    Talking to a new barista in my favourite cafe in Greenwich yesterday. I said "i'm going to Man Utd tomorrow night", he said "ah you support Man Utd, so do i". I said "no, Charlton". He looked mystified and said
     "why".


    Hope you smashed your paper cup in his face

    If Charlton beat Man United tonight in an excellent wonderful historic convincing cup upset, then you have every right to take the piss out of fellow prem supporting mates. 

    A mid table league one club in the semi final of the carebo cup is something that is completely unheard of.

    If we beat united, a copy of the match day programme will likely end up in the museum! 
    Bradford reaching the final from the 4th tier would be the last one I think?
    I still have nightmares of when Wycombe (then in league 2), turned us (premier league) over at the Valley and went on to play Chelsea in the semi finals.
    Thought Wycombe went on to play Liverpool over 2 legs and lost?

    This. A United fan at work suggested a bet, I told him I needed 5-1 and an 8 goal head start.

    We have access to Brentford tickets through a supplier at work. One of my colleagues was chatting to his wife the other day whose friend is coming over from the US and wants to watch a "soccer" game while here. He mentioned Brentford but also dropped in that I go to Charlton and tickets wouldn't be an issue. Her reply was "what's Charlton"! Made me laugh but sums it all up really. It has been nice to be in the media gaze for a week or so though, I won't lie.

    sorry to resurrect this but the big hand over happened today in the end - turns out some Man U fans are alright - we agreed to put our stakes to charity and my gobby Man u mate and I agreed the upbeats would be a good cause so i'll be heading to coinstar and Rob is going to match it. (i'll be keeping the rusty safety pin lol) anyone have a link or can I donate at next home game?
