I actually told my family that i had some work to do and could not go today as after the last few performances was not sure how I would react today, not sure my family would be all that keen on seeing their mother removed from the ground.

    My son on his way home now, probably soaking wet and very unhappy. Last 2 games he had to walk all the way back to Welling due to lack of buses. Hope he at least gets a bus today.
  • My son and daughters are on the way home with their dad, it's a long walk back to the car any day that you lose, I'm sure that today that it will be more depressing than usual after the performance and the rain wont help improve the mood.

    Perversely I feel less irritable this evening than I normally do when we lose. I think that is because I've crossed the line today and accepted the inevitable.
  • Exactly how I feel bing. Exactly.
  • Because The Valley's bad enough when the side's merely mediocre, I'm kind of immune to bad football. It just becomes harder to laugh off when you're surrounded by miserable buggers who start complaining 45 seconds into the match, and you can't get away from them.

    Oh, and certifiably-bonkers threads and other odes of frustration WRITTEN IN CAPITAL LETTERS BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE TAKES ANY NOTICE tend to do my nut in.

    Still, I felt a nice feeling of freedom by walking out at half-time, in the rain, like I'd passed to the other side.

    To be honest, it's not really affecting me, apart from not particularly looking forward to the "so how did Charlton do at the weekend?" conversation at work on Monday . I never go into games with particularly high expectations, and there's nothing I can really do to change the situation apart from give the team the best support that I can. OK, so it's not a lot of fun right now, but there's more important things in life, you know?

    Yeah, same as some of the others, I feel a strange relief, we were so bad Pards cannot stay.

    I'm Charlton till I die and that has meant watching a lot of charlie rap over the years!

    Had a couple in the pub before I went home; have had an argument with the wife, generally not much fun to be about.

    Stone, not just Rothko, quite a few of us given the way it was chucking it down today. Buckshee, how can that be Rothko, he's looking far too happy?

    To be honest it is not affecting me at all.

    If I ever needed diazepam, I would come on here and save my doctor from writing out a prescription.
  • Not at all, in fact today at 2pm instead of staying up listen to the football, I went to sleep.

    Wish i wanted to listen to it, but knowing it was just going to piss me off I couldnt be arsed.

    Bit over it all really...felt a bit numb and depressed in Bartrams, but until the hierachy realise that we are in dire straights, then nothing will change....I'll still go and meet my mates for a social, but thats all its been to me for the last year and a half...we have seen the odd glimpses of a football team, but mostly its been pretty dire.

    And i try to keep telling myself that.

    But i can't get away from it. I just can't.

    I not even angry. I feel a mixture of shocked and empty, like a teenager dumped for the first time. This club plays such an important part in my life, and to see it riddled in such a hideous mess is destroying me. I want to switch off, i really do, but i just can't.

    The sad thing is i'm pretty sure the main culprits in this, the manager and some players (who are getting off pretty lightly at the mo, say what you like about the manager but they are still underperforming week in week out), probably aren't hurting as much as we are.

    My eldest son told me he was actually scared when he heard Pardew Out for the first time. I think he got his first real addrerlin rush!
  • I just feel numb about the whole thing. I suppose I mainly feel sad that we have fallen such a long way in such a short period of time & that all that hard work put in during the 90s & early 00s has counted for nothing. I can't bear to watch much more of this. Maybe I need to take a short break from it all & hope it gets better in my absence.

    Stayed to the 85th minute,my mate walked out after the second goal went in.Had a few words with the old bloke in front of me who blamed Weaver for the second goal...i've never had cross words with anyone b4.

    Went back to the pub for a few swift ones then off to Lewisham Bowling Alley with 7 other addicks and an Everton supporter...Good night out after nightmare of an afternoon.

    Not going to Plymouth as im in Wales visiting 1965jr but i'll be going to Birmingham.
