Should be our first ton today, if I have owt to do with it. Don't want to look at D&G as my bet takes preference.
I was supposed to go to a wedding reception tonight and tried to convince my missus I was too sick. She said if I was well enough to go to the match I was well enough to go to the wedding so I’ve taken to my bed. I think I made the right choice I reckon I’m one more painkiller away from liver failure.
Hasn't he got sausage fingers, being a tank driver and what have you?
We'll all get banned.
First ton? I've got a 13k

The tank regiment base was/is in Dortmund. When I was there a squaddie pinched a tank, went into the city centre and drove over 6 cars - with obvious consequences !!!
Don't want to follow any links just in case I can't find my way back here.
Would love to drive a tank around Sandwell, but nobody would notice I was ever there.

“Charlton Athletic?" I asked myself incredulously, as the fixture list was announced “Who the absolute Fword are Charlton Athletic?"
Never having heard of this footballing minnow before, I have scoured the supernets highway to discover what I could of this novelty club over-reaching themselves in the Championship.
Here we are then:
"Charlton Athletic Football Club" were formed in 1905, to celebrate the 21st birthday of total football which was born, in a manger, in Derby, in 1884. They turned professional in 1920 and entered the Football League the year after.
As were the rules back in the day, very poor sides like Charlton and Forest were forced to wear an identifying strip of red shirts and white shorts, a tradition that holds to this day.
Nicknamed “The Addicks" predominantly, this is thought to be due to a local chip shop owner who used to give the players free fish suppers, or “Addick and Chips" due to the locals being unable to speak English properly. True story. Another nickname is “The Valiants" which I presume is somehow related to the tempo of their play being similar to the effects of valium, which the locals also can’t pronounce.
Their present manager is Rams Legend Chrissy Powell, Ram of The Year 1996/97. Having achieved his lifetime ambition of playing for Derby by the tender age of 27, let the glory go to his head and his career nosedived, with three spells at Charlton and ending up at Leicester City. Realising his fall from grace, Chrissy retired from playing in 2010 after his Leicester side were beaten by his boyhood heroes 1-0 at Pride Park.
Charlton chairman Michael Slater appointed Powell, an inexperienced manager but former fans favourite, because he thought his popularity would override any criticisms of his inexperience; he also refuses to publish transfer fees and most of Charlton’s business is “undisclosed". Sounds like a recipe for disast... Oh. Right.
Powell’s managerial career is going great guns; almost 50% win ratio, he led the Addicks to last year’s Division 3 title with 101 points.
Charlton lost the 1946 FA Cup final 4-1 at Wembley to a far superior side, however they returned the following season and made amends when beating Burnley 1-0.
Charlton won possibly the greatest match ever seen at Wembley, the 1997/98 Championship Play Off Final against Sunderland, with Michael Gray’s nerves disintegrating before the entire watching world. Hilarious stuff.
Other famous Charltons are Bobby and Jackie, although when I approached them for comment, neither had heard of the club.
Other Rams Legends who once plumbed the depths at Charlton are Christian Dailly, who commanded transfer fees that nobody then or since has ever understood, and Rob Lee, who was plucked from obscurity to represent the Rams 48 times in 2002/3.
Charlton have not escaped the perils of football finance and were forced to groundshare with rivals Crystal Palace from 1985-2002, having entered administration in 1984. To thank their gracious hosts for this favour, in 2006 they signed Iain Dowie as manager despite him clearly being useless AND fugly. Simon Jordan, professional tosspot, successfully sued Dowie for leaving Palace despite it quite clearly being beneficial to them.. weird.
Famous fans of the club include liberal and easy-going comedian Jim Davidson, Professional Mojaca impersonator Glenn Tilbrook and shoe bomber Richard Reid.
That’s all the information I could find on tomorrow night’s opponents; feel free to add whatever snippets you may have gleaned about this little-known outfit.
I thought somebody already had drove a tank around Sandewll
They did £1,000,000 of improvements

Got this lot as my 16-1 outsiders for the title
Best players out for most the season.
That Derby chap is good Tatter
First day back from Spain - got to do some work, back later
He puts a lot of effort in Wolfgang. I found him when we played them and have been checking him out ever since.
