    Charlton

    High - Probably the 4-0 drubbing of WHam

    Low - Watching 'premiership' players strut and skulk around in Charlton shirts that they didn't deserve to wear. MBent in particular.

    Personal

    High - 2 weeks driving down the California coast with the missus.

    Low - having the worst bout of flu I've ever known back in February and barely being able to get out of bed for a week. (It was a pretty good year really if that's the worst thing that happened!).
  • Charlton

    High - tough one, but probably the crowds reaction as Defoe scored Spurs 2nd - knew I was part of something 'special', even if we were going down
    Low - Middlesborough away last Christmas - far and away the worst performance I have ever seen - thank f*ck I was staying in Yorkshire and so didn't have the nightmare drive back

    Personal

    High - new job, new house, all's good
    Low - have been lucky - fingers crossed - but nothing has got me too low this year (obviously, still a few weeks to go) other than getting fatter and more unfit and slowly coming to realise that I won't be a star player for anyone, let alone CAFC.
  • Charlton:

    High: That 4 - 0 & the minibus trip to Liverpool - how messy was that!

    Low: My utter loss of faith in the team after the performance at Reading.
