And why would you want to go and play at Middlesbrough - it is a shit hole and poorly supported -
No inside knowledge here but I’m thinking that Boro players earning £20 - 30 per week don’t hang out in downtown Middlesbrough.
Yeah. This always makes me laugh too
"Why would you want to go to Blackburn, it's a shithole of a place". Like anyone playing there and pulling down 20 bags a week is going to be living in Bank Top or Shadsworth
"Who wants to go to Preston, its a dump". Because anybody playing for Preston is going to live in Ingol...
Anybody think a lot of our players live in Charlton? Or Woolwich?
How much a 4 bed in Charlton compared to a 4 bed in middlesborough - Not much wrong with Charlton
And why would you want to go and play at Middlesbrough - it is a shit hole and poorly supported -
Because they are bigger than us, have an owner with ambition, would pay him much more and a have a much bigger budget?
Not that players care about any of those things.
They are not bigger and what ambition - don’t hide the fact it’s a shit hole - and the family care - London or that hole !!
They’re not well run at all. They got rid of there youth team so they can sign 18 to 24 year olds and sell them for profit. Mate whos a Brentford fan says its terrible. Not many youngsters go to the games and they miss players that grow from the youth ranks. Theres nothing better than seeing players like Morgan and Lapslie come up from the youth team. They do fuck all for the community too.
Would take our youth team model over theres any day. Imagine not having the Upbeats either!
There is only one place where a peaceful mass protest of Charlton fans would have any effect.
Exactly. It's his manor, and he needs his routine, which includes lunch at Stayen pretty much every day.
That said, he employs a lot of the 30k citizens, and has a good (but not invincible) relationship with local plod.
Another mass protest is worth doing and do-able, but we should also think about other ways to embarrass him in front of those whose admiration he craves.
I really admire the Led by Donkeys poster campaign but thus far we didn't get sensible quotes for posters over there. I would love to know how, and for how much the Donkeys guys got that big poster in Brussels for the very moment of Theresa May's visit.
Seriously though, what are you and your middle aged buds gonna do? Wander round with a few leaflets and placards? Don’t mean to demean you fella but it ain’t gonna work. In the unlikely event a few bods went out there and ”something” happened, you’d be the first one condemning them and distancing yourself from them. Kudos to you for wanting to do something but these protests didn’t work before and won’t work now. For me, I have no idea what the solution is as I’m not by nature a protestor, so feel free to slam me for criticising whilst having no alternative suggestions 👍🏻
Middle aged? I'll take that.
Yep, sitting here in my pants perusing a stenna stairlifts catalogue when I thought I’d take glance at CL, bought a wry old smile to this face when I read that one me old mucker. Wandering around St Truiden stinking of pi55 certainly got up his nose that weekend, “middle aged” love it.👨🦳👨🦳👨🦳
Going to have a bit of rant which probably wont go down well and could be my last post, but sod it.
Bauer - you were an average league 1 defender before Bowyer came in Bielik - no one heard of you before you came to us and Bowyer took you under his wing - turned you into a CDM too Cullen - enjoy sitting on the West Ham bench then get loaned out to another team where the manager doesn’t get you or make you better. No one really heard of you until Bowyer guided you Dijksteel - you’d still be a bench warmer if it wasnt for Bowyer Aribo - huge talent but you had no direction until Bowyer Grant - you were a lost soul before Bowyer Lyle - love ya. But you’d still be bumming around in league 1 if it weren’t for Bowyer. As for cryptic tweets saying “leave me alone”. Fuck you and don't get above yourself. The fans treat you like a god. You've helped unite the club. Kids adore you. We’ve spent money getting your name on our shirts. We’ve queued up with our kids to meet you. We've waited hours after games with our kids to see you. We’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with you when you were getting your head kicked by Accy. We’ve sung your praises when you’ve spoke out against racism or made old ladies dreams come true. So, we’re really sorry that we just want to hear from you, after all its not often you keep quiet.
I’m aware that careers are short/got no money/loans are in the hands of the parent club/agents yada yada...
What I’m trying to say is isn't it about time Bowyer was shown some fucking respect by some of these players. Yeah, the owners a prick, but they all new that before they signed. What about if they thought “Gaffer, I owe you. You got us into the Championship. I’ll sign a new deal, but lets see how this season goes and we’ll talk next summer”. Maybe a few of these players can learn from the old pro’s such as Williams and Pearcey who've been there and done that and know when they're onto a good thing. Any way, I’ll take my rose tinted glasses off now.
Do get a grip. A lot of shit gets posted on this site but you've taken it to another level.
Parott, Herbie Kane, Field, Harriott and Gunter would be my ideal (yet realistic) scenario. More likely we’ll get Gunter and Harriott with the ‘just pleased we managed to keep Lyle’

There is no way we will get that many incomings over the line in 2 days

Fair do’s. Been a log day, Some rants are best kept to yourself i suppose!
I really don’t understand why players like Bielik or Cullen are getting targeted in your rant? It’s not as if they have a choice as to whether they play for Charlton or not.

Not meant to be a pop, just showing what a great job Bowyer is doing with these players and that I just wished some players realise that as Williams has

Add Matt Taylor to that and Toney and I’d be delighted....and probably on crack

Can we add Cullen... then i’ll join you on the crack!
I am shocked some people think this situation is over.
Brentford just got £20M cash for selling a striker. If they get a £3M bid
rejected they can just offer £4-5M Thursday and get him. They have actual
cash to buy him several times over. No way they do not get this one over the
line with our shit owner, if they want. Lee thinks "Taylor gets 20 goals this season." Twenty goals for Brentford takes an already good team to the Premier League, imho. They could pay £10m and he would be a bargain if the payoff is £150M in TV revenue next year. So shelling out £4-5M is hilariously easy for them. And wise.
I don’t think Bowyer will be phased by the idea of 5 in 2 days, he’s been playing the loan narrative this whole window.
"Chris I've got 5 loan players all lined up, really pleased with what Steve and I have got sorted.....what do you mean you're off today?..... visiting Sue's sister in Exeter...but this is urgent...I don't care if her cat is unwell..."
