we'll support you forever more Trying to stay positive about anything Charlton this week has been difficult. We're at home tomorrow, and to be honest I'm not looking forward to it at all. Of course I'll be dragging my sorry arse out of bed before 6am in the morning to get to the one pub in Chicago that opens that early for live Premiership matches. I know nothing else. Wind, rain, sun, good times, bad times, as the song goes, "we'll support you forever more."

But we're not the concern are we? Let us hope the players show some pride and bloody effort tomorrow. We've never asked much as Charlton fans, but we deserve more from those that get paid to wear the shirt and so does Les Reed.

The players could take a leaf out of the Valley Flags Campaign's book. The fans behind that, which includes supporters' director Ben Hayes have shown us what a little devotion can do.

While Jordan continues to shout his mouth off like someone with a extra large case of Tourette's, I was interested to read that fans will have to pay £3 tomorrow to hear what Richard Murray has to say on the whole sorry affair. Has the club stooped that low to shed some programmes?

One thing that did come out today was that Charlton only have to pay up a third of Dowie's contract, roughly £800,000, as reported in today's South London Press.

Okay, all together now:
"Get up, get up, get out of bed,
Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red,
Live, love, laugh and be happy."

Come on, I'm doing my best!  ¶ 17:07
