The table shows us at the bottom but what it doesn’t show is that we have played the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and an inform Portsmouth and Aston Villa. While this is no excuse for any manager, this with a list of injuries can count for a lot.Saturdays game will be forever marked in football history for a dramatic second goal from Robben van Persie that sealed Charlton’s fate along with putting his name on the record sheets for an excellent goal.
Some notable moments from the game:
1st half saw Jimmy Floyd pass a nice cross along the goal to Darren Bent who put Charlton on the score sheet. It looked off side from where I was sitting but this referee wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed for this game.
Arsenal always looked like they were going to score. Scrappy defensive work from the home team saw van Persie put his name on the score sheet after 32minutes.
49 minutes on the clock saw Van Persie take his volley from mid air. What a shot and what a pleasure to be in the stand to see it.
The referee: The referee on this game had a poor performance, he wasn’t on Charltons side and equally wasn’t for Arsenal either. The crowd were very frustrated by his choices and he didn’t allow the game flow naturally. A handball by Gallas in the second half went un noticed at the same time some hard tackles by Charlton equally went by the way side.
Hasselbaink messed up big at the end when he missed a total sitter heading the ball wide. From looking at the replay on tv, if he left the ball alone, Bent was behind him and could have slotted it in.
The table looks something like the following. It looks bad for the Addicks but hoping that this is the worst of it over by now.
