Sheffield Wednesday 1 Charlton Athletic 2

“Since being a player at the club in 1998 and since I have come back, we never do well in the cups. It is almost a running joke at Charlton.”

Well, well, well. What an incredible 72 hours to be an Addick. I was otherwise disposed during the game at a dinner and managed to avoid slipping off to the loo to check my phone until just after the final whistle text’s in capital letters came through from family and friends that told me all I needed to know.

I am writing this sat in a coffee shop and have just embarrassed myself by simultaneously crying and smiling like a child who has just won a year’s supply of ice cream. Please join me.

Just when you thought you couldn’t love someone any more, eh?
