, Charlton present, positivity and I can’t stop singing it to myself every day.
I dont mind the ole ole ole (instead of alez) It’s the fans at Wembley (and I was surrounded) who only knew this part. I can’t get to every game but I’ve been enough times in 18/19 to get to grips with the words. I finally nailed it at Peterborough away when I could finally sing it at full volume.
The original is fine as it is, what is terrible is the new versions people are trying to come up with. Change "Going up" to "Staying up" until we're in the top 6, and that's it
Don't change a thing, the song is class when we are in full flow, works better at the valley as we wasn't all scattered and most people know the words. Against Donny it was quality
quality song and made the last few games at the Valley much more enjoyable. So what if everyone sings it, pretty much the same with most football songs
It's crap, but it can't be argued that we've had the best atmosphere we've have for years home and away - and I would put a lot of that down to having a song where everyone can clap along and shout Allez/Ole when appropriate.
I would have to say that Villa do it better though.

My daughter wondered why we were singing ‘and now we’ve got ebola’

‘AFKA must go

Repeat ad nauseam.
