Fish battered Nothing on the official site about it but elsewhere the media are reporting that Mark Fish has retired from the game. He follows a long line of Addicks who have been forced to retire through injury, and defenders in particular with the former South African international following Richard Rufus, Gary Rowett, Mark Penfold, Terry Naylor and Geoff Scott, to mention just a few.

All in all he proved a good signing for us but his knee may explain some woeful performances at the tail end of last season, although to me he was never the same after suffering horrific cuts following an accident at home.

He played 111 games in the red shirt and scored 2 goals. He, like his countryman Shaun Bartlett, is a hero back in South Africa for whom he played 60 times. Good luck Feeeesh.

It was good to see Dennis score tonight, although even I may have swept that one in, and have a good game. That and Darren Bent not getting on the pitch will have given us maximum value from England's crap performance against the Danes in Copenhagen.

Unfortunately we won't be getting the benefit of Darren Ambrose's winner in the U21 friendly the night before for a few weeks yet but well done to him anyway.  ¶ 00:57
