Charlton 1 Crystal Palace 0
"If they had put that effort in all season and under Pardew they would not be in this position. They are all big earners and they should look at themselves in the mirror because they don't play Crystal Palace every week." - Warnock makes a very valid point.
The below was all I literally had time to write last night before I had to rush off to meet some people for a wine tasting event, so it was Paulliac and not Peroni but it tasted bloody good. Before the game I was thinking of what Kings Hill Addick wrote the other day and that is to think of each game as a seperate event. Just like we did when we were kids, and therefore the emotional tie was just to that one game. As I listened to the commentary I kept going back to that and it held my nerves in check, but equally while we rightly celebrate the moment, on Saturday afternoon there is another completely unrelated game. Those attending today's AGM will do well to consider the same.
From both sides of the divide (I spoke to a Palace friend very generous in defeat) I heard it was a poor game, but frankly we are not looking for total football but total pride and last night that is what we got and credit to the players and managerial staff for that. Some of the actions of the players at the end, and the performances of Hudson and Soares, showed that maybe, just maybe they care as much as we do.
Parky should blow that quote up from Neil Warnock and post it all over the dressing room. Come on Charlton, let's show everyone what it means to be US!
