West Brom home. What was the score? Drew 0-0 I know very little about the game as I couldn't get the poxy internet commentary to work and I was too busy to phaff around with it.

I got a text at half-time saying it was "shit" and a phone call after the game telling me it was a poor game, with both goalkeepers performing well but WBA playing for a draw and Charlton playing with no ambition or flair. With Thomas on the bench and Murphy now gone, it is hard to get too excited about the season ahead with a midfield of Mr Clean Shorts and two players who couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.

If Bent (D) doesn't score, and he should have tonight, who is? Ignore the back four because if we are lucky they will get two goals between them during a season, so we are left with Romm and Ambrose, two players I would start.

They are two players that can do things that gets your bum out of your seat and two players that can create goals for the front two. Problem is Curbs doesn't seem to know where and when to play them.

Oh well, another point towards safety I suppose.
