Just arrived at Euston Station. Popped into Virgin Lounge to use the facilities. On my way out my route was blocked by a gaggle of young men in dark tracksuits. Clearly a football team. As I got closer I identified the badge.
"Excuse me, please." I loudly asked.
The one immediately in my way slowly moved aside.
"Typical Millwall," I muttered.
"Typical Millwall?!" One of them repeated, loudly, to all the others.
"Yes, well, I'm Charlton. See you on 9th November." I replied.
Then swiftly fled. I mean walked off with my head held high.

And that's typical Millwall... What's the big deal?
‘Slowly moved aside’
I think??
Oh lordy I just tried Google. It was Ben Thompson.
If not, happy birthday for yesterday
I swear I once read about there being a connection with us and him
No, not 59 - few years till that, thankfully!
It was genuinely my birthday. Had enjoyed a glass of champagne and couple of glasses of red wine on the four and a half hour journey from Glasgow so not that squiffy!
Btw, Millwall were on their way to Huddersfield from Euston - gives credibility to that story of Bowyer spotted at Euston going there for an interview. Phew that he didn't take that job.
God knows what he had planned, but at least he was sensible enough to take precautions with him to Lancashire.
Ben Thompson is most definitely not a Charlton fan.
Getting any of our players to move at all these days is a stretch, so count yourself lucky you spoke to one of the ones there that is able to move.
