End of season drama

A couple of months ago, when I was credited with having 'a head full of rocks' and 'cock-eyed optimism', I was insistant that we had still had a reasonable chance to stay up.

But one point I did make was, that if the team gave it it's best shot and we were all positive, then we could be in for an end of season roller-coaster of tension and drama.

Don't forget, even a couple of seasons ago, our old mate Dowie was only 8 minutes away from staying up with Palarse - and failed only thanks to Jonny Fortune.

This season for us could go right to the wire - a real white knuckle ride.

People who were bemoaning mid-table mediocrity and craving excitement have got their wish.

When we stay up, we'll look back and remember this season......but for now, let's ejoy the thrill of the ride!

    Have a word with Etherington, Carroll and an "un-named" West Ham player, they'll help you out with the gambling addiction thing........:-)

    Aww, Oggy, you're never going to let me live that comment down, are you? You have to admit that at the time, things were looking rather bleak, so optimism wasn't really a common way of looking at the situation.

    Which reminds me, was anyone here subscribed to the mailing list during the 1997-98 season, and remember Ritchie "Mr Positive"?

    Stay up or go, I have enjoyed this season more than any in the alast 4 years. I don't mind admitting that. I go to football for a bit of excitement outside of my humdrum life!! ;-)

    Ali, I quite liked it.....'cock-eyed enthusiasm'. Sums me up!

    I didn't want to see my beloved Charlton just lay down and die.

    Everybody was talking about how excited they were, dreaming of going to Colchester next season........????????

    While most were busy banging nails into our own coffin, we just needed to get some belief and fight together.....and if nobody else thought it was possible, then somebody had to speak up.

    REmember everybody.....

    The Great Escape is ON!!!!

    Enjoyed WHAM, yes, and looking forward to the next matches. Afraid I did not at all enjoy the Middlesbrough game, the Watford home game, the Wycombe game and many others...
