We are in the playoffs though aren't we 🤔

I would have assumed that any reasonably intelligent person would know that my post references the position at the end of the season. Perhaps not though

The items which seem to cause constant angst amongst a number of forum members regardless of our league position appear to be - in no particular order -

Warne as manager per se

Warnes tactics 

The current playing squad

Given that all 3 are unlikely to change over the short term I was pondering on how those forum members would cope with this reality?

Well, I cope by hoping desperately that we can somehow, despite playing really badly, haul ourselves into the play offs

I'm gonna don the tightest "bonnét de pedant", and give a  hypothetical thumbs down to this, as their catchphrase was good night, not goodbye.
I know... and I'm very sorry.  

Agree, and should be Barker’s and Corbett’s. And should have been a full stop after £5 and a new sentence starting My.  There’s nothing like spoiling a good joke 🤭

As an ex keeper myself, I think JW has the better all round game. The reason given for him not playing was given as he'd had a knock. He has been criticised for going down too often. I would agree but I'm old fashioned and still think you go down when injured and for no other reason. Most times when he goes down, it's at a point in the game where the opposition is getting the upper hand. I think he does it to take their momentum away. I also think he shouldn't do it for that reason. I know other teams do it, I just don't like it.

Agree. I think there has been a new rule brought in during the last few years, whereby a goalkeeper when either catching a shot or collecting a back pass, has to throw himself full length on the pitch. 🤨

Americanitis. Other symptoms include saying “I’ve gotten”, “Can I get” and the single finger gesture ! What was wrong with good old two fingers. 🤣

Agree in part but remember that “gotten” is good old English, meaning a recent acquisition such as “I’ve got a car“ ( I have or own a car) and “I’ve gotten a car” (I’ve just bought a car).  Lost in UK now but still there in “forgotten”. “Guys” is another. Dropped out of  use over here in the late 1700s but has made a comeback. The single digit gesture is Italian in origin.
Right, English lesson over, back on your heads

Our budget is Skoda currently 

More like a third hand Trabant

I would never regard this as a Derby. Too different in size to be rivals. Manure v Salford wouldn’t be a Derby for me either

No poster mentioned he worked in Hatton Garden London and the Mitre is a gorgeous tiny old pub off Hatton Garden down a gitty that is actually part of Ely cathedral in cambridgeshire. It wouldnt fit a starbucks

Was there yesterday. Used to be part of Cambridgeshire and the licensee had to go to Ely to renew the licence, but that was a very, very long time ago. Nice old pub near the Hat and Tun, another good ‘un

Clearly CBT is off somewhere imminently as he’s not in Charlton squad today - time will tell

If hes coming to us, but it looks like Charlton are looking to secure his replacement before they let him go 🤔

It’s been reported in this thread that he was injured in training on Friday 

This thread has somehow morphed from CBT to Chips and peas, especially that awful food of the devil, mushy peas (perhaps I’ve lived in London too long, changed my taste buds, and I’ve become nesh)

Oh man. Carl Leaburn was in the Charlton team at my FIRST EVER Derby game at the BBG in 1994, and now his son Miles pops up in a highlights reel. Somehow I am now old.

You feel old! My first ever Derby game was in the early 1950s to see Stan Mathews at the BBG!

I thought Peterborough edged it. They looked really sharp going forward and were the best team I’ve seen so far. A deserved win.

Has this not had its day . 

Would sooner have the dambusters music at least it stirs the heart strings for what they did . Don't think I've ever been a fan of this as I find it a bit corny and slightly embarrassing plus most fans have never really heard of him ......no disrespect . 

 

But if your going to ramp up atmosphere Steve bloomers washing is one sure way of how to kill it . Remember when John Gregory was manager he introduced U2 " streets have no name " . Isn't it time we had some good ramp up the atmosphere songs to the lads coming out . Puts his tin hat on . 

Well West Han seem to do well with “I’m forever blowing bubbles” !!!

London based fans will be interested to know that the Rams Supporters London branch will be meeting at the Redwood Bar in London Bridge station to watch the match. Games against Fleetwood and Burton should be back at the usual venue the Stage Door near Waterloo

Went to the West Ham v Manure match today. Manure were abysmal. A shadow of their former selves, Rashford  hopeless

Funnily enough I googled the spelling and was offered 3 versions , you seem to have got the meaning from the one I chose , rather spell wrong and people get it than spell right with people not having a clue what your on about 😂

Yes, I always knew it as the spelling in Mexico where it originated- piñata, pronounced as pinyata. It has a duberry over the n.
