Don't take the piss out of Oxford. Just sit back and think how marvellous the EFL are at organising a fairly run competition. Penultimate matches at different times, with Ipswich still a game in hand. EFL are the Whores of Babylon. Yet whatever, Up The 'Addicks. I so miss "real" football.....

What are you on about. 

Teams have always played on different days / times. What about Southampton today ?  Should they play 2 matches today ?

Hull were the weakest of the top 7 teams that have come to the Valley this season. Hull were so poor 1st half I was so frustrated that Charlie Kelman who scored a wonder goal and then Harry Clark who had a mare gave away the needless corner which led to the 1-1 HT. Harry nearly got booked but he missed his gran and then our raw Kenyan took out his man after 3 minutes and I was certain if he hadn't come off Injured he would have collected another card.
We were never going to keep a clean sheet today and could we get two goal ! Another wonder goal by Fevrier this time who can go from taking a corner and putting it straight into the crowd before his dancing feet scored an equally stunning goal. I would say Charlie's is the goal of the season with Fevrier just a tad behind but both sublime goals.

I don't think we have over achieved this season but we just about got there in the 45th game and it was important that we got a win in our last home match.

More relief that we get another go after so many home defeats of late.

And relax...

Not the time for questioning, but I will…

if we haven’t over achieved, who else do you expect us to finish above? Potentially Portsmouth, but who else?

I predicted we would be 17th and 10 points clear of the drop in August and I said that would be fair enough for our 1st season back but I would be amazed if Nathan was content with the way we fell away and he will mainly be feeling relief.
WBA and Blackburn had been poor all season until suddenly WBA put Morrison in charge and Blackburn were another we had so many points on.

When other dig out individuals on line or at the ground I don't but I have been disappointed that when Charlie Kelman get the ball on the ground he has a good touch and why has it taken until the 45 match for Nathan to have confidence in him and get the best out of him. We paid good money for Charlie and I have believed in him from day one but Nathan never praise him like he would praise TC who who he said was better than any of the Saints he worked with in the Premier. That really didn't help the shy TC and it was good to see him have a good cameo after he got injured against Ipswich.

Coventry over achieved big time with having no parachute money and being Champions and Millwall have over achieved if they finish 2nd. Ipswich are a flair side and have spent money well and still should grab the auto spot with the Saints on a charge they 

This is a typical football forum when fans go OTT when we get a win and call the players all the names under the sun when they lose or don't beat Wednesday or WBA away when they were in freefall under Eric Ramsay. I say what I see and try to analyse games and not through a beer glass.

I'm relieved we have survived but so much work need to be done in the close season which about 95% of CL have agreed on and today's win doesn't change that feeling.

It was lovely for the families to be there today and not when the boo boys are on their backs which upset Lloyd so much.

Tottenham or West Ham will be joining us next season and let's hope we can continue to improve our passing which wasn't of Championship standard in so many matches but our 3 CB'S Ramsay, Jones and Bell all finished in credit and even though Carey has been disappointing of late his 8 goals has helped to keep Cafc up.

Just seen the headline that Nathan just felt relief so pleased he felt the same way as me and he was disappointed how the season fizzled out.

After all this - I missed us staying up lying in a dark room with my head pounding and my son shouting updates up the stairs.

Never imagined I’d be lying here sick as a dog with a big stupid grin on my face but there you go!

Enjoy your day everyone - we did it!

Oh and my lads convinced Kelmans goal was goal of the season but he says that about tap ins so will have to see it later.

Best goal I've seen in ages at The Valley your lad is right.

100%

I bet TC was spitting blood when Fev didn't release him for a clear third in the last minute...🤦‍♂️

I think he may have strayed off side earlier in the move, but I don't really know the off side law so forget I said that.

Well, it wasn’t from a goal kick.

Fevrier and Kelman - take a bow - brilliant performances just when we needed it 👏👏👏

Stalingrad?  Berlin?  Whatever, not getting the reference. 

So glad for the win simply to hear @LouisMend sounding semi-normal again! Was worried about his health a few days ago.

You really are a WUM. They never needed to play two matches at once, or Ipswich to be left with a game in hand. It is about running a competition fairly. ££££££££££SKY££££££££££EFL. This never needed to happen. If you think a team can play two matches at the same time, what planet are you on? It's a game, a sport, should be on an even field. You are so out of touch. Get back to the golf, and promote yourself on  the 19th.

Someone's had a drink ......

Great win and two beautiful goals. Pleased for both scorers but good to see Charlie bag that. Felt we were only in trouble when we made simple mistakes. Need some serious thinking in the close season but onwards and hopefully upwards. COYR!

We played what an eminent poster calls "communist football".

Missed the point entirely. Don't sit back for 0-0 or binary. Don't bore your customers. Carpe Diem. Ain't Communist, it's about pulling together for a collective objestive. Here is the Trump/Reform comparison :

Not to knock the sacrifice of the people of the USSR, particularly the proletariat in the ranks of the Red Army, and Trump/Reform have no right to lay claim to the bravery of the US forces on Okinawa, Iwo Jima, and elsewhere in the Pacific theatre, but what has any of that got to do with Charlton?
