The big game is nearly here

First things first, Frankie' s gone and a great big void has been left . The obituaries for Frankie have been muted to say the least, as though he is just on holiday and will start posting again any moment . We still have the overseas contingent, but Frankie was the Number one Uk representative. Oh well he retired whilst still at the top .
Looking forward to Tuesday's game against Stoke and in my last Tennis match against Canterbury, whilst discussing football over lunch in the bar, one of their players confessed to being a life long Stoke supporter and as a kid watched Stanley Mathews . Bet there are not many of those about in the South East!
The big game for me is on Friday the 8th against the resurgent Palace and I'm hoping we will give them a right royal bashing -on the field that is, not on the terracing. Where I live and play tennis there are number of Palace fans and they have been giving it large, so please Charlton, do to Palace what we did to West Ham last season.
Free weekend and its a pity we are not playing Peterborough, but promotion is our main priority.
The sun will be shining on Saturday and an early morning game of tennis will set the day off nicely.
Fantastic results in the Australian Open over the last couple of days and the women's final looks very interesting with the best looking girls on the circuit playing each other. Lobs will be at a premium when you consider Sharapova is 6ft 2ins tall and Jankovic is over 6ft 1ins.
Finally Federer has been beaten on a hard court by Djokivic the no 3 seed who will now meet the unseeded Mohammed Ali look alike Tsonga












Come on You Reds

Love the pictures CND.
As I scrolled down, I was hoping to find the one of the girl wandering off towards the net while scratching her bum.
Nevermind.
I also hope that we give Palace a footballing lesson. Unfortunately, Colin seems to have shaken them up and they are most definately the form team lately. Added to that, they do have to beat us at some time and I believe Simon Jordan will let his players know exactly how important the game is to him. I wonder if he is actually going to show up. Will he travel by train?? He isn't too popular in the Directors area and I would also guess that the home crowd might have some colourful advice for him too.
Keep up the good work in these dark, FV free days.
Hope to see you in Legends some time soon.
