Charlton try damage limitation with Young Another Laurel & Hardy moment this morning at the FA after they told Charlton's officials that they have no need for those airplane tickets to Porto because actually England never did had a qualifying entry. But not to worry, in true Eurovision style I will switch my support to Haverfordwest County AFC.

I also note today that Billy Davies has left Preston for Derby County. A move that I imagine most Preston fans will find hard to comprehend, but my curiosity will make sure that I take an added interest in Derby's season.

Confusing news out of the Club today about Luke Young's future. I believe What was the score? was the first blog to announce that our captain would be on his way to Upton Park in the summer - I have it on very good authority - but like most fans I was pleased to see that Charlton had offered him a new deal today.

However later today it was materialising that the board are trying a damage limitation pact with Young and his agent, who it was reported had already put in a transfer request. My sources tell me that he has already made up his mind despite the belated new contract offer a week after Jon Fortune got offered his at the same time Chris Perry got shown the door.  ¶ 04:41
