    Just seen that on BBC Breakfast.......very amusing.
    😀😀😀
  • I was playing once and a huge Irish wolfhound kept coming on the pitch. In the end, my wife led him off and took him to the local police station. On the way she fell in love with it and wanted to keep it if it was stray. The police sad to phone back 24 hours later. She did and the dog had been reclaimed by its owner, Sting. 

    Does anyone else have any "animal on the pitch / famous celebrity owner" related stories as good as this one??

    Did it have the same accountant as Harry Redknapp’s dog?

    Gets around the pitch well and offers that South American flair. Could be a good addition to our midfield.
  • I read it as though Charlton had signed a guy called Al Packer

    It’s all over the media, making a llama out of a crisis if you ask me.

    So much for social distancing......and no face mask either.
