Norwich home. What was the score? 4-0 Feels good this winning malarkey. Talk of doom was obviously premature. I sat and watched the live text click over on the BBC website every two minutes and very satisfactory it was too. Not quite the real thing of course but a win is a win.

I spoke to one of my mates after the game and he did tell me that Norwich were the worst team he had seen for ages and reading the Charlton web pages it seems as if others were in agreement, however a clean sheet and 4 goals - which vastly improves our crap goal difference - should not be sneezed at. We all know confidence breeds success and it's good to bank some more points ahead of a tough looking few weeks on the calendar.

I am pleased for JJ, in his first season for us he often looked so dangerous and even forgotten man Konchesky scored. I'm told Murphy looked better again, Thomas once more was a revelation and El Kak had another strong game and decapitated a few Canaries in the process after kicking the ball with all of his might into the Jimmy Seed Stand. Good lad.

Breaking news. Kevin Lisbie is Curbs' lovechild. It's official. Team player or not, he wears number 10 on his back and it would be nice if he occasionally looked like scoring.

Anyway, back to the postives. My day was complete when the Live Text clicked over at about 10 minutes to 5 (GMT) and told me that Milan Baros had scored a late penalty at Anfield. Wonderful day all round.
