Yep me too.mid_life_crisis said:I've celebrated like that 3 times.
Leeds at St Andrews, Wembley 98 and today.
Epic.
I love you Charlton.
Doesn’t get any better than a last minute winner after such a disastrous start.
Well done Charlton and well done all us fans!0 -
You should copy that, frame it and find a way to send it to Bauer. Write "I believed in you." Guarantee he would never get rid of it.BR3red said:Best bet of my whole life 👍👍👍

Unforgettable afternoon at Wembley - no voice left. So proud of this team and fans. Thanks to the guy who gave his scarf to my 9 yr old stepdaughter at the end. Made it even more special5

Wore the same pants as per both Doncaster matches AND wore my 1998 playoff scarf, so you can thank me for the win. The scarf has been put into storage until the next time we play Sunderland in the playoffs!6

What a day. Good few beers with my son and a last minute winner.
Now completely drained on the train home but as happy as I’ve been in 21 years after a match.

This is cool. They had a crap owner for a while and have turned the corner. I hope they win League One next year. Too big to be down this far. I took a quick check of their largest message board.... their match thread had 1700 posts.7

Phew, that was a struggle. An awful start with the own goal, but thankfully we then steadied things and got a very similar goal to Pratley's against Doncaster, great work again by Lyle put it on a plate for whoever got there first!
I think Bowyer after then got the decisions right, bringing on Pearce for Sarr and changing the shape, as something had to be done. This was a turgid game where you needed a battling defender out there. Then bringing on Williams against tired legs, but keeping Parker on as his running was stretching them and allowed Williams to attack wide areas, where he caused mayhem.
A real show of character today after the awful start, our team spirit pulled us through15 -
Unreal. Was situated in the One Twenty lounge, great seats. Backed Bauer for last scorer, patted Lord Bowyer on the back as he walked up the stairs for the trophy and ruffled Lyle’s head. Last minute winner ? Charlton ? At Wembley ? Wtf !5

Bloody hell I'm exhausted after all that. What a game! I can't even be bothered to post about the match itself apart from the fact I got to celebrate a win at Wembley with my dad, which has made me about as happy as I can be.Also, at the back of the programme in the squad listing, Naby is listed as 'Baby Sarr'. Heh.6

Job done today Charlton
You make the pints taste better.

Immense. To top it all off....

Pratley for Williams was the most attacking thing Bowyer had in his locker, he did it and it worked.
We would have waltzed promotion with another scoring striker.
Top bibs to Bowyer, JJ and Gallen to get us there despite the twat owner.
👏👏lee bowyer. Lee lee lee bowyer. Hope you have a great night lads, and thank you.17 -
So proud of the team. Thought our fans made a great noise. This is why are Charlton fans.
Now we just need RD to go now.4 -
Every 21 years or so this happens and whilst a lot of my usual group were scattered about I saw some pals who I was delighted to see as well as getting to share that moment with my family
My heart and head feel like they are both going to explode3 -
Cullen MOM for me, would love to see his return. Pratley was excellent for the time he was on, but Williams was brought on at the right time. Hon. mention to Purrington and Bauer for being solid at the back and lethal at the other end, for Parker who certainly didn't disgrace himself, and for Anfernee, who might just be developing into a top right wing back. Also, shouldn't be underestimated the fortitude it must have taken for Phillips to put the error out his mind, didn't put a foot wrong thereafter.23

Just fucking brilliant. Enough said. Good night one and all from here in france.0

What a fantastic atmosphere from our fans. Well done to every Addick that attended. We're going up!!!1
-
Wow can't quite believe it. Haven't always been convinced with Bowyer's substitutions but he absolutely nailed it today. And the switch in formation second half. Buzzing!
Can't bloody wait for Sunderland til I die season 2!
Also so relieved for Dillon and Naby, after the season they've had it would've been so cruel if that had cost us.4 - Sponsored links:

We *had* a big fucking German!SDAddick said:BIG FUCKING GERMAN, WE'VE GOT A BIG FUCKING GERMAN, BIG FUCKING GEEEEEEEEEEEEEERMAN, WE'VE GOT A BIG FUCKING GERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!
Or will he stay now? Really hope he does, as he's earned legendary status now hasn't he?
And is Roland selling the club now? Possibly!
Youngest son said it was the happiest he's felt in his whole life! Big son who 'doesn't like football' loved it, and sang along to all the songs getting the words wrong.
I hugged Bob Boulder after the game (we did the Amsterdam ride together), hugged Olly and George too, and got a text off GM after the match. Heard he was in the royal box with Muir. I was wondering after the semis if promotion might trigger another look by someone. Who knows? I certainly don't, but if they were indeed in the box, then you'd think that must mean something? Hope Muir wasn't wearing a scarf though!
Couldn't believe what I was seeing when Dillon missed Naby's rather firm backpass. Could we have had a worse start? Both did so well to battle back from that. Dillon's save soon after was almost a worldy; and did he have a shot to save after that? Not a serious one that I can remember, which is remarkable!
Absolutely incredible effort to come back from that OG in the way that we did.
Two great calls by Bowyer helped win the match. Naby had to come off after being booked and looking understandably jittery thereafter. They were clearly going to target him, and you could see a red card heading his way.
Secondly, Williams for Pratley was a masterstroke, as it was an attacking move, and Williams was sensational from the moment he came on. What a cameo!
Pratley was excellent though, hats off to him, as was everyone else, including Parker, who I don't think gave the ball away more than once, a remarkable effort really.
What a bloody lovely day! Even leaving Clapham Junction station and walking to the car, four separate people congratulated us on the win. Goose bumps. A day we'll never forget.
[Oh, and just remembered I had a couple of winning Paddy Power bets on promotion!]

Until we got to JJ moons and watched the highlights I thought it was Pearce who scored0

What a day, that own goal I thought it was going to be a bad afternoon, would've been devastated to lose due to that but credit to us we came back and won it in the best possible way.
What a couple of weeks it's been being a Charlton fan.5 -
Even the tube from hell afterward couldn’t spoil the occasion. This was the train that stopped on the tracks for over half-hour because someone leaning on the door set off the emergency brake.2

That was new levels. Cuddling people I’ve never met, that’s what it’s all about. Would happily wait another 21 years for that just so it happens again.14
