Charlton 3 Leicester 3
Its seems at the moment our defence is about as consistent as the Government are at handling the current credit Banking crisis . So with that in mind tomorrow is going to be a combination of all the rides of the Fun Fair. Be prepared for your nails to be bitten down to the quick as Charlton concede 3 soft goals before half-time , then a magnificent fight back with Reid, Varney and a late equaliser from super sub Mcleod to grab a point.
Team for tomorrow

Semedo

Older readers or bloggers will remember Len Glover, who played for Charlton 195 times and scored 24 goals between 62/63 to 67/68. He became a firm favourite of mine after some fantastic performances in an average Charlton side. He was transferred to Leicester in 1967 for £80,000, at the time a record fee for a winger. Those where the days. It seems that he is held in even higher esteem by Leicester City supporters, where he went on to make over 234 league appearances mostly in the old First Division. Without saying too much, its seems that Len went on a long holiday a couple of years back.
There and back to France in 8 hours
Yesterday I took a day off work to do my quarterly trip across the Channel and stock up on wines and my favourite beers, Suffolk Ale and Old Speckled Hen . At a third of the UK price it means I can spend the savings watching Charlton and going out to a restaurant once a week. (what savings on alcohol, some people might not look upon that as a saving) Its ironic, as you could say the Government fund the NHS on taxes they charge on Beer and Cigarettes in the UK and the French get a few hundred million a year of money that should be spent here, but isn't because of the high taxes. Catch 22 - those heavy smokers and drinkers (which does not include me ) who buy their fix in the UK are indirectly paying for their nursing care in the end.
