Big day ahead. I have a horrible feeling ManU are going to let us down (again!) - so, we have to win. I think we will, perhaps 2-0.

I have a funny feeling BR might surprise us with his team selection. I think CB might be on the bench. He might not risk AS today, and could keep him back for the Blackburn game.

So, free from the pressure of the Team Pick Comp, how about the following?:

Given

Hughes.....Dabizaz(or O'Brien).....Distin.....Bernard

Solano.......Jenas.......Speed.......Robert

Dyer.......Cort

Don't be daft man. Cometh the hour cometh the Lua. Cort will not play. Well, he didn't last week, even tho he was on the bliddy pitch :-(

If Shearer plays - no Cort. If he plays - Lua2 (I hope)

Mornin' all. I'm off to the shops in a mo' but will be here for the match. I hope no Cort but I reckon he'll be on at some point. TBH I'd like to see Chopra get a run-out at some point this season but it's pretty unlikey.

Anyone else expecting Chelsea to beat Man U? I certainly am.

The number 12 from Walker should be passing my gaff at around 13.15. I intend to be on it. Hoping for a cracking match. See you all in the Strawberry or back here, at which point I shall be well ratted.

Regardolas,

2-0 to Man Utd. Not very often that we can feel happy about that kind of score. Just 15 minutes to go so unless Chelsea do to a Toon v Derby, we're looking good

Good afternoon all.

Hopefully by 5 O'Clock we will be 6 points clear of Chelsea and almost assured of Champions league place.

Unfortunately I am out all afternoon but I shall look forward to reading the end of this thread and match reports later this evening.

UP THE TOON

Ooooooohhhh....you mean the one that has (Charlton match thread" in the title. Only read the first part. Told ya's I was out of it today. %-}

Huh. So my match thread wasn't good enough for youse. Well, I'll take a hint and sod off and not start another.

Oh calm down, Screach. The title was just a bit too subtle for some of us (under the influence of pain and drugs). ;-))

-- Anonymous, April 21, 2002

Easy for you to say "calm down", but some of us were getting really psyched up for the game! You know, us highly trained athletes supporters are very nervey and getting your thread turned over can be very damaging to one's mental state. Well, that's my excuse anyway.

Can we have this in writing Screach? :-)
