    A follow up to my post on the first page:

    My grandson has described today's encounter as a massive game ... it's the difference between a defeat, where he will be abused at school by his Canary-supporting mates, and a win where he will be the abuser.

    Forget the points on offer folks, this is what it all boils down to.
    Obviously want a win but a draw might suit your grandson 
    After the Boxing Day shambles he wants nothing less than a win because he wants to give it to his mates in spades, to make up for all the shit he got when we lost at Carrow Road.

    That 27 December 1971 game at Carrow Road referred to FA was one of my early away games as a youngster. It was a full house at Carrow Road, Kenny Foggo scored after 10 minutes and we barely got a kick, with Ray Treacy having our only attempt on goal in the second half. Two late goals finished us off. David Cross was making his debut, having signed from Rochdale for £40,000, and another debutant, Jim Bone from Partick Thistle, scored in the 2-0 at The Valley in the return at Easter. Following a 2-1 home defeat to Orient in Good Friday morning (featuring a memorable own goal from David Shipperley), the writing was very much on the wall. At least we're in much better shape at present.

    Norwich will be favourites tomorrow but we usually perform reasonably well at home and I quite fancy us to take something from the game. I think that  Josh Makama, who gave us such problems on Boxing Day, and Toure are both still injured, which must deplete Norwich to some extent, notwithstanding their excellent form and the strength of their squad. As others have said, a draw would be a satisfactory outcome.
    I'm not certain when I started going to The Valley.
    I know I've had a S/T since 72/73.
    I reckon I first went in 1969.
    I definitely remember Shipperley's OG. He was in or near to the centre circle wasn't he?
    He certainly was - and thumped the ball high in the air, looping it over our goalie. If there were blooper complications in those days, it would certainly have made the cut !
    Remember it to this day. One of the most bizarre own-goals you could ever see.  
    We weren't great back then but, as a kid, it didn't stop me falling in love with Charlton and The Valley.
    Was therafter referred to at Erith Grammar as "Shipperleyog". I also recall something embarrasing away to Gillingham concerning this guy... was it heading in a Gills corner? Long time ago. Genuine football. Happy days despite!
