Was asked to write a little Charlton piece ahead of today's game for Sabotage Times - good online mag. Tried to give it vague appeal for non-Addicks too so there's nothing too niche or new about it, but hopefully some will still enjoy it.

    Entertaining read, Heany. You're not a  Curbs fan, by any chance?

    "Phil Brown’s Preston ............. have won 7 on the spin."

    At least they weren't nought-noughts.

    The clubs official twitter account just sent it to its few thousand followers so should get a wide read.

    Good article, especially liked the bit where other fans inform us about the correlation between our fortunes heading south and a certain Mr Curbishley heading for pastures new...that's just how I feel!

    Indulged in some nostalgia writing this for the 'When We Were Good' series they're doing on Sabotage. Hope others enjoy basking in the memory...

    Great piece NH. I got the same email request and immediately thought I would write the same article you did. Couldn't get round to it though, and wouldn't have been able to write as good a piece as you did. Well done.

    Top man, thanks. Think it was you who wrote a great couple of Charlton articles before and linked them on here which was the first time I'd seen the site. Been one of my favourites since and did some home interning for them so I owe you, good work!

    Great article Neil.  I remember sitting at my sisters in Cheltenham almost choking back disappointment that i wasnt there.  She even said sorry to me for making me stay the extra day.

    We really were good then.

    Lovely piece on one of my all time favourite games at The Valley! I wonder if we'll hit those heights again in my lifetime?
