Wallow

As Pembury Addick so eloquently put in my comments box the other day, us Addicks are having to re-educate ourselves in the art of enjoyment. 4-0’s up at half-time don’t come along very often and yes I have allowed myself a little bit of self-wallowing this week.

A week that has mostly been spent in the company of Americans, although there were some Germans thrown in too and I’ll leave the story of me having to explain what my poppy meant for another post!

Normally I avoid any real conversation about football with those young soccer upstarts from across the Atlantic because it invariably gets to the “which team do you support” question, and the answer is always met with a blank apologetic stare.

But not this week. I have explained to all and sundry who the mighty Charlton Athletic are and if they get home and Google English Football League One, then they can start at the top and see for themselves who I support.

Feels good, doesn’t it?

Anyway on to the dreaded Cup tie on Sunday then and a chance for me to watch the game live, preferably on the telly (Cambridge v Wrexham is on ESPN now), but I have yet to track it down on one of the American channels. Otherwise it will be an online feed.

I’d imagine Chris Powell will make some changes. I don’t expect BWP to play for example. All the right things have been said from the training ground this week and I hope that we approach the game in the right frame of mind, whoever plays.

It’s great to see that we will be wearing a poppy on our white shirts and for those going you have my admiration, and I hope we can continue the wallowing.
