It all started when it was decided that Charlton was an area full of common, saarf east London ****s. That's how I remember it anyway. I would take what they say as gospel but as we all know the average IQ round there is around 83, so it doesn't really matter to me.

Smirking_Saint Posted 17 July, 2009 Share Posted 17 July, 2009 Lol, just read through the charlton thread, they really are a clueless bunch of c*nts aren't they ?? Saints skint ?? Have you not read the news ?? You lot are in 40 mil of debt guys and heading towards admin so i would keep the slimey mouths shut about punishment. Besides, think pardew will do ok, charlton tied his hands when it came to spending and they really were a dire dire football team, how we lost to them i really don't know. If Pard's goes in for shelvey i would be in dream land, i'd like to say asset strip the whining council estators but they really have not got anything worth taking.

There was that nonsense at Maze Hill and one or two pub incidents in Soton City Centre but frankly I'd be amazed if the Saints/Charlton rivarly really exists outside of about 100 idiots on either side.

I think you may be very right for a very small and sad element of their fanbase and probably ditto our idiots as well as Pompey can't be bothered either at the moment. As I say, I don't think 95% of either clubs' fans would be aware of it really. Besides which, it's Pardew they seem to hate anyway. If Coventry had played us when Strachan was still in charge of us, they'd have been seriously keyed up to win and get one over on WGS.

Graffito Posted 17 July, 2009 Share Posted 17 July, 2009 I can't be bothered to read the views on the link in the OP because it doesn't matter what a few internet posters think of Pardew but I have to say I have a lot of time for Charlton. The club had major problems in the past but the fans rallied round and it pulled through. They are facing financial problems again and having been through what we have with Saints I have sympathy for any club with similar problems....with the one exception.

OldNick Posted 17 July, 2009 Share Posted 17 July, 2009 reading the posts on the Charlton site is sobering. There again it is a football forum. How many listened to the sunderland fans about Kelvin? I will be cautious after reading that, but they are bitter and do mention his bad signings. The wages and fees of course are down to the team behind him not his doing.

It was a bit like reading one of our threads as soon as someone mentions RL. Spot on. Some managers don't work well at certain clubs at certain times - Redknapp at Saints for example - and therefore the fans of that club are not going to wish that manager well wherever he goes without neccessarily bearing any malice to the club itself or it's fans.

Considering they benefit from London transport links it just about says it all. We also saw more Aldershot supporters in our pub visit to Charlton last year. Did they really deserve to have a premiership team ?? Yes - they rebuilt that club from scratch after suffering asset-stripping on a scale that only compares with Brighton. They filled the Valley regularly and regularly gave the big clubs bloody noses. We always found it offensive when people challenged our right to be in the PL - they were there on merit same as Saints were and have since been on a similar journey downwards as well. There was no sugar-daddy and I'd much rather have Charlton back up there than plastic like Fulham, Pompey, Wigan etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringwood Saint Posted 17 July, 2009 Share Posted 17 July, 2009 Hmmm - Reading the thread there is not a lot of love for Pardew, plenty of Criticism on the job he did there.

The Cat Posted 17 July, 2009 Share Posted 17 July, 2009 We have had a lot of trouble with them in recent years, i have got no idea why it started but seem to remember incidents at charlton away and home here for a few seasons. It started in the Parkside Tavern before Charlton's first game at St Mary's. They had a lot of dodgy fans down that day, some Combat 18 nutters and so forth. A couple of Saints fans got bottled. Sadly some of them decided they would like to gain some sort of revenge, and so the meet at Maize Hill was arranged. The incident at Maize Hill was very minor, however it had stupidly been put together on the internet. The Police had monitored that, looked on the CCTV and then made dawn raids to arrest the culprits. Their phones were confiscated and all evidence combined meant that some of the protagonists were put inside for between 2 and 5 years. They were also banned from all football in England for about 5 years. Some of the Saints fans involved are now back at St Mary's and have season tickets.

Verbal Posted 17 July, 2009 Share Posted 17 July, 2009 All of this reminds me a little bit of the reaction from Sunderland fans when we signed Kelvin. The vitriol was unbelievable - and KD was indeed a bit of a liability in a season where he was obviously trying to recover his self-esteem, let alone his form. But now look where he is - our first signing of the season was, by miles, our player of last season. Sometimes the talent and the situation just don't 'fit'. Charlton were and continue to be a club in freefall. The ONLY way they can hit bottom now is when (not if) they are forced into administration. Pardew appeared there as things were becoming desperate. No wonder it went pear-shaped I even wonder how Pardew might have fared here had he been appointed during the duck-fiddling regime. Not even remotely as well, I bet, as he can at a club reborn, that seems determined to support an experienced football manager - and a club that is debt-free and setting its sights on a place two floors up. Who knows - Pardew may be Burley Mark II, although I doubt he'd be as tactically befuddling. But Kelvin can certainly give Pardew chapter and verse on how to turn around any adverse fan reaction. If Pardew gives us a football team that - for the first time in years - is organised, fit and tough-minded, then he'd have silenced the 'dementers'. We've lacked these utterly basic qualities for so long that I think we'd be deliriously happy with just that (and a chance at the play-offs...).

Crab Lungs Posted 17 July, 2009 Share Posted 17 July, 2009 I, and my friend Paul Chuckle have always despised Charlton. We used to dislike Coventry when they were in the Prem, but realised the real hatred was towards those wan kers. Many reasons, but one of the best examples to justify our hatred was what happened at a service station a few years back. Arrogant, up themselves arseholes. Like Bournemouth, wouldn't mind them suffering a bit more simply because of their fans attitudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is worrying but I trust the new owners. Charlton post-Curbishley was always going to be a tough gig and Dowie, Reed, Pardew and really Parkinson have all failed since. Bolton have never really got over Big Sam going. Nail on head - its only really the very top managers that seem able to achieve at all clubs - and even some of them dont manage it - combination of factors - IMHO WGS took over a pretty good squad that just gelled and peaked at teh right time - take Beatties 23 prem goals that season, and the pairing of Claus and Killer with Bridge and Mazzer - all just seemed to work out - and which of those did WGS bring in? I think with Charlton, for Pardue it just never worked out - no different from WGS at Coventry so lets hope he can do teh business and uncover a few few hidden gems - not going to be easy, but It about tiem a manager was given a decent proper contract as we have now... gives confidence and stability, now just got to deliver - the challenge for him should be that after 3 yaers we should be challenging for Prem promotion - a tough objective but achieveable.
