WalworthOwl Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I couldn't get a ticket for Charlton, so I sat in a home stand with a Wednesday mate. It takes away a lot of the enjoyment when you have to suppress your natural reactions: joy at the lads' beautiful football and togetherness, elation at goals, laughter at the ineptitude of the oppos. Worst of all is standing up and pretending to applaud if the oppos score. But Charlton was fine. A one-nil win was perfect, with a dominant display and plenty of missed chances which took the energy out of their fans. The goal was so beautiful that it seemed right even among home fans to nod and say “That was really good”. So a dominant 1-0 win every time I'm sitting with the home fans please lads. I'm sorry this means we might miss out on 100 goals, but I'm sure you see it's for the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChinaOwl Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Aye, there's nothing better than a good old 1-0 lead - especially when the dude with the "Added Time" board holds up a seven or eight! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I once had to applaud three Leeds goals against us from the home stand at Elland Road. I've had better days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had better days. I think this is one misconception fans have in such a situation. We give humans more credit than we should. Never have I stood up to celebrate a goal and thought “that bloke three rows in front isn’t clapping, must be an away fan”. Similarly, in life, we are often embarrassed about what other people think about us when in reality they’re not giving us a second thought. Dont know why I’ve gone deep for such an inconsequential comment as this. sorry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Stressful defensive masterclasses that result in 1-0 wins does nothing for my ticker Having had two heart attacks already I'm always looking for us to get the 5th before half time And a 6th and 7th early in the second half just to make sure Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

I've had better days. I was once in the home end at Elland Road, Wednesday went 1-0 up, then varney scored 2 for Leeds. Refused to stand up for their first, went to watch it under the stand after their second, ended up telling a Leeds fan to Jeff off cos he wunt shut up talking about Leeds at me. Went back to the pub then. What a bad day out that was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilfsmith Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I make it 9 league matches we’ve won 1-0 so far. Over 28% of our matches before Saturday. I don’t remember a season like it where we seem to have such conclusive performances but only win by the narrowest of margins. long may it continue!

Watched second on the concourse until Leon Clarke scored decisive goal and i legged it through the exit doors into Wednesday end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
